Советские Послевоенные ТТ

Until now, the TT pistol of post-war production is in service with parts of the VOKHR and irregular formations of some CIS countries. The resource of these pistols, produced in the forties and fifties, has long been exhausted, so they are extremely unreliable. A common defect is cartridge misalignment and sticking.

Previously, regular army pistols were used for sports shooting, since, according to the terms of the competition, it was not allowed to make constructive changes and improvements. On the basis of the TT pistol, designer Tokarev together with designer Sevryugin in the fifties created two models of sports pistols: R-3 and R-4. The P-3 pistol had a free breechblock and fired with 5.6 mm cartridges; for the P-4 model, an attachment holster was developed - a butt, which was attached to the rear of the handle. In most cases, the shooters "adjusted" to the force on the trigger, which is allowed by the rules of the competition, equal to one and a half kilograms.

The use of a stock when firing from the R-4 allows for a sufficiently high fire efficiency at distances significantly exceeding the usual 25-50 meters provided for personal weapons.

TT has become widespread in foreign countries. In the early nineties, this pistol returned home again: thousands of TTs, mainly of Chinese production, flooded into the Russian arms market. TT is alive and needs attention.
