It looks like 32-20 on paper, just with less penetration, and sized to a smaller envelope.

The same way China, Vietnam, several countries in Eastern Europe, and several small Pacific Islands did. Also the way that people in Latin America did when converting to 9 Largo. And the way some Northern European countries did with 9x21, and 9x23. Also the way competition shooters do with the 38 Super.Just how will you get the 'physics' right to be reliable with that caliber on 1911 platform??? Recoil impulse of a 7.62x25 is totally different than a 45 acp in both amount and time.

I got to examine a Colt-arev a few years ago, brought back from Vietnam (one of 4 Colt-"inspired" guns this guy had on display at the gun show). Mechanically it looked like they did not do much. It had a homemade spring, a barrel cut down from who-knows-what of similar outside diameter to the original 1911 barrel, and a modified barrel linkage. The mag was homemade, and had a Tokarev spring and follower, and seemed to have been made from some sort of ration can.
The other 3 he had were;
a cast iron, two-piece, single shot that seem to have been made from a mold of a 1911,
A 1911 frame and slide that had been gutted, and turned into a blow-back with a fixed barrel, but the mag was missing,
A gun built from the ground up as a passable, but crude 1911, that with the exception of the slide and frame contained all Tokarev parts,
they were all in 7.62x25

Nah. If you're older than 40 you've already outlived 143 (at last count) "wonder cartridges", and you can probably add another 20 for every decade beyond that. Heck, if someone is as old as Biden you can probably add a couple of zeroes to that, because WWII was a mass extinction event for literally thousands of calibers.

The 1935s; A proto-SIG in a more fun caliber. Everytime I get one at the shop I have to talk myself out of it, and it gets harder to do so each time.if it makes you feel any better.
how's about just jacking the pressure up on something old?
