The Korovin pistol (Пистолет Коровина, Тульский Коровин (ТК), GAU Index 56-A-112) is regarded as the first Soviet semi-automatic pistol. ==History== Sergey Korovin designed the first 7.65 mm calibre military pistol around 1922, while working at the famous Tula arms factory TOZ. However, this model proved too complex and difficult. But in 1925 the sport society ''Dinamo'' placed an order for a 6.35 mm pocket pistol for sports and civic needs. By 1926, Korovin completed development of a model, and at the end of that year, TOZ began its release. The following year the gun was approved for use, having received the official title of «Pistol TK Model 1926». The gun was not intended for the army, and it was considered a "civilian weapon". It was used by NKVD operatives, militsiya, senior officers of the Red Army〔"''пистолет Коровина быстро завоевал популярность, причем наряду с чекистами и милиционерами он также получил определённое распространение среди старшего и среднего командного состава Красной Армии.''"

TKs were often used as gifts or awards. Some TK pistols remained in Sberkassa offices even after the end of the Great Patriotic War〔Алексей Клишин.
