Videos tagged with Linked Barrel Short Recoil

This video from Classic Firearms provides an unboxing and overview of several Tokarev pistol variants, including Chinese Type 54, Romanian TTC, and Yugoslavian M57 and M70 models. The presenters discuss the historical context of the Tokarev design, its origins with Fedor Tokarev in Russia, and its adoption by various countries. They highlight key features such as the 7.62x25mm Tokarev caliber, the linked barrel short recoil operation, and the original lack of a manual safety, noting that import regulations often necessitate added safeties on US market examples. The video also touches on variations in grip, finish, and magazine capacity across different national productions.
