im looking to get a pistol caliber carbone... but, id like something historical too so im looking at the PPSH-41s and suomi M31s... i actually like the design of the suomi more, i think its a simpler design... and 9mm is so much cheaper and easier to find... but i really like the high energy, almost rifle like characteristics of the 7.62x25 round... since i dont think i could convert a suomi to 7.62x25, it leaves me with a decision

so... im looking to get one or the other... was wondering if anyone could share some information that may help me decide, or their personal experiences with either one based on ease of cleaning, reliability, ergonomics, durability, and accuracy?
