TT pistol's full name is Tula tokarev pistol, and the most memorable thing is that the Soviet political commissar took him to the front. So before he became a Soviet pistol, there were two main types of pistols used in Russia. One is his own Nagan M 1895 runner, and the other is a box gun.
Vienna is also a user of Mauser C96 (China is not the only one who likes to use it). Especially after World War I, the Red and White Army purchased the short-tube M 192 1 from Mao Se, which was originally customized for the French police. Later, it became famous because it was widely used in the Russian civil war, and it was also called Boluo style.
This gun is also of great significance in China. It is the Boluo style used by Mr. Zhu during the Nanchang Uprising, and it is also called "Three Boxes" in China.
After the founding of the Soviet Union, the demand for a new type of semi-automatic pistol is increasing day by day. Due to the extensive use of C96 7.63×25mm Mao Se pistol bullets, tokarev of Tula Arsenal improved the 7.62× 25mm tokarev bullets. Ah, isn't this copied? His Mao Se was not original either, but it was improved from Bocha's 7.65× 25mm
Finally, the Soviets finalized the 7.62× 25mm tokarev pistol. Who should copy the gun? Uh, no, how to design it? Who should be the king of semi-automatic pistol in the first two decades of the 20th century? It should be browning! So tokarev decided to start with M 19 1 1 and use m191to do only three things: simplification, simplification or simplification.
Although the shape of tokarev pistol is close to FN's M 1903, M 1903 is a freestyle pistol. The working principle of tokarev pistol is M 19 1 1, which is also the principle of short recoil and barrel lock.
Tokarev integrated the single hammer, the single-shot rod and the resistance iron into an assembly, removed the hammer guide rod extending into the grip, simplified the hammer spring into a short section and put it into the hammer.
Then remove the handle safety, even manual safety! That's too much. How can we ensure safety? TT pistol has only one and a half waiting slots as insurance. If you want to turn off the safety when there are bullets in the gun chamber, you must hold down the hammer, pull the trigger, slowly put the hammer back and get stuck in the semi-waiting slot. Pull the trigger at this time and you won't fire. When you want to shoot, press the hammer and then pull the trigger. This process was mentioned in the animation Detective Conan.
Therefore, TT pistols generally have an empty chamber with a bullet in it. Even if the safety is turned off, the hammer is still in danger of being scratched. This is the first edition of tokarev pistol, officially finalized in 1930, named TT30 pistol.
TT30 is quite successful in simplifying M 19 1 1. On the premise of quality and quantity, it is convenient for production and maintenance to the maximum extent. This may be the wisdom of the fighting nation. Then tokarev made many optimizations, such as increasing the contact surface of iron resistance and removing the cover behind the grip. This is a TT33 pistol that was officially mass-produced in 1934.
Later, mass production became famous, and the shortcomings of TT pistol were obvious. Insurance is a problem, but as long as it is carried empty, there is no problem. Another is that the grip is relatively straight, the angle is small, and the directivity is not good enough, which is also because of the bullet.
These problems did not affect his galloping on the battlefield at all. It was not until 1952 that it was gradually replaced by a new generation of 9× 18mm makarov PM pistol. One reason is that it is too big, and the other reason is that the bullet of 7.62× 25mm tokarev pistol has strong penetrating power, and the stopping effect is not enough.
Although the Soviet Union eliminated it, other countries in the world are still copying this classic CCCP pistol. For example, China copied the 5 1 pistol from the early 1950s, and later got the drawings of TT pistol, and then copied the 54 pistol, the famous "Big Black Star", which served for a long time. Some old policemen still have feelings for the 54 pistol.
North Korea also copied TT pistol, called Type 68 pistol. Type 68 pistol is very distinctive and has been changed a lot. From the appearance, it is not quite like TT pistol, but the shape behind the sleeve seat has been reshaped, and the interior is even more ingenious. The barrel deviation mode is not the original hinge type, but the inclined plane on Browning's powerful pistol is unlocked. Alas, you can't escape Browning's world.
