Assuming JHPs for both, which would you rather use for personal defense: 7X62X25 Tokarev or 9X18 Makarov? (And please note that I'm asking for opinions on these two calibers only. )
I'd say millions of Toks made before and during WW2 is the reason.There must be some reason the Russian mob likes the Tokarev.
What I'm kicking around is what I want to use for my "truck gun".
Assuming JHPs for both,
More food for thought!No question, the 7.62x25.
I am a 9x18 fan. I have fourteen 9x18 Makarovs, a 9x18 CZ82, a 9x18 CZ83 and a 9x18 PA63, but the 9x18 round isn't the best vehicle gun because of it's lack of penetration in a low power round.
I want penetration in a vehicle gun. I want the bullet to be able to penetrate the metal of a vehicle and the person inside.
The 9x18 probably won't.
The 7.62x25 probably will.
