The TT-33, commonly known simply as the Tokarev, is a Soviet semi-automatic pistol. It was developed during the late 1920s by Fedor Tokarev as a service pistol for the Soviet Armed Forces. The Soviet Union ceased production of the TT in 1954, although derivatives of the pistol continued to be manufactured for many years in the People's Republic of China and a number of nations aligned with the Soviet bloc.

HISTORY

In 1930, the Revolutionary Military Council decided to test new small arms to replace the aging Nagant M1895 revolvers. On 7 January 1931, Fedor Tokarev's pistol showed promise, leading to an order of 1,000 TT-30s for trials and subsequent adoption by the Red Army. Manufactured between 1930 and 1936, about 93,000 TT-30s were produced.

During production, the design was simplified, resulting in the TT-33. Key changes included omitting the removable hammer assembly and modifying the locking lugs. Most TT-33s were issued to commanding officers and used widely during WWII, with 1,330,000 Tokarevs produced from 1931 to 1945.

The TT-33, similar externally to John Browning's FN Model 1903, uses Browning's short recoil tilting-barrel system from the M1911 but features a simpler hammer/sear assembly. This modular unit includes machined magazine feed lips to prevent misfeeds. The TT-33, chambered for the 7.62×25mm Tokarev cartridge (based on the 7.63×25mm Mauser), is powerful with a flat trajectory, capable of penetrating thick clothing and soft body armor.
