Back when the Aimco Lugers were distributed by Mitchell, I had occasion to talk to Mitchell. They told me they had a 10 mm in the back room. No plans to put it in production but they were planning a 40 S&W for production. Shortly thereafter, Stoeger took over the Aimco Luger and messed it up with ugly logos on the side and non-standard magazines.

Now, I'd like to see one in 357 SIG.

7.62 Tokarev or 7.63 Mauser wouldn't hurt either. It would answer my problems trying to come up with a good low recoil high velocity flat trajectory repeating handgun.

I hadn'thought about it but except for the velocity there probably isn't a lot of size difference in the 30 luger and the cartridges mentioned. Both are bottle necked, probably would chamber. That's an accident waiting to happen. I shoot a 1950 Russian Tokarev occasionally. Not competition class but a good shooter.

Not likely. A mauser or Tokarev round will not go into a 7.65 Parabellum chamber. A 7.65 Parbellum in the Mauser or Tokarev chamber would ruin the case but wouldn't run up any great pressure. Accuracy would probably be bad.

The real problem is that a 9 mm Patrabellum will go into a Mauser or Tokarev chamber and then you are in deep doo-doo.

I've heard rumors that a broomhandle will not come unglued when you do this but for one, I ain't gonna try to prove it!

I have some 9mm bullets that a friend have shoot in his 7,63 Broomhandle.

He did actually do that during a number of years without problems, but the last time he fired the gun before he should handle it in (In England) the ejector and trigger housing cracked.

I think its very stupid to do it, but I am amazed that he could do it for so long
