The spec for .45 ACP COL is 1.275". Spec for 7.62x45 Tokarev is 1.386" with a round-nose bullet. The fore-to-aft dimension of the magazine body is 1.372-.006 at the exterior. That makes the minimum in-spec dimension 1.366" less the metal thickness. So, yes, the Tokarev round is slightly too long, but should work with hollow point or flat-point bullets.
Interesting. Thanks.
