The TT-30,[lower-alpha 1] commonly known simply as the Tokarev, is a Soviet semi-automatic pistol. It was developed during the late 1920s by Fedor Tokarev as a service pistol for the Soviet Armed Forces and based on the earlier pistol designs of John Moses Browning, albeit with a number of detail modifications to simplify production and maintenance.[2] The Soviet Union ceased production of the TT in 1954, although derivatives of the pistol continued to be manufactured for many years in the People's Republic of China and a number of nations aligned with the Soviet bloc.[2]
