The 'slim grips?' Where can I get some? You must be talking about the original Tokarev grips, correct? I understand that the plastic grips with the thumb rest on the Polish Tokarevs aren't original and were added along with the safety retrofit.
Interesting idea there about shooting it without any grips at all, I hadn't thought of that. Sure makes an already very flat gun even flatter!
I did pick up a 9mm barrel a while ago, figured having it would add quite a bit to the pistol's versatility. Now I'm wondering if anyone is making new 7.62x25 barrels. I figured if anyone would know it'd be you, since I know you like experimenting with hot loads.
Btw, I came up with a simple system to keep from chambering a 9mm round in the 7.62x25 barrel, the results of which would be severely unpleasant since a 9mm bullet will not be going down a 30 caliber tube. I have equal numbers of magazines both with and without the lanyard loop on the base plate. I put a split keyring in all of the mags with loops and use those strictly for 7.62x25 and use the ones without loops for 9mm.
