Part of the attraction of a 5.7 goes away with 7.62x25 because the 7.62x25 has the same head diameter of 9mm and the 5.7 is much smaller so you lose rounds in a similar sized magazine quickly.

None of the 7.62x25 pistols, especially the Tokarevs, have what I would call good ergonomics and the after-design safeties are at best poor and at worst an abomination (I've had one of the safeties fall out of the pistol to parts unknown which left the trigger in the 25+ pound range)
