7.62x25 - 06/06/15 03:08 PM
Who offers this caliber in a pistol other than the CZ-52?
There are several offered...Tokarev being the most common. Most of the Communist Block countries manufactured them. They are very sturdy. They were very reasonably priced at one time. This is a screaming hot pistol round that was also utilized in a machine gun by the Russians...
Solid round, ive seen a bolt guns set up to basically mimick the 300 BO its a pretty sweet round, but havent seen a pistol that isnt fugly.

The 7.63x25 and 7.62x25 a virtually identical the biggest difference is the primer size and extractor groove. The Germans and Finns used a lot of 7.62x25 in captured weapons during WWII. The biggest difference is that the CZ 52 was designed to be able to utilize the hot submacinegun rounds not normally used in pistols.

I have a TT-33 that I shoot both 7.62x25 and 7.63 Mauser, though wimpy 7.63 requires a light weight spring. Handloads really make my pistol shine and offer more utility than FMJ loads. I love my tok and it is a excellent size for a carry pistol, but I just can't bring myself to holster it in anything other than condition 3 unless I am hunting.
