I would totally get 2 9mm barrels, do the stock mags fit the 9mm??

Punish only he who has committed the crime
Bump for interest. I would buy one for sure. Its too bad we could just get one machined and sell them,. Hmmmmm Iguess you'd need a bushing as well. I wonder if the mags would work I think they should? So how many toks are out there in North America I bet 50 % of owners would buy one if they were in 100 dollar range. I'd be stupid and go higher.
i have been eying this gun as well. they appear to be sold out everywhere...
Weimajack still has some I think. Also, yes to getting a 9mm barrel conversion. Can't shoot surplus at my range and 7.62x25 is impossible to find in lead core around here
What's Weimajack
He bought his guns from Marstar so...

For those looking for 9mm Tokarev conversions out there...after looking high and low, and finally sourcing one, you may find it a bit disappointing.
I happened onto a 9mm barrel and two magazines for my Tokarev last year, then proceeded to buy another TT33 for my conversion.
Long story short, you would need to get a different slide return spring, because, unless you are shooting P+ ammo, it wont cycle properly. Lots of FTE's. I tried all sorts of 9mm ammo, and found that the spent casings would barely clear the ejection port. Most would get caught in the port and jam up the slide.
I bought a used Norc 213 off the EE, and this gun shoots 9mm all day, looks and feels like a TT33. Plus, the gun cost less than the conversion barrel/mag kit.
The 213 uses a different magazines as does the TT33...it matches the length of the 9mm cartridge. The magwell in the 213 has a u-shaped spacer at the rear, in order for these magazines to fit correctly.
The conversion magazines have a u-shaped spacer inside the rear of the standard Tokarev magazine with a modified feed plate and spring, in order to accommodate the shorter 9mm cartridges.
Bottom line? Buy the 213 with as many mags as you can find. You will like the gun much better than messing with the 9 mm conversion barrel and mags.
