The idea of something new / good in 7.62㎜ Tokarev has been kicked around from time to time. As far as I know, no manufacturer currently makes such a pistol, nor, again AFAIK, a conversion barrel/kit. The story I've read on the intratubes is the standards, quality control, etc. of ComBloc loaded Tokarev ammunition is all over the board and no manufacturer wants to touch that liability with a ten foot pole. I do, vaguely, recall some Sterling-esque carbines and pistols made in said during the mid-2000s (neato in some ways) and there was at least one manufacturer who made conversion cylinders for Nagant revolvers (I wouldn't shoot one under almost any conditions).
So what say you; does the interwebz story hold up or not? Would you like to see something modern (e.g., a Glock, CZ-75, et al.) in said or "meh"? (Granted, the milsurp ammo supply of this ammo isn't anything like it was back in the day, but it is still an interesting cartridge.)
