Do you think they will catch on with US manufacturers?
The russian rifle calibers (most notably the 7.62X39) have become more and more popular in this country over the last several years. Now there are even US made guns being chambered for them.
Do you think something similar will happen with russian handgun rounds?
7.62 Nagant:
Proably not going to go anywhere. It's just too weird.
7.62X25 Tok:
Cool caliber, I'd love to see new guns chambered for it. I think the main things holding it back are, A: it's really long for an auto caliber, and B: the .357 sig is based on the same concept and is more common (not to mention more "powerful"), therefore people would probably buy a .357 sig over a 7.62X25
9X18/9mm Makarov:
This one has the best chance of becoming more popular in the USA, IMHO. It could be chambered in really small autos and packs more punch than .380 ACP. I'm not a kel-tec fan, but I bet something like a 9mm Mak version of the P-3AT would have alot of advantages, and be very popular.
