The m70A sounds like a pretty good poorfag gun. The only problem

>>31871098
Now that I thought about it, is there any point in buying an M70A/AA for carry? Even if shortening the whole gun was possible without bubba'ing it, is there really a point?
The M88 and M88A pretty much do the same thing as the M70A/AA, only they're both shorter than the M70A/AA by default.

Defeats the purpose of a cheap ccw

Kind of cool idea though

>>31871098
Zastava m88

>>31871098
Only manlets carry compact. Np 44 here small dick

>>31871098
So you cannot afford a Tangfolio CZ copy and your solution is to butcher glorious design of Tokarev?

Barrel length has almost nothing to do with concealability. That's all in then grip and width.

>>31871429
But isn't a longer barrel bound to produce more printing when walking or even standing still?

>>31871546
No? It'll be oriented down your leg. It's the grip length and thickness that determine concealability. Think about it.

>>31871546
To a lesser degree, yes. But with most barrel lengths it's not enough to matter. Toktok might be pushing it though.

>>31871429
i was going to mention the same.
>>31871546
presumably, your cc is in a holster which is tucked into whereever. its the grip that sticks out

5'8 125lb skelemanlet here, the tok is an inherently slim design, even thinner than a 1911. >>31871429 and
>>31871605 are right about the most difficult dimension for concealment being the height rather than length. The m88a is more or less the same size as a Colt 1908, and the full sized m70a barely larger still

>>31871134
I carry one. I like it because when I need to leave it in the car at work (in da hood) I'm not out $500 if Jamal breaks in and steals it.
My job is pretty serious about us not carrying on the property and there are police present. (Transit).

Are the m70a and m88 mags interchangeable?

>>31873623
I think so.
They look pretty similar.
Only difference from what I can tell is that the M88 mags have a talon and the M70A mags do not.
Though I've seen many pics of the M88 with a talon-less mag in and the M70A with a talon mag in.
I'm thinking that's a yes.

>>31871134
The m88a is garbage I owned one and it wouldn't fire properly. The slide would lock back after every round even with a full mag. Had different people shoot it same problem. Sent to the company, got it back, fired 1 round and its still fucked. Don't bothher

>>31875565
M70 mags are 9 rounders, wont fit flush in the m88

Literally what?
Oh also happy 11:11pm of 1/11/16

>>31875603
Yer thinkin of the original M57, m8. Chambered in 7.62 Tokarev

>>31875713
>>31875677
Could of sworn mine holds 9+1

Here's what you do
>save $350
>buy a shield

>>31875593
Its one of the simplest semi autos ever.
How the hell did you get one that doesn't fire?

>>31877438
Idk. But I sent it back to Centeal international arms and they couldn't fix it. I was pissed to because it's a nice little gun. I returned it because I don't want to own paperweights I want to own guns

>>31875834
Where did you buy it from?
Could be that you legit have an M57.
You have any pics of it showing the cartridge it uses?

You could just get yourself a P-64.

Fires 9X18mm Makarov, and is small enough to be a ccw without any trouble. Probably cheaper, too. Got mine for $200 from a friend.

Question for tok owners, will the recoil spring for an m70 work in a TTC?

>>31878974
Probably got it for that cheap because it was from a friend.
Also I really REALLY don't want any gun in 9x18 mak. It's a good cartridge, but I'd rather buy 9mm para. 9mm mak is bound to be more expensive.

This is exactly why all the most popular ccw pistols, like the LCP, G26, Kahr, PPK, G43 and G19 all have 7" barrels with full-size rails with enough space for a flashlight + a foregrip.

>M70A compact 9mm
>not glorious TT-44, bigger uncle to TT-33, full size .44 Magnum

My M88a is nice, never jams and is indeed thin, but its also hevier than a double stack keltec (way more accurate in my hand though, ymmv)
I got mine for 250, its a great value. If your poorish and want a thin 9mm you could do wosre.
A full size TOK is better penetration and again more accurate just bigger, I am a manlet by thevway at 5' 8", so running a full size guns harder, not impossible, but harder I have to care what im going to wear to carry one.

Any pistol gives you an edge , any full size caliber (ie not .32, .25, .380) is better, and if your big enough or care to wear only clothes that let you a full size modern double stack is best.

I was going to say much the same. Also look into the SCCY CPX2. Around $240 and is double stack. Can use 15 round S&W magazines too.

>>31879071
P-64 costs about 220-240 straight from the importer.

And 9mm mak is like maybe 3-4 dollars more per hundred rounds than 9mm. Unless you buy it from a shitty gunstore with a 500% markup.

>>31879949
Huh. Never knew that.

You guys all own the M88a. How does it compare to the M70A, width-wise?

>>31879990
Almost the same like not noticeably diffrent

You´re better off just getting a used Glock or something. I shot one of these in some fancy chrome finish with special grips. The trigger is really, really bad and the sights are pretty bad as well.

>>31880103
That really doesn't sound like a "better-off" scenario.

>>31880142
I meant I shot one of these Zastavas. You´ll have more fun with a police-trade in Glock.

>>31880179
Ah right.
How much do they go for? Where should I look for them?
And aren't glock sights are pretty terrible too?

>>31880311
300-350 sometimes they go for 250. Glock Sights are nothing to write home about but they are miles better than those shitty fixed Zastava sights. And there a lots of 3rd party sights for Glocks.

>>31879990
Like I said the one I got was garbage. If you want to roll the dice on it go ahead but I'm telling you it's not worth it

>>31878933
Got it off J&G sales, it's a 9mm

>>31883388
Strange. Do you mean your gun can hold 9 rounds in total (8 rounds in the mag + 1 in the chamber)?

>>31883388
Ignore my >>31884806 comment. Just read yours saying yours holds 9+1.
Still confused though.
