Tokarev TT-33
In the early 1930s, the Soviet Union began developing a new pistol to replace the outdated Nagant M1895. The result was the Tokarev TT-33, a semi-automatic pistol chambered in 7.62x25mm. The TT-33 was widely used by the Red Army during World War II and the Korean War, and it remained in service until the late 1950s.
