How do you unlock the Tokarev TT-33?

The Tokarev TT-33 unlocks at Level 21 in Call of Duty: World at War (2008). It arrives at Level 21 with the same eight-round capacity and close-range damage as the three earlier semi-automatic pistols. It has the slowest partial reload but the fastest empty reload, so its advantage appears after the magazine is fully spent. World at War multiplayer has no selectable weapon camos; Expert headshot challenges award XP only.
