Thank you. So indeed Vladimir Stolypin was the only Soviet athlete who won with the Toz-35 (62 and 66 WCH) prior to Sergei Pyzhianov (WCH86, WCF88), who happened to be the last Soviet shooter to win any major gold medals. So my research is correct.
I've got a book/catalogue (is a sales catalogue, but looks like a book) of Raznoexpoert, which as far as I can see is from 1965, and the only variant of the 55 mentioned is the MTs 55-1.
Btw, anybody know what the difference between the 55-1 and the 55-1M is?

It certainly is thick, but it's not uncomfortable at all. I agree that when I saw it for the first time, before actually gripping the pistol, it caught my attention.
The MTs55 is a great gun if you like a raked grip and/or have short fingers. The center of gravity is rather back in the hand but the pistol itself is rather heavy (about 1200-1300 grams i believe). I have a Rink grip on mine and I think it is great!
I have also wondered about the differences 55-1 vs. 55-1M but I have not been able to find any information about it.
