The TT33 barrel I bought from Numrich, it fitted straight in (tight) and functions perfectly but the point of impact is much higher than the sights. Not really a problem, it ain't no match pistol anyway and at least now I can enjoy shooting it. For the Ppsh41 I bought a chambered 9mm blank for about $60 and had a local machinist profile it to match the original which was really easy to remove. The ROF has slowed down and the drum mag functions perfectly, it has never jammed.
I know the combat advantages to 7.62x25 with regard to penetration (buildings, doors, winter clothing, vehicles) and trajectory/range but in my case I just wanna blast away as cheaply as possible. The only thing cheaper than bulk 9x19 is .22LR.
