We used to buy 5x that much in one go, just for the AR's

more than 1000? Hell, 2 bulk packs of 22 is more than that.

10 cents a round? I didn't realize it was that cheap. It's still surplus and may not run well in guns that aren't surplus as well. 9mm is also roughly 20 cents a round, and you now have the most common cartridge on the planet and dozens upon dozens of different loads to use. If you want to pinch pennies, buy a Glock 17 and get a .22 conversion kit. Or just buy a .22 pistol to begin with. A current production gun in a cartridge like 7.62 Tok is just counterproductive.

That's weak about ammunition in NY. I've had more than a thousand rounds on more than one occasion, and it wasn't that much, most of it was .22 ammo. Guess that makes me a violent crazy murderer, at least in New York's eyes. Oregon represent!

Well, except for the fact that 7.62mm Tokarev pushes a bullet to 1700 FPS and will penetrate soft body armor. The round has excellent killing power in general, and as far as I'm concerned is the best military handgun chambering ever made. I'd have carried my Tokarev in Afghanistan if they'd let me!

I looked up the 1700 FPS and goddamn, I knew they were hot but not that hot. I still think I'd rather have a 9mm or .45 but that is definitely worth noting.

The tokarev is just availible with cheap ammo and has a cool muzzle blast, i want it as a recreational gun (i wouldnt use it for sel defense due to the lack of quality defensive ammo.)

An polymer framed 1911 style pistol with an internal safety and single action hammer, mag capacity would be 17 rounds of 9mm. It would also be fitted with a dual recoil spring.

I'm the one who suggested the modern pistol in 7.62 Tok, and I thought someone who wanted to enjoy cheap, powerful ammunition shouldn't have to settle for a gun designed in the thirties and built to communist-bloc standards.

Okay, I didn't think about what would happen when the supply of cheap surplus ammo would dry up, but it'll be fun while it lasts.

I'd also like to see someone like RIA bring back the Colt 1903/1908 Pocket Hammerless. And maybe even update it to 9x19mm. It's a nice and elegant CC pistol, one that doesn't look all plastic-y.

Naw, you know who should bring them back? Colt. They make some of the dumbest decisions with regard to their civilian sales and bringing back any of their old pistols would be a step in the right direction.
