You metioned the Tokarev and Makarov pistols...
For cheap guns - meaning less expensive guns, these two cant be beat. They are build to be durable and reliable in harsh conditions... kinda like the AK-47 was. If you can find one chambered for a western caliber - then you got a good gun. I am not sure about the Toks native chambering... but the Maks is a good round - more energy than the .380 ACP. I know people how favor these Russian guns, for good reasons. My father actually favors the Makarov pistol... Of course he still cant talk about anything yet... in about another 20 years he'll be cleared to share his war stories.
Anyways - I digress...
Those Beretta mags... unless you have some wear on those, or need a new spring or something - then they should be locking that slide back with no problems... unless there is some interferance - like from a thumb. Are you sure your thumb isnt riding that lever or hitting it during recoil?
