This must be one awesome handgun/cartridge. Fit and finish appear to be remarkable. Can anybody share some first hand w/ me? Thanks.

    Is a really fast round. also known as the 30 tokarev. It is a 85 gr bullet at somewhere around 1650 fps. Some say it's to fast for the size bullet. Over penetrates.

    I've chrono'ed it a 1760fps. they should be inexpensively priced $200 as it seems like some new specimens have surfaced. After about 2500rd. you will have to change the trigger houising group, which slips in and out as a single piece for around $30. I have fired those 2500 and NEVER had a failure to function. With a hollow point or frangible bullet it should be awesome. I believe Glaser makes a rd for it. It is also easily concealed or carried due to it's thickness.
