I always kind of wanted one of these though I know almost nothing about them. How hard is it to find ammo?

It's readily available on line or even wally world
At the beginning of WWII Soviet tank crews were issued Nagant revolver as a side-arm. It seemed ideal with its gas seal and no slide, it could shoot through narrow slots in the tank armour.
However they soon discovered Nagant lacked a stopping power to shoot through the German winter coat. Nagants were replaced with TT's, which uses more powerful cartridge.

Surplus has largely dried up but there are commercial sources. Prvi Partizan (PPU) and Sellier&Beloit come to mind.

A fine communist weapon. I might have to grab one.

I have one (zastava m57) and a pps43 to go with it. You can buy ammo or reload it. It's loud as shit and throws fireballs.
I checked and apparently surplus is still out therentonthe tune of $.25-$.35 a round. Not that you have easy access to cheap surplus.

That surplus stuff is unreliable and almost always corrosive. I wouldn't even bother with it.
I used to think these were a bit fugly.
But after buying and shooting one, aye, no regrets.

Did you ever buy rubber grips? I'm not one to use the cliche it's like night and day and actually hate it because most gun gadgets don't really make things that much different but. The grips really do make it feel waaaay better in the hand. Back when I got my tok there wasn't really anything around as far as aftermarket parts but now it seems to have gotten much better. I had to get my grips from a guy in Serbia. Email was the only way to get ahold of him lol! I got a pair of grips like the ones in the middle here. They're great and look sharp. Welcome to Razor Arms, for best grips in the world
Mine has the fugly Safety added by importers.
I'm pretty sure I'd have to cut the rubber grips.
I do like them, though.

Dam safeties ruining everything

Mine does too. The m57 has the one on the slide. By the pictures it looks like it's accounted for. When I got mine it didn't have that little half moon. All I did was take either a nickle or quarter (can remember which) and traced a half moon where the safety would slide. Then an exacto knive and cut it. You have to do it while its on the gun for obvious reasons. If you have one of the toks with the safety on the grip you can do something similar. The grips are really worth the money.
