Magazine question
I had a friend who passed away in October of 2011. His widow recently called me and asked if I would come and get his firearms as she didn't want them around and she knew of two that he had that she could no longer find. She is suspicious of a handyman who had been working in her house.
One of them is a 7.62x25 pistol. At first I thought it was a Tokarov (sp?) but now I don't know. It looks identical to one, but I have yet to find a manufacturers name on it. On the top of the slide, it has a chinese marking on it. On the left rear side of the slide, it has a serial number followed by "1967".
The gun is in excellent condition but does not have a magazine. Other than finding someone locally (rural Arkansas) to help me, how can I tell exactly what this gun is and what magazine I need to find?
Any info very much appreciated.

One of my stocking stuffers this year for Xmas was a 9 round mag for my m21a Beretta pistol. Tonight I finally got out to the range to test it out. First clip I had 2 feed problems (rounds never chambered and were at a 45 degree angle to the barrel). The last round always seemed to jam and from one to nine it was any random one. I don't have the heart to tell my father the thing is a piece of crap so I can't return it. When I compared it to the factory mag (7round) it seemed like the aftermarket's spring had alot less tension. Being a youngin and not knowing is it possible for me to cut back the spring and try to make this thing work or should I do what ever other "honest" person does and sell it on Ebay [:D]? Any help would appreciated. Thanks. 0 -
Yes, they sure will, as long as they are for the 9mm.

Generally, yes but there may be specific mags which aren't compatable. I have several MecGar P85 mags that work in P89,P95, and PC9 carbine while other brands may not work in all 3 guns. You'll just have to try them to make sure.
Most of the problems I've found were related to the latch notch. Some mags would not fully lock in and would release when a round was fired.0
