I am thinking of getting a TT-33, I've fired a few of them, but I only have a basic knowledge of them, I know they come in 9mm, but its not Russia, besides that I can not really tell the difference between then, also 7.62x25 or 9mm? That being asked I already own a Beretta 92.
thinking of a tokarev

is this really a concern? i thought there were a few manufacturers out there, plus all the surplus that's floating around. maybe someone can clarify.

i piced one up from sfrc a few weeks ago, had it to the range last week. it's a nice shooting pistol.
you definately feel it when it shoots.
check out this video, if you haven't already:
they guys is a crack shot, and does a nice job on the tokarev review.

IMHO it's a great time to buy a Tok, you can go Russian with some history pre-war, wartime or post war production, or grab one of the Polish unissued mid 50's production Tokarevs for a basically new 55 year old pistol.
If you do some searching here on cgn you'll find a thread with a youtube tutorial on how to resize and shape 5.56 brass into 7.62x25 for reloading.

It is not that difficult to get one chambered in 9 mm....Look for a Norinco 213.. Norinco 54-1....usually comes with both barrels ..7.62X25 and 9mm at least the one I bought did....the Tokagypt and the Hungarian Super 12....all in 9 mm or just buy a 9mm conversion barrel and a mag ...however you will pay more for the 9mm barrel and mag than you paid for the TT-33
I love Hickok's reviews. He doesn't seem like some ####### redneck that's in it for the sponsorships.
And yes, he's hitting that gong at 80yds with that bloody thing. He's a good shot.
If you're looking at TT's you might also want to check out the Norinco Type 54, it's a TT-33 clone chambered in the original 7.62x25, but at least you have a manufacturer to work with if there's a problem.
Couple guys at the range on saturday let me shoot theirs. I bought one from the same shop in the city as they did later that day 
Might have been a buck or two cheaper from an out of province seller, but I got to pick a nice one rather than one with a ding or patch of rust on the slide, as some had.
Plus it's nice to support a new local business.

This is the video that sold me on the Tokarev...If Bill Hickok likes it, its a decent firearm
With the amount of guns being sold lately chambered in 7.62x25, I don`t think that is a problem we`ll have to worry about.
If you reload, ammo won't ever be a problem. The non surplus ammo I have purchased have all had re-loadable brass. I have purchased non surplus manufactured by Winchester, Prvi Partiizan and Sellier and Bellot. Starline also makes brass for this calibre.
go to u tube ,converting 223 brass to 7.62x25 . u will never run out . it uses boxer primer =non corrosive . i use cast bullets out of wheel weights . it cheaper than mil surplus . lee makes the dies and bullet mold i think the mold is a 32 cal -311 . me and my buddy been that converted bass with no problems . he won't even look at the mil surplus becase he too lazy too clean his gun every time he shoots . haha that sounds like me tooo
