Everything you told us about the gun TT?

This question may seem strange - indeed, if you look through our armory literature, it may give the impression that a TT pistol and his creator Feodor Vasilevich Tokarev we have full details. However, in reality things are not so simple, and in the history of the TT a lot of white spots.

Thoroughly examine the work of Fyodor Vasilyevich Tokarev I succeeded after the third year of the Faculty of weapons-machine gun Tula Mechanical Institute. Thanks to the recommendation of the Deputy Dean of the Faculty Markov, me and my roommate in the dorm Vladimir Zharikov an opportunity to earn some money at the Tula plant №536. We were in the factory museum perechistit stored there all models of small aircraft and machine-gun and cannon armament. In my collection I accounted for almost all (including the pilot) Tokarev self-loading rifles and pistols.

8 photos.





Citing the order of these samples, I could not help noticing that the former Cossack captain was an excellent craftsman and quite ingenious designer.

These qualities Tokarev supported in particular by the fact that at the end of his activity, working in the Moscow Aviation Bureau and missile A.E.Nudelmana where Fyodor Vasilyevich was given the opportunity to continue the weapons work, he chose to work on improving his panoramic camera invented FT-2. The movable lens of the camera allows you to capture up to 35 mm photographic film 36 mm in width are not, as usual, and 130 mm!



But back to the TT pistol. The main question that arises on this weapon: "What is in this sample Fedor V. made himself, and that borrowed?". The validity of this statement becomes apparent after meeting with 9mm pistols John M. Browning of the sample in 1903 Moreover, the conclusion is that TT is a pure copy of one of the models of Browning.

Moises Pistols John Browning developed on the basis of his own patent in 1897 The most common are the following examples of pistols Browning pistol sample 1900 caliber 7, 65 mm gun of the sample in 1903 and 9 mm caliber pistol caliber 1906 sample 6, 35 mm.

The latter sample is not a military-type weapons because of its small caliber. To each of these pistols both developed and cartridge. At one time was a popular classification of these models and their respective rounds numbers from one to three. The first number indicates the cartridge and gun caliber 6, 35 mm, the second caliber 7, 65 mm and 9 mm caliber third.

In large quantities Browning pistols made in Belgium at the plant «Fabrique Nationale d.Armes de Guerre SA» Herstal-Liege. Products directly Belgian distinguishes stylized abbreviation «FN» in both schёchkah plastic handle.

Guns operated by the army and police in many countries.

Model 9mm Browning pistol sample in 1903 was actively used in Russia - its armed gendarmes.

Feature 9mm "Browning" of the sample in 1903 is the inertial locking the barrel, though his patron ballistic momentum is not much inferior to 9-mm pistol cartridge "Parabellum" sample 1908 Length Browning cartridge 1, 5 mm shorter parabellumovskogo ( 28 to 29 mm, 5 mm), but longer than the sleeve 1, 3 mm (20 mm 3 to 19 mm). By now we have an entrenched practice of this cartridge is indicated by 9x20.



The gun has a smooth outer shape and location of the closed trigger, making it convenient for pocket carry. The hammer is placed inside the rear of the frame and rotates on an axis, which is the core of safety lever. Mainspring plate, placed it in the back wall of the handle and consists of two branches. Long branch acts on the hammer through the roller, which is mounted on the projection of the trigger, and the short leg abuts the jumper trigger pull. Drummer with a spring located in the housing-bolt drilling. The gate drummer held a transverse pin.

On the same axis with the trigger set block with two feathers, derived from the guide sleeve chamber. Left pen is a tooth serving reflector. The projections of both feathers bottom rests next cartridge. The block has a through-bore for the passage of the disconnector. Exactly the same feathers and a similar arrangement of reflector and dissociating we see on a removable assembly hammer trigger mechanism TT pistol.



Trigger with disconnector allows only a single fire. The descent is integral with the trigger pull, pull cover from both sides of the shop and is moving in the slot inside the frame pistol.

Rear jumper thrust acts on the sear, in the same part of the draft is uncoupler, lowering cravings and exempting it from engagement with the sear when the shutter pullback.

Protection against unauthorized shots made safety lever and an automatic safety device that releases the sear in compression pistol hand. Guard against premature firing is uncoupler that does not allow the trigger cravings affect the sear until the arrival gate in the forward position. Safety lever can be enabled by turning his head nasechёnnoy up only when the trigger cocked. When deflated the trigger guard can not be rotated, which serves as the trigger signal deflated.

With safety lever is carried out partially disassembled pistol, for which it is necessary to delay the housing-bolt so that the tooth guard went into the notch on the left side of the casing of the shutter. After that, the trunk can be turned 120 degrees and remove from the scope of the housing-bolt with the barrel, pushing them forward.

Top box-type capacity of seven rounds with their single-row arrangement. A relatively small, according to modern ideas, the number of patrons in the store to explain the desire for a compact height arms. Shop is placed inside the handle and the bottom latch is locked store. On the last bullet feeder spendable store raises tooth on the right side frame stop gate. Tooth going into recess housing-bolt, stop it in its rearmost position.



The sight is permanent, consists of wholly and flies. Are they on the housing-gate.

This arrangement gun, wherein a massive cover-gate, a capping trunk along its entire length, with the return spring under the barrel, above the barrel, or around the trunk are protected by a patent in 1897 in the name of John Browning Moises. Location removable magazine in the grip Browning borrowed from Hugo Borchardt. Since such a scheme used by many designers.

When comparing the "Browning" in 1903 with the CT first thing that catches the eye is their resemblance, but in these samples a lot of differences - quite different locking mechanisms that are substantially different udarnospuskovye mechanisms (the "Browning" trigger closed, at the TT trigger open and removable). It would seem that in such a situation to talk about a blind copy Tokarev pistol Browning is not necessary. But such assumptions still have reason to!

I have found in the weapons collection of the technical office of Tula TsKIB SOO very unusual variant "Browning" in 1903, differs from the classical retired outside trigger. We call it conditionally "Browning arr. 1903 K ».

"Browning arr. 1903 K "may be considered extremely rare model, since any domestic or foreign literature it is not described. The arms collection of the technical office of Tula TsKIB COO, where it is listed under the name "Browning" 1903 "in appearance, dimensional and weight data of this gun is quite similar to the model described above chambered for 9x20 mm, but differs from it in the device trigger mechanism , lack of circuit breaker and a lever safety mechanism.



On the housing-bolt and frame pistol is no factory marks and inscriptions there. Branding is only available on the breech of the barrel in the zone gilzovyvodnogo window.

The sample belongs to the class of weapons with the inertial locking barrel. Its trunk, return mechanism and a removable magazine for seven bullets used interchangeably with the above sample gun Browning 1903

For the partial disassembly of the sample is necessary, removing the cover-shutter and trying to turn the trunk to find the touch position when the support arms of the barrel come out of engagement with the pistol frame and enter the recess housing-bolt.

Trigger gun is a separate unit in the form of pads, which are assembled inside the trigger with his mainspring, sear with leaf spring and uncoupler. After separation of the housing-bolt assembly is separated from the frame pistol.

Externally, the machine and its components are indistinguishable from those of a TT pistol.

City Museum in the Tula weapon has experienced gun made F.V.Tokarevym, which can be considered the prototype of TT and which differs from the Browning pistol only in that it is used in 7 and 62-mm cartridge Mauzerovskogo.

Thus, it is certainly possible to speak of what was originally supposed to completely copy the TT with a rare modification Browning pistol with removable Kurkov trigger mechanism.



Mauzerovskogo Tokarev cartridge was selected only because at the end of 1920 to address Artkoma Red Army Ordnance Department at the German firm DWM (1922 Berliner Karlsruhe Industriewerke - BKIW) purchased a license to manufacture it. However, this proved to be too powerful ammunition for inertial locking. To remedy the situation Fedor V. In another embodiment, the CT applied locking bore the image of a pistol "Colt" sample in 1911 - a swinging barrel controlled earring. Note that the "Colt" of the sample in 1911 was developed by the same Colt Browning factories.

This begs the question, why Tokarev very ingenious designer went to clear up the development of such a basically simple weapons like self-loading pistol? All in the same Tula weapons museum has samples of his original self-loading rifles structurally much more complex than CT. For example, it is adopting its 1938 self-loading rifle SVT-38 completely original design. The same can be said of the Tokarev pistol models 1938
