New Production 9x19 Tokarevs

I'd like to have a couple of the Yugos in 7.62x25, and a boatload of spare mags.

You can now buy one with slide mounted safety like that found on Walther PP. These Serbian TTs are still made the old fashioned way.

Sorry if I am missing something here.

What do you mean the old fashion way? I keep looking at the M70A's and the safety is on the slide. Did the original Yugo tok have the safety on the slide? All of the pictures of the Serbian M70A's I see have slide safeties. The safety on my Romanian toks have the add on safeties and the M70A's look nothing like the Romanian's.

Heck, being familiar with the 1911, I actually like the frame-mounted safety on the Zastava M57.

@bigdog pete...the older, aka surplus m57s have the 1911 style safety, and the factory aka zastava engineered and modified them, themselves at the factory. The new production m57 and m70 have the slide safety...also engineered by zastava and made that way from the factory. The romanian and polish etc that century imports, meaning the surplus pistols all have the crappy added by various subcontracots working for century safeties by the trigger area.

The old fashioned way I think he means in serbia, zastava still makes the pistols the old fasioned way, more than the safeties. although I don't know if that is true or not? I got no idea, but id bet there is some modern cnc machines and such in use at zastava, but like I said, I got no idea?

Snowdog,
I am thinking about getting one of these new M70A Toks with the slide safety and was hoping someone would chime on what they thought about the safety.

Thanks,
