I have a romanin Tok which i use as my carry piece. first thing i did was spend 2 hours getting all the cosmoline out. Finally had to leave it out in the sun for an hour or so sitting on a pile of rags (let mother nature soften it up). Second thing i did was to Duracoat it a dessert tan, came out pretty nice. Couple of things that i've noted; it's a long slide pistol, so i find it a little uncomfotable sometimes to carry up front, especially while driving. Also, the grip is, for me, a little short. I'm a pretty big guy though, with pretty big hands and i find that i have to shoot it with my pinkie curled under the bottom of the grip. Also, if you decide to reload for this gun, make sure you buy a metal detector to find the brass

. It flings the spent shells a good 25ft. Aside from that, i find the tok to be a great shooting and reasonably accurate pistol, and a great deal to boot!! Have fun with whatever you choose!
