my new polish tok and 2 nd chance body armor

slayr15 · Jun 11, 2010

Got my new polish tok (1952) from sog last week as well as a tin of the rommy tok ammo so.... I had a few second chance vests to play with dated 2005 . I shot 3 rounds of .45 ,.9mm , 357 all 3 did not go thru the vest. All of 7.62x25 zipped right thru the vest and 4 inches of wood. I only had about 30 mins of shooting but this is one nice shooter and all of the rommy ammo I shot (50 rnds) was sure fire with no problems.

I remember back in the mid 1970's, the gunsmith at the shop where I worked in Balto.
always carried a Tokerev. It had the most God awful finish from a car bumper refinising place. Bright Chrome!! He swore by that pistol for reliability and the fact that it would
penetrate anything.

I wore one of those damn No Chance vests. Didn't the company fold after it was determined that the vest were breaking down much faster than advertised?

The TT-33, when you absolutely positively have to shoot that guy on the other side of a cinder block wall.

Yes. It wasn't just Second Chance vests but they were the main ones affected. They were using a new polymer called Zylon as part of the composition of the vest. They found out after the fact that sun and moisture would break down the Zylon much faster than they thought. DOJ did a random sampling of officer owned vests across the country and found them to be failing, some were only a year old. Second Chance folded but the name was bought up by Armor Holdings who also own Safariland and about a zillion other tactical product companies.

Thanks for the range report!!!

do you think there's an issue with overpenetration for a HD weapon :innocent0

Yea man....7.62x25 is a kick ass round :party29:

Guy in my office mentioned he was looking for a cheap shooter, and I steered him to these. I want one...

I'm not the greatest pistol (or rifle) shooter, but I group pretty much the same with my Polish Tokarev as I do with my Glock 17. It's a goofy feeling grip to get used to, but it certainly works.

Good ones are plenty accurate. I have no problems putting lead on target with one, but the sights do kinda suck.

We did a test at one of the group shoots a couple years ago and the tok went through a Kevlar helmet, in one side and out the other. That is one bad azz round!!

Slayr, was the vest a level II or III?

Level ll A. I have a few and will bring some to the next shoot . I belive these are the armor holdings vests and not the bad ones these were sheriff dept trade inns. I also have trama plates but I'm not going to destroy those.

A buddy bought a crate of these for use as body panels for his off road trucks takes the kevlar and glases it. I got some for targets but I would not trust my life to them.

This. They are rather accurate, they have quite a flat trajectory, considering the bullet is going 1600fps it ought to. The sights on the gun suck horribly though which limits the ability to be better with it.
