Pistol 9mm TT

One of the most well-known pistols of 20th century – a TT, designed by Feodor Vasilevich Tokarev in Tula, to this day widespread worldwide also is used without cardinal changes of a design. Pistols of Tokarev made now differ from Soviet basically only cheeks of the handle and presence manual safety a safety lock, without considering variants under a cartridge 9mm Luger. My short opinion concerning a TT – the pistol highly specialized, but for some problems is very good, and at times and is irreplaceable. Lacks are known for all. Low reliability of the worn out pistols. Rather fast a deposit of a fighting spring and deterioration of an earring. Stopping power of a bullet of 7,62 mm is not great. The small angle of slope of the handle does not promote accuracy of shooting snapshot. However with few used pistols of problems a minimum. Springs and earrings easily vary. Small stopping power and impracticality to instinctive shooting are compensated by shooting skills of the owner of the weapon which work enough regular trainings. The problem with a safety half-cock notch of a hammer is not especially actual for those who uses a TT in combat work, carrying a pistol in correctly picked up holster and was able with it addressing, and for constant carrying it is the weapon practically is never used.
