M1 Carbine does have more range and power than 7.62mm Tokarev (though 7.62mm Tokarev certainly isn't a weak pistol cartridge, from a longer subgun barrel it's pretty spiffy). However, the PPS-43 has a much better magazine with more than twice the capacity of original M1 magazines, and still more than the M2's stendos.
