Ok, I seem to be the world's largest sucker for guns that the rest of the Internet hates. The Chinese Model 213 Tokarev in factory 9x19 Parabellum is one of those beasts. Despite the fact that it's a coveted Factory 66 production, nobody seems to give the thing any respect...until they've fired it.

It just so happens that the monstrosity is the best-shooting 9mm pistol I've ever had the pleasure of handling. It doesn't jam, misfeed, or complain, no matter how little I take care of it or how many people I let shoot it. Trigger pull is pleasant, action smooth, and well-balanced even in my huge, evil claws.

It won't shoot through schools like the original 7.62x25 round would, but in this day and age, isn't that a good thing?

The only real disadvantage I can think of is the fact that none of the rats that have met it thusfar have claimed it, but I have to keep some firearm for my own use sometime.

It also isn't particularly useful for concealed carry purposes, but neither is a flamethrower.
