I found 7,62x25 Tokarev interesting round; quite hot and flat shooting, but handgun selection is mediocre. Tokarev style pistols are IMO awkward, in many cases quality is questionable, and cannot be carried with round in the chamber. Firing pin is not inertia type, and if gun dropped on hammer (with hammer down), it WILL fire. There is also CZ 52 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CZ_52 , but is available as a military surplus only. Lately, Sig clone Norinco NP762 https://www.gotenda.com/shop/firearms/handguns/norinco-np762-4-5-pistol-7-62x25-tokarev/ became available, but, as far as I know, except in Canada, it is a hassle, if not impossible, to get it in USA and Europe. Yes, I am aware of barrels for 1911, but I am also aware of problem loading Tokarev round in 38 Super magazine.
Having preference for revolver, especially in stainless, and with introduction of 327 Federal, I started thinking why not 7,62x25 Tokarev in a nice revolver. I know about problems with bottle neck cartridges in revolvers (22 Jet and 357/44 B&D), but, I found that Alfa had shown revolver chambered in 7,62x25 Tokarev, on IWA 2019 https://scontent-vie1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/53509534_2525501054146676_1950950978236710912_o.jpg?_nc_cat=105&_nc_ohc=qIWMYpnJcNMAX-UyH95&_nc_ht=scontent-vie1-1.xx&oh=a21ff4e82a026cd2c46633d24224fa6e&oe=5EC4D1C1 .

Well, if Alfa can make it in full size 357 frame, why not in much more suitable Ruger SP101? Later one is plenty strong even for 357 magnum, it's available in rimless 9x19mm Parabellum, and if Ruger could make SP101 7,62x25 Tokarev like Match Champion, it will be on the top of my list.
