Nagant Revolver

Nagant M1895 Pistol - 7.62x38N cartridge (aka 7.62 Nagant ammo). This example was dated 1939 manufacture and was a War time Issued weapon.

The Nagant M1895 Pistol (actually a gas sealed revolver) was seen in the following: The Nagant M1895 uses a special trigger mechanism to both rotate the cylinder and push it forward when the trigger is pulled. The better seal presented by the cylinder and the frame of the revolver makes it quieter and more powerful due to better gas containment. The trade off is an extremely heavy trigger pull, up to 20 pounds in double action. It is notable that this is one of the very few revolvers that can be fitted with a sound supressor and used effectively due to the gas sealing system.
