I'm wanting to buy the parts to convert my Tokarev to 9mm. However, I'm confused as to whether you actually have to replace the magazine with a 9mm model. As near as I can tell, a 9mm round will fit quite well in the original 7.62x25 magazines, and since the feed lips are in the hammer assembly rather than the magazine it really shouldn't matter. I don't have a 9x19 round laying around to test it with, but I was able to fit a 9x18 round in the magazine perfectly. Can anyone tell me, definitively, whether or not the original 7.62x25 magazine will work properly with the 9mm rounds?
