    And there's surplus to be had if you don't reload. But even surplus will cost you as much if not more than 9mm these days. Definitely less than 45acp, and a LOT less than 357sig.
    Technically its a smaller caliber...

    The 7.62x25 shoots a smaller, lighter bullet at higher velocities - 30cal 85-90gr bullets at 1500fps, vs 115-124gr at 1150fps, give or take. The differences in weight and velocity lead to differences in the way the recoil is felt by the shooter.

    I always thought the 7.65x25 would be a fantastic short range small game cartridge if a reasonably accurate little rifle was made to go with it...

    Just for comparison I have a few boxes left of the Winchester Ranger 9mm +P+ 85 grain frangible load. Box says 1430fps from a pistol and I've chrony'd it and it does what it says as an average velocity. I'm still waiting for my Ruger PC 9mm to come in and I'm curious what I'll get for velocities out of the longer barrel.

    The extended slide and mag release were on the last model. The only new thing I see is adjustable rear sight, and no more fibre optic front sight.

    This!

    There is sweet FA in terms of a 9mm commander, let alone with a rail.

    The Norinco adjustable rear sight is not user friendly; it does not lock up well once set, the adjustment is counter intuitive, and I had to add a shim to the elevation hinge pin as it was lose and had a lot of side to side movement even when tight. I'm thinking about getting another one with the fixed sights. My NP58 and my NZ85 have fixed sights, and they are just fine!

    Tenda, are you able to bring in slimmer grips for NP762? I believe the Pakistani version is a bit slimmer.

    ive shot about 200 rounds out of my DA 762 with russian surplus. zero malfunctions so far. I guess "your mileage may vary" is the phrase of the day with these.

    Are there any extra mags available for these? Have had a DA 762 for years with only the two standard mags. Would love some extra mags and ditto on the slimmer grips! Please let me know I searched on your site with no luck. Thanks
