For lovers of traumatic weapons, manufacturers until 2012 regularly announced new designs. However, in accordance with amendments to the legislation, manufacturers of traumatic shooting products are prohibited from designing and releasing new models. Already existing "injuries" are allowed for sales. One of them is the TTK traumatic pistol from AKBS. There is an assumption that "trauma" is a shortened version of TT. Judging by the reviews, many consumers associate it with the legendary TT pistol. You will find information about the device, TTK characteristics and consumer reviews in the article.
About options for "injury" of AKBS
The manufacturer has designed three options for the TTK pistol:
- The first one was completely developed on the basis of the Tulsky-Tokarev firearm. "Travmat" is a shortened model, in which the manufacturer tried to maintain an external resemblance to the combat counterpart. howexperts say that the developers used this version to test all the technologies that they planned to introduce into the final version of the TTK pistol.
- In the second version, the handle was copied from the real TT. The “injury” itself was created from scratch.
- The third option is characterized by a modified handle, which, according to the manufacturer, is more comfortable.
In 2012, a weapons exhibition was held in Germany, at which the AKBS exhibited "injuries" of the second and third versions. An overview of the TTK pistol is below.
Description
Developing the TTK, the designers tried to create not only high-quality and reliable traumatic weapons, but also quite beautiful. The “trauma” was designed on the basis of the old combat pistol TT.
Judging by the numerous reviews of the owners, the self-defense rifle units turned out with a modern and spectacular design. There are no unnecessary parts in the body. The TTK pistol is a clear example of the fact that not only quality, but also appearance is important for an “injury”. By using weapon steel in the production of all components for the TTK, the manufacturer managed to improve the quality and service life of the product. In order for the rifle unit to be certified as traumatic, the designers had to equip it with a frame, bolt, barrel and recoil spring guides, completely made from scratch. All other parts are borrowed from the real TT.
Sights presentedunregulated entirely and front sight. The peculiarity of the sighting mechanism is that it excludes rapid shooting at close range. The trigger guard is equipped with a special latch, with the help of which the clip is quickly removed.
How does it work?
The TTK used an automation scheme that provides for recoil with a free shutter. In the "trauma" there is no fuse. The barrel is removable, which is not typical for most traumatic pistols. A weapon with a smooth bore, equipped with a single pin, with a spring-loaded inertial-type firing pin. Even if there is ammunition in the chamber, the trigger can be moved forward to the extreme position.
However, if there is a cartridge, the striker will not interact with the primer. The location of the slide delay was the left side of the pistol frame. The locking sleeve is missing. The gate disconnector is equipped with a reshaped notch, making the whole automatic system work smoothly.
About ammunition
Shooting from the TTK is carried out with 10x32 cartridges. According to experts, their appearance was a breakthrough in the production of ammunition. The length of the caliber is as close as possible to the combat charge, which had a positive effect on the increase in the power allowed by the law. In 2012, due to bans on the production of new traumatic rifle units, restrictions also affected cartridges. AKBS designers considered two options for cartridges. It was originally planned to use 9 mm RA for the TTK. However, gunsmiths soon decidedto produce cartridges for his traumatic pistol on his own. It is for this reason that TTK owners will not be able to acquire charges from other manufacturers. Judging by the reviews, this is not a problem, since 10x32 are available in every gun shop. Good quality and reasonable price explain the high demand for these charges among fans of traumatic weapons.
On virtues
According to experts, the TTK has all the qualities necessary for a "trauma". Due to the fact that the non-combat model is much shorter and thinner than the real TT, it can be carried discreetly. There are no protruding parts in the body, so the TTK does not cling to clothes. Judging by the reviews of the owners, the "injury" is very convenient to maintain.
An important advantage of this rifle unit is its low price: a TTK 10x32 pistol can be purchased for 35 thousand rubles.
About shortcomings
According to experts, the combat TT handle is not suitable for comfortable use. Its main disadvantage lies in the tilt at a right angle, due to which it is impossible to shoot offhand from a pistol, since the barrel channel will be lower than the target. Given this fact, experts recommend that the owners of these "injuries" practice at the training ground: for the effective use of pistols with a similar design feature, you need to have the appropriate skills.
Judging by the reviews of the owners, the TTK is equipped with an inconvenient slide stop lever. strivingeliminate the “injury” clinging to clothes, the lever was made too small. However, you can get used to this feature over time. The trigger is also not very comfortable, as it does not have a smooth action.
