The Complete Book Of Tokarev Pistols

It’s one of the most common military-surplus pistols seen on the market, but behind the Tokarev is a rich, fascinating history that stretches back to the early decades of the Soviet Union, and production of these guns continues today under the Zastava Arms brand as the M57.

Until recently, though, there had never been a truly comprehensive look at the design, but Cameron White’s The Complete Book Of Tokarev Pistols provides not only a historical overview of the platform but also a technical one.

Across 14 chapters, readers will learn about the original Soviet design and its derivatives, and the book finishes with a disassembly guide, timeline, collector’s notes and further resources. White's The Complete Book Of Tokarev Pistols retails for $40.
