A late model Russian Tokarev is a nice pistol and very reliable. I like the ones with the reddish brown grips.
No rechambering needed,it just uses a hotter version of the .30 Mauser cartridge.

The Bergmann and the Astra 400 pistols are chambered for the
9mm Largo cartridge not the .30 Mauser. I have never shot a Bergmann,I have shot a Astra 400. It has a good kick!

Thanks Bob.
Just to be clear. The 7.63X25 (.30 Mauser) can be fired through a 7.62 Tokarev chambered pistol?

I've read and heard for years that 7.63x25 Mauser can be fired in 7.62x25 Tokarev weapons, but haven't actually done this myself.

Here's a link for what it's worth.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7.63x25_Mauser

I looked into this when the CZ 52 pistols arrived and the 7.62x25 Tok was hard to find in non-corrosive ammo. You might try the 7.63x25 Mauser ammo in a Tokarev or CZ 52 pistol. I don't know if the 7.63x25 Mauser ammo is hot enough to reliably cycle the CZ 52 action. Don't know about converting a more modern pistol to 7.63x25 Mauser.

Still have a CZ 52 pistol and 7.62x25 Tok and 7.63x25 Mauser ammo around here somewhere, but it's on zombie reserve status.
