Geez guys..I swear If I killed an elephant with the dang thing somebody would say it was unimpressive.  Im only trying to pass on knowledge here(HELLO, McFLY!!!whack whack wack)
I killed a vest that cost me 800.00 four years ago...I dont see anybody else doing this to futher the knowledge base on here. What I found out shocked me..I didnt think it would do this either and now we all know. base line was that a level 2 (not 2A) was zero protection from this and would have killed the shit out of the guy wearing it...unimpressive or not.

Guys 7.62x25 does have penetration due to small cross section and reasonably high velocity, just like 7.63 mauser...which was also known to be a penetrator....what it dont have is "stopping" power in the FMJ.......as much as folks rag on .30M1 Carbine with FMJ not being a stopper...this is the same diameter bullet weighing 86gr to the M1's 110gr and doing 1600fps(ish) to the carbines 1980fps. you have to have an expanding bullet to increase energy transfer in the 7.62 (it makes night and day performance difference in .30M1) If you want one by all means buy it as a plinker, but no new stuff is forthcoming as the commies have tossed this one to the dustbin of history. So please dont think you have found a sleeper do all end all......its capabilities good and bad are well noted in the history books and everyone aside from american civilian shooters who can get them dirt cheap has moved on to other things.

Theres a small cult following to the CZ-52 which continues to develop products for it. One example is Makarov.com which offers new replacement parts as well as 9mm conversion barrels. Alot of handloaders tinker with different load outs as well.
I will agree that its ability to penetrate doesnt lend well to knockdown power. Simply solution there is to buy hollowpoint rounds. Available at reedsammo.com, actually reedsammo carries all kinds of ammo for the CZ and is (was?) working on a .22 Reed Express barrel as well.

But I will agree, the gun isnt a popular one by any stretch anymore. I bought one for the penetration abilities as I could flip flop FMJ's and HP's, giving me pretty much assured protection against whatever decided to wander through my door. It has quirks, it needs a bit of TLC. They rather remind me of what I hear about Cetme's, some run fantastic and some need a bit of tinkering (Nothing to the extent a Cetme does though!). But I also plan on getting a 57 as its a current model production weapon, and I shouldnt have to worry about the little things I do with the CZ (Such as a barrel thats a touch too big)

Why is this post constantly reminding me of the PPSh and Tokarev?

Come to think of it… A P90 in 7.62x25! shweet



Russia has/had a small full auto pistol with a folding buttstock that shoots 7.62x25 dont they?  I think the only problem with it was its accuracy and knockdown power, about on par with a Tec-9 with less stopping power than a 9mm round.



The 7.62 is fairly accurate and has energy that puts it right around a .357. It also has excellent penetration, and if you think your going against a very hardened target you can hand load sabots with .22 caliber bullets to give you even more oomph at the business end. Its a very good round, its just not available in many guns. I picked up a CZ-52 for the very reasons listed. Excellent penetration and excellent stopping power in a round thats roughly the physical size of the 9x19mm.

I'm not gonna read 8 pages, but I will post what I have done with the 5.7.

Earlier this year, we tested the 5.7 IOM on a LIIA test panel with a ballistic dummy (rated to 44 mag) behind it, with a cardboard IPSC target behind it to find the exit.

The 5.7 went through the vest, yawed and tumbled in the dummy, and blew out a quarter sized piece of the IPSC target down and left from the entry hole.

Pretty impressive.

Not to be a smartass, but how many LEOs run across a gang banger thug with an $800 pistol carried Mexican syle in his pants on a daily basis?

I really don't think these guys are studing ballistics or they would all be packing CZ-52s.  Can you think of a better handgun to use when you have to consider penetrating car bodies and vests?

First of all, I like high velocity pistol rounds. Personal interest.

Now, is there any 7.62x25mm new pistols around? No ComBloc relic. I want a modern gun in this caliber. Why 5.7 when we got this? Don't get me wrong, I want to get a 5.7, preferably a P90 but the 7.62 seems a better choice since it can behave depending on what you load on it like a normal HP round or AP round.

In any case... any of you know where to get 7.62 in a modern handgun? I'll settle for a conversion I guess.

This would be way-cool but they would have to make it in the US (I think). I live in MA and since there are no preban magazines I could not be able to have one unless I modified the magazines to hold 10 rounds. I could put blocks in them and it would need a muzzle brake rather than a flash suppressor. Man these laws are gay.

Winston, they are darn good shooters, the only problem you might have is if you have small hands..if a Beretta 92 feels ok then it will work. But even so, the recoil is so mild its not going to be a real big detriment to your ability to shoot it. It double taps like nothing else..short of a comped race gun.

well the SFS is installed on a MKIII, and you can with SFS..carry cocked and locked like regular, or chamber a round(hammer will be in the cocked position) push hammer forward to the quarter cock notch, and that automatically ingages the safety and locks the slide. when you push the safety down, the hammer flys back to the cocked position and is ready to fire.  The Daewoo DP51 issued to the south Korean army works in the same manner.   My pistol is the standard MKIII....the SFS parts can be added and the "Cylinder&slide shop" does carry the kit/install. here is a pic of the other side of my pistol. www.cylinder-slide.com/sfs.shtml    they have SFS  Kits for M1911's as well

Actually the tip is lead. We had some 1/8" diamond plate steel that this ammo made holes in without any problems. We tried the 115 gr. FMJ 9mm and it would just dent the steel. Not really sure how it is made up but it does go through things other cannot.

Regardless of its killing potential, it shares the same round as the P90 (a beretta M9 does not share the same round as a M4/M16 obviously), it is lighter than most 9mm pistols loaded, more accurate, has a better trigger, and easier to shoot than just about any military sidearm chambered in 9mm.

 Regarding the Bladetech Holster, apparently they make it for the version without the rail. With any luck they will make one soon. I have the one with a Rail. (IOM)

 I find it interesting that the people who disregard this round look at other peoples post which agree with them and do not look at your Photos. I have to say that I have shot quite a few wet phone books and newspapers over the years and the damage from this round looks about as bad as any 9mm, .357 sig or. 45.  

 I wonder which would stop a fight quicker? Blunt trauma from a 9mm, .40, .357, .45 impacting on a bad guys BP vest OR a 5.7 which has actually gone through the vest and bad guys lung!  Yes it is kind of specialized but when you need a table saw you don't need a drill press. I bet as time goes by more of these will show up in use with the Police and it will perform about the same as any handgun round. It may perform better as You actually have to hit you target for the bullet to have effect. Prehaps with Lower recoil, the cops hit ratios will go up!

I Know, not all cops are bad shots!!

 I will get my ammo next week and With any luck I may be able to come up with a IIIA vest to poke holes in. I will post my results.  I think the IIIA is rated higher than a IIA>

R71, I have an IOM as well...(there are no 57's without a rail)..and I have a blade tech holster. who ever you are talking to is giving you bad info.  vests go in order L1(old nylon M1952 flak jackets and such) IIA, II, IIIA,III, and then IV(rifle)
To a degree you are correct, blunt trauma alone will not bring a quick resolution to hostilities from normal service pistol type bullets....North Hollywood shoot out...that one BG took over 23 hits to the soft body armor as an example. things that make you bleed and put holes in your brain though a kevlar helmet...or heart through a vest make it hard to go to work the next day however.

   So I bought a Five Seven. I like the way it feels, I have two HK USP's, a 45 full size and 357 SIG compact. To me the grip feels like my .45 only thinner. I like the adjustable sights. I have some ammo on order and hopefully I will be shooting this thing next week. I have a Cronograph so it will be interesting to see what the real world velocity is. I do not think that this round is an under performer as some would say and it is not the best either.
 Who has a Holster? I emailed both Fobus and Bladetech, and they don't make them.  Bladetech must be getting calls about it becuase they referred to a phone call that they received. Maybe if we flood them with e-mail they will get on it! I like the Kydex and prefer a paddle type holster.

A semi auto P90 would be a neat companion gun. Kind of like a modern day Colt/Winchester thing.

 I am not holding my breath on the AWB sunset though. When the congress gets back they will be under pressure to get the homeland security stuff going. It would be just like them to sneak something through attached to a Homeland sec. bill. You just can't trust those people once they have been in DC for a while!

Exactly. I dont know why LEO's are so afraid when this ability in a handgun has been available for a long time and is MUCH, MUCH cheaper.

Also would like to add that a 30. Cal carbine round will go through 2 layers of kevlar IIIA at close range. What I mean by layers is that it will go through the front of the vest and out the back! I was just curious to find out and did a similar test myself. The bullet stopped in the third layer of kevlar and I still have it today. It mushroomed out nicely.

Jeeper21  another sleeper "kevlar cutter" was a ruger blackhawk 7.5" .30M1 carbine chambering
and by that token..a AMT automag III in .30M1.  Back on page 6 of this post we shot my panel with plain ol norinco 7.62x25....went right through..though it stopped .357mag/.44mag./.45winmag.
they can build a vest to stop just about anything that is antisipated , but by the same token they can build something to shoot through any specific vest.   There is only so much of this crap you can stagger around with on, on a given day. Remember blackhawk down where they got caught short by removing thier ceramic plates for more mobility? Most armor wearers dont wear IIIA or III vests(much less 30lbs+ IV vests) IIA is the most common by the numbers followed by II's for those that have to wear every day. then you put on heavier stuff(if you have it) when the poop hits the fan and you have some bit of warning. the most common threats on the street in the U.S. is not hard to design a vest to stop  .38spec/.357 9mm/.40S&W.....and you can live with the vest on a daily basis as not being too hot/stiff to wear.    Even W illiam Fairbarn, when he was over the flying squad of the Hong Hong Police in the 30's lamented about those damn 7.63 mauser broomhandles and the penetration they had(though a little light on the ability to down someone quickly) They had two crude bullet proof vest types made for the Hong Kong police......regular...and Mauser proof!
Fairbarn introduced "modern" gunfighting (and the M1911 .45) to that force and soon they began to win gunfights far more often than not.
So we have had to deal with .30 high velocity pistols for quite some time...and its not a problem that goes away, though not common( you are more to encounter 7.62x25 in the hands of a gun enthusiest rather than a crip or blood) for one thing they just use what they can get, or what is cool.
and a CZ52 isnt as cool to them as a wonder 9 or a .40 of the latest type.....or Hi Point. also factor in they dont wear shooting muffs(ouch that Tok is a loud mutha lol) so that takes some of the fun out.

hits the market.  its not going to look too funny(not as bad as an HK94 anyway) as they are only going to have to add 5.8" to the barrel, or a bit over 3 inches if they permanately mount the flash supressor.
