Guns you want to see made.

Oh, and a modern handgun chambered in 7.62mm Tok. Glock or SIG Sauer can't get on this?

Eh, so us Americans could get ahold of one? Trying to get an old school Russian AK in America is insanely difficult if not impossible. If we could get them, we would be shooting a piece of history every time it was fired, or at the very least it could be mounted on a wall.

Now a 7.62mm Tokarev Glock or SIG, that doesn't make sense to me. What would be the point of that?

Surplus ammo is really cheap, like 10 cents a round. It's corrosive though. But after all the surplus dried up, prices would be the same as any other round. What would be the point then. I thought about picking up a case of 1200 rounds, even though I don't currently have a pistol chambered in that round.

Without a dealer's liscense, owning more than a 1000 rounds of one type of ammunition is considered owning an arsenal, which is apparantly illegal. At least in NY anyways.

That sucks for New Yorkers. I like to keep at least 500 rounds each for most of my calibers. The only exception being .357 magnum, too costly.

I just bought a RIA 1911 in .38 Super, it comes with 900 rounds of FMJ and 250 HP. The ammo and 8 spare mags alone is worth the $650 I paid for everthing.

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

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!
