Tokarev TT-33
7.62x25mm

The TT-33 was the first semi-automatic pistol adopted by the Soviet Union, to replace the M1895 Revolver in 1933. It is based on the design of the Browning 1911, simplified for production, and was designed by the famous Russian arms developer, Fedor Tokarev. Russian production ceased with the adoption of the Makarov pistol in 1952 (although it continued to be used well into the '70s by the Soviets, and longer by other nations). Later models added a safety, and some nations (notably China), produced it for export in 9mm. It is single action, and is fed from a 8 round magazine. This pistol was manufactured in 1945 in Russia.
