The 7.62 × 25 mm Tokarew M1930 is a Soviet pistol cartridge . It was developed in the 1920s together with the TT-30 self-loading pistol .
history
In addition to the orderly revolvers Nagant M1895 , the Red Army also used larger numbers of the self-loading pistol Mauser C96 in caliber 7.63 × 25 mm . This made Mauser ammunition widespread in the Soviet Union. Since in-house weapons and ammunition developments in the Soviet Union, as in the former tsarist empire, were based on imperial dimensions, the cartridge was adapted to common machines in the course of the development of the first Soviet self-loading pistol. The old unit line in precision engineering corresponds to 1/10 of an inch, so three lines result in a caliber of 7.62 mm.
Differences to the Mauser cartridge
The differences in dimensions to the Mauser cartridge are so small that both cartridges can be fired from the weapons intended for the other type of ammunition. However, this is not recommended.
