Verson 0 Posted February 28, 2004 Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 hey guys, I was wondering if anyone had some imput about these two rounds/guns? I plan to get a Makarov no doubt, but I've recently interested in the Tokarev TT. While the 7.62 is smaller in size, it does have a velocity and more energy (all depending on brand ect). I do know the Tokarev TT lacks a good safety, but I would love to refinish one of them. I dunno, comments/suggestions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KySoldier 2 Posted February 28, 2004 Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 9x19 Luger Just kidding man. Can't help you with those two calibers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Verson 0 Posted February 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 yeah, The TT is said to have an export version made in the 9x19 Luger. But a 7.62 hadgun sounds fun. Not to mention the factor of showing up at the range with every gun I own (or plan to own) in 7.62 (except the saiga of corse). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dugiskull 0 Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 762 tokarev is a HOT round. equiv to .357 mag. small bullet going REALLY fast, penetrades soft body armor. get a cz-52, you can fire SMG ammo in it (20% hotter than what you can shoot in TT) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J A 0 Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 The CZ-52 is a very good pistol and the wholesale price is $99 with 2 mags and a holster. It is the best bang for the buck. But their ability to handle hot sub gun ammo is just a urban legend and a dangerous one at that. http://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/Gorge/4653/bad.htm Having fired some of this ammo years ago in a Chinese 54-1(TT-33 copy) I can say it is really hot! Owning both a CZ-52 and a Polish TT-33 I can say the CZ feels better in my hand and the sights are a little better. With surplus 7.62x25mm ammo at 8-10 cents a round it is some cheap shooting. But I shoot mostly Sellier & Bellot because it is non corrosive and at $8-9 a 50rd box it is not that exspencive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Verson 0 Posted March 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Thanks J A. I guess I'll buy a TT, and take it to the range, ect before I do anything to it. If I like it, I'll refinish it in a red or maybe gold or nickle. I have nothing against the cz 52, I like CZs in general, but the 52 looks very sim. to the Makarov.

woody 0 Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 Forget the revolver and get a 10mm semi. Just a bit more power than a .357 and with a 10 you've got yourself 8 FAST ROUNDS. JUST A THOUGHT!! IF you've got your mind set on a revolver go with a .44. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 7.62x25 is an awesome caliber...I have 5 CZ52's All 3 years of manufacture in black rearsenal finish, plus an extra black one for customizing later.... Just bought my first Gray one ('52 dated) and am going to collect all three years in gray also.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chips 0 Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 i had a chance to use a makarov this last weekend. it was accurate, low recoil, and it was very enjoyable to shoot. the only complaint i had was the location of the mag release. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BattleRifleG3 16 Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 9mm Mak is ok for defense but make sure you use hollowpoint bullets, otherwise you won't get maximum energy transmission and you'll have an anemic round as opposed to a capable one. 7.62x25mm is best used on targets and hunting. It's not well developed for US CCW. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Villimus 0 Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 Go to www.the_armory.com (or the-armory.com). They sell Polish TT33 pistols. Not only are they the best Tokarevs available they have a trigger block safety installed for importation. It works as it is suposed to unlike the ChiCom jobs from Norinco and Polytech. The weapons are built to commercial quality standarts. As for carry; I toted a DDR Makarov for a number of years before joining the dept (they now dictate what I carry). Iliked it alot. It carries well and is like a good .38spl in power. CorBon made a hot 95 gr load that is no longer available which I have hoarded small supply away. Currently Hornady loads their XTP in 9x18mm and I thing Federal loads a Hydroshock version. The Hornady is hotted than the Fed load. I would say that ammo supply (HP bullets) can be a problem for the 7.62 but NRAJOE seems to have found a solution. I think both guns would carry comfortably although the Mak has a safety edge with its DA trigger and decocker. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
