      Nonsense. It has great effects on soft targets, and it's much better than 9mm against hard targets (and Kevlar).

          JHP at 1600 fps from a handgun. Very deadly. Very good choice.

            I see it's not for sale and have seen zero proof of it actually doing 1600 fps.

            so still zero.

            >very deadly
            >very good choice
            so how many people have you shot with it? where is the data? Are you just assuming that it is deadly because it's a JHP and going 1600 fps?

    I think a pdw in the caliber would make sense with a modern loading and projectile design. If you have that, then it would make sense.

    .357 Sig is a better version of the same concept and it doesn't really get any support, either. 9mm is just too dominant for anything newer to take some market share. It's why .30 Super Carry may fail unless it can carve out a niche.

    Did they even make anything that wasn't FMJ? Zipping a 7.62 bullet clean through someone at 1500fps seems like such a waste of that velocity, especially given how rarely people shoot anything past 40y with pistols.

      Yeah, they make hollow points.
      Everybody hating on the Tok is probably a fed shill (who hate it because it can easily pen Kevlar) or a boomer (who hate it because muh communist bullet). It's better than 9mm in literally every way.

    Sure but the problem is that long cartridges suck in small guns and it'll have to compete with 5.7 guns.

    I guess people still manufacture tok ammo? At a guess, the round isn't necessarily more powerful nor more available/cheap than 9mm?

    That's pretty much what 9x25mm Dillon is.

    9x25 Dillon is better outside of cost. If you reload, it's worlds cheaper with 9mm projectiles.

      If you don't reload, though, it's tough to find the ammo.
      Tokarev bullets are everywhere from old surplus, and S&B and PPU (among others) still make them.
      Also, the tok isn't quite as overpowered. So less recoil, etc.

        >less recoil
        I will agree that it's a reloader's cartridge, but using a comp like Dillon intended turns a 9x25 Glock 40 into a .380.

    I'd rather see 30 luger make a comeback. All it would take to convert a 9 luger gun to 30 luger is a barrel change. All critical dimensions concerning the case body and casehead are almost the same.

        >Why not?
        Because the COAL is very long, meaning it does not fit in standard 9mm Luger-sized pistols nor larger .45 ACP-sized handguns. Together, these two form factors cover more than 90% of the handgun market, meaning there's no handgun out there that it can easily slot into.
        Then there's the problem of it being a bottlenecked cartridge: conventional handgun wisdom says bigger boolit = better boolit, so necked down cartridges with their smaller bullet aren't as good and struggle to gain market acceptance.
        If you wanted a modern handgun in a .30 cal bottlenecked pistol cartridge, I would start out with a parent cartridge slightly larger than 9mm Luger, let's say 10mm, then neck that down to roughly .30 cal. I think it would be a very niche product.

        .30 Luger is only weaker because the originals could not hold more power, a modern +P loading would be about as powerful as 9mm Luger. Nobody makes ammo for it, but it's easy to reload for given the plentiful nature of 9mm Luger brass and .30 cal projectiles.

    Bigger bullet means more hurt. Bigger bullet means more energy at same pressure and barrel length. Advantages of smaller bullet are flat shooting, low bullet weight, barrier penetration (sometimes) but that's really not important for handguns. In short, handgun cartridges should never be necked down. And none of the popular handgun cartridges are, for good reasons.

      >Bigger bullet means more energy at same pressure and barrel length.
      Bigger bullet means more pressure for a given powder charge, therefore, as to not exceed maximum pressure limits, they required a reduced powder charge and as such may end up with less pressure.
      >In short, handgun cartridges should never be necked down.
      Unless the purpose is not the same as most handguns, such as armor penetration (where more velocity and lower surface area both help) or handgun hunting (where you want a flat trajectory to compensate somewhat for the lack of accuracy).
      Except for the popularity of .357 SIG, you are mostly right: almost none of the popular, conventional handgun cartridges are bottlenecked.

        Exactly. Part of the reason why 9x19mm generally has significantly less muzzle energy than 7.62x25mm.
        Seems to me that 7.62 Tok would be a banger of a PDW round, and might work pretty darn well in handguns, particularly with JHP or frangible rounds.

          7.62x25 has way more powder space.

          You shouldn't compare 9x19 to 7.62x25, you should be comparing it to it's parent cartridge 7.62x21 (AKA .30 Luger).

          >Bigger bullet means more pressure for a given powder charge
          ... what? Bigger barrel means the gas has more space to expand, which means lower pressure with the same charge. Or conversely, more powder (=more energy) at the same pressure. That a bigger barrel means more energy at the same pressure is simple physics (F=P*A).
          I was about to write that necked down cartridges have value in niches, but went with the stronger statement instead. 357SIG may have applications, but it is not exactly popular. (Oh, and handgun hunting is nonsense. Use a rifle you fricks.)

          >Bigger barrel means the gas has more space to expand, which means lower pressure with the same charge.
          Hang on, I think we're confusing each other here (my bad, probably). I thought about bigger as in heavier, which very much does increase pressure, meaning you can use less powder (think 158 vs 240 grain .357 Magnum as an example) and thus end up with less power.
          You're thinking of bigger as in bigger diameter, which was the original point. However, that size difference really does not reduce the pressure that much: remember, it's all ''capped'' by the inertia of the bullet. The piston effect (larger surface area equals more force) is what dictates this.

          >handgun hunting is nonsense
          Kind agree, but handgun silhouette is fun as frick.

          Tokarev is just better than .357 Nig and 7.5 FKBRNO. Those are derivative and "proprietary" copycat cartridges that don't offer huge benefits, but carry a huge markup.

    Even if this is true, 7.62 Tok is a better self-defense cartridge for going innawoods. Still not great, but better than 9mm.
