Developed in the 1920s, issued to the Russian troops in the 1930s, this pistol is a simplified and strengthened Colt design, eliminating all safeties except half cock. Outstanding for its simplicity and therefore ease of manufacture, it is chambered for the Russian 7.62 mm, which is interchangeable with the German 7.63mm. Made at the Tula Arsenal through the mid 1950s, it was also at least partially made in China as the Shiki 51. Also made in Poland in large quantities, with a serial number preceded by a letter from A to K. Pistol was also prominent in East Germany and Hungary.
