Why did the Soviets switch to the 9mm Makarov?

7.62x25mm: nice round if you are without a rifle or carbine. 100M it reaches with authority. There are a few stories of PPSh's being fired upon Germans at 300M with deadly and accurate results. Try 100M at with a 9x18 Makarov round.
There is a place for both rounds depending on need.
