I have one of these. No matter which one you get there is going to be some kind of safety unfortunately. I believe there are 3 or 4 variations of safties that were put on these to make it into the country. If I had my choice I'd actually prefer the kind pictured above. I have the European style where up is fire and down is safe. It just makes no sense lol. Besides that it's great and fun to shoot. I have a pps43 sbr to make it a perfect pair.

Ok, I'll ask. Can the safety be removed with out altering the action of the pistol?

To start off with some of the safety designs are iffy to begin with. There are reports of some designs going off even when on safe. But these are just reports so who really knows. Apparently alot of people shoot themselves with glocks even though their finger wasn't on the trigger, but I digress. The originals had no safeties at all and relied on a half cock. I wouldn't carry one like that anyhow since the tokarev actually has a positive pin design vs floating pin. This means that the firing pin actually potrudes when the hammer is resting on it. This was done for reliability purposes. It was fine I guess with the ammo of the time because of the very hard primers but you can see where this is going. So to answer your question yes, you can remove the safety but then you would have an ugly hole somewhere on the side of your gun and the possibility of a round going off if chambered and dropped with modern soft primer ammo.
