Anyone else like Tokarevs?

I hot rod the 7.62x25mm Tokarev round with Power Pistol and 110 gr.

I ream out the 9mm barrels to 9x23 and hot rod with Power Pistol and 158 gr.

I converted one to rifle with a Parker Hale 308 sniper trainer bull barrel and a 30 Mauser reamer.

Holy cow! That reminds me of the 1978 Chevy Caprice Classic that Ed Hubel put a 2nd rear axle under in order to make it drive like a deuce and a half.

I tried using it for concealed carry, but it makes me walk with a limp.

Wow, dude.

... Really?

That's pretty rad.

I had one years ago. Interesting piece, but sold it and used the cash towards another Glock 17.

For practical CCW, the cartridge could pose a significant liability for the end user, due to the penetration characteristics of the 7.62 Tok round.

it reminds me of the Joker's revolver.

Curious, do the hollow points produce to same over penetration concerns?

I could be wrong but I don't believe that there is a reliable hollow point design for this cartridge on the market. I haven't looked much though so I may be completely full of shit.

I currently know of no CCW worthy JHP ammo in this caliber. I met a guy a few years ago CCWing a CZ 52 pistol with milsurp FMJ ammo.

No amount of evidence presented regarding the penetration characteristics of the Tok cartridge would sway his handgun/ammo choice for this application.
