Wonder if a 100-110 gr .30 Carbine bullet could be used?
I've heard of the carbine bullet being used with .32 French Long handloads. Theres a 100 gr short jacket Carbine bullet. A carbine bullet designed to expand at 200 yards from the low velocity carbine should expand well at 25 yards frpm a high velocity pistol.

Not sure if the heavier bullets would feed through an autoloader.....but, if you had a Ruger Blackhawk in .30Carbine with a spare cylinder reamed to 7.62x25, you wouldn't have to worry about that.

Looks like we've managed to start a pretty interesting discussion here. Now I'm considering tinkering around with the round just to see what it can do. Makes me wonder how it would perform with cast lead projectiles as well.

Would be interesting of Corbon made a DPX round for the 7.62x25. CCI gold dot round to!
If so, the Yugo guns with the good thumb 1911 style safety would be my pick. Deaf

If one was all I had, or could afford I would not feel under equipped with it. I would choose to have a gun over nothing any day. Though I must admit I would go for a 9mm Mak over the Tok. I carry one in my pocket more than any other gun I own. I know that the time will come when I see a Tok that is priced right when have the money in my pocket, and I will buy it. Then I will shoot the heck out of it.
The main thing I am a proponent of is the fact that no round is a one hit wonder most times. Shot placement counts for more than caliber. Though I carry 9 mm Mak, 9mm Luger, or .45 ACP due to the fact that I like the guns for a number of reasons. I shoot them well enough to know I would be more likely to shoot them well enough in a self defense situation to effectively defend myself. Besides that I have not seen a holster that will allow me to carry a 105 mm self propelled concealed enough to stay within the law.

Round is good, it's the fact that most weapons that use it are 70+ years old.

I can imagine myself trying to conceal that Colefire pistol. The image is hilarious, thanks for the giggle.

We don't see any modern guns in it because the cartridge is too long.

There are people that heard of the tokarev round on the internet and there are others that actually fired and own one.
I reload for the tokarev round with 100gr XTP that goes about 1550fps. That's about 533 ft/lbs of energy. If that is not a viable self defense round then what is? Forget the FMJ Way less recoil than my glock 32 357 sig and about comparable recoil to my glock 19. I much prefer the tokarev round compared to a 9mm if a modern handgun was to be developed for it. |

I've read an article on triage of gunshot wounds during the korean war. The field surgeon who wrote the article told of evaluation of soldiers who'd been hit by bursts from the PPSH SMG.
He said (near as I can remember) these were almost always a line of five or six entry and exit wounds, straight through. He would determine if more than one vital organ had been penetrated, or if a single organ was penetrated more than once, if so the wounded man was left to die, since the time required to patch up multiple hits or hits to more than one vital organ could cost the life of a less seriously wounded man who should be on the table. The angle of the line of entrance wounds was the deciding factor. An uncle was hit by a single round from a burst from a PPSH in the bottom of the foot at the heel, the bullet exiting the top of the foot. He was of course running for his life at the time. The scars left by the wound were impressive, but he suffered no permanent disability and walked without a limp. A truncated cone hollow point would be my choice if I wanted to use the 7.62X25 for self defense. Only reason I've never owned a Tokarev chambered pistol is that every pistol in this caliber that I've fired hit way low for me. Possibly because the first centerfire auto pistol I owned was a 1911. 9mm pistols hit low as well, but not nearly as much. I'm more comfortable with a revolver. PS I can remember the "Russian Icepick" monicker from many years ago, the 60's at least. I haven't heard the term used for decades. Last edited by Rainbow Demon; November 12, 2012 at 03:12 AM. |

If the 327 magnum fits a certain niche, I don't see why an auto version like the 7.62x25 wouldn't. The only real hold up I can see is in a handgun to fit it. While the idea of a modern double stack 15 rd. or so pistol seems interesting it probably wouldn't work in most guns without modifying the frame.
What if we necked down a 10mm to 32 cal? I'd think it would have just as much-if not more- case capacity as a 7.62x25. Maybe even a 40 necked down, like a 357 Sig. |

"Real men carry a 44mag, no less."
I have some serious power options to carry. I carry a little .38 snub.
The only reason I don't carry my CZ-52 is because I have to qualify with each and every semi. TBS, I could qualify with one NAA mini 22lr revolver and be able to carry any revolver of any power of any size (BFR 40-75?) I want to here in NV! My point is, I'd carry my CZ52 all day long, but I'd have to qualify it as an individual entity+$15 for each and every semi I want to carry, THANK YOU BRADY, not to mention a $25 tax for an each firearm you buy for the FBI to give conformation you can buy a gun in NV!

While dumb, that makes more sense than Texas, which will allow you to carry wheel or slide if you qualify with a semi, but not if you qualify with a revolver (as though a glock is that much more complicated than a revolver)

"Is there some kind of documentation for this whole Russian Ice Pick business?"
You might have better success using the German phrase, but I have no clue what that is any more. A friend's Grandfather told me about the soldier's nickname for the 7.62x25. He was in the German Army during WW II and saw considerable action in Russia.
