Чехословацкий ТТ

The first Czechoslovak model, a copy of the Soviet TT, which was in service with the army, was the M57 pistol, although the most original development chambered for 7.62x25mm was the Czechoslovak Model 52 of the Zbroevka Brno plant, which was in service with the army and police until the mid-seventies. when it was replaced by PP "Scorpio". A small number of these pistols periodically entered the Western market during the "Prague Spring" and during the "relaxation of international tension."

The 43-52 pistol bears little resemblance to the TT, they are united by the used cartridge. Since the design of weapons is based on ammunition, the 43-52 pistol is to some extent a "twin" of the TT pistol, which could have been born back in the thirties in the USSR, if Tokarev had gone the other way. The peculiarity of this pistol was the use of the principle of locking the bore of the German MG-42 machine gun. The interaction of the pistol barrel and the bolt is carried out using two rollers.
