My 1st impression with the TTC 7.62x25 round was that the recoil was much less than I'd imagined it would be, it was only when I looked at slow motion footage that I realized the extent to which the whole frame gets tossed up with each shot, -but oddly it seems to come back on target -easier- than a 9mm or a .45 with a standard two-handed auto pistol hold.
Tokarev enthusiasts frequently comment on, the accuracy, the noise of the report, being unexpectedly loud, the large muzzle flash when shot at dusk or dark and the recoil being more manageable than expected. I describe it as being more like a 'shove' than a kick, it seems like the action is spreading the inertia out over a few extra .10's of a second. It's a pretty clever piece of engineering, between the recoil, and the forward movement of the slide the Tokarev just has a knack for coming back on target. This is noticeable in single handed, two hand auto-grip and when bench shooting. I think 1911 owners would agree that the Tokarev definitely puts out a tighter group.
Slow-motion -does- reveal that the Tokarev -is- popping back significantly, it just doesn't FEEL like that's the case when you are shooting.
