The Russian TT30 and TT33 were semi-automatic pistols developed to replace the old Model 1895 Nagant revolver. They were designed by Fedor Tokarev and were in production from 1930-1955. The 7.62x25mm Tokarev cartridge is very similar to the 7.63x25mm Mauser aka 30 Mauser, but has a higher muzzle velocity. The muzzle velocity for an 85 gr 7.62 Tok projectile is about 1,630 fps.
The M57 is a historically similar Yugo version of the TT-33. The difference is mainly in the magazine well, which is longer.
In this video we test out a Yugoslavian M57 against some one inch pine wood blocks. This measures penetration without the need for ballistics gel. The bullet is also easily recoverable.
