Russian Nagant M1895 Error creating thumbnail: File missing Nagant M1895 Revolver - 7.62x38N cartridge (aka 7.62 Nagant ammo). This example was dated 1939 manufacture and was a War time Issued weapon. Note the angular front sight which was used from 1930s. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Nagant M1895 Revolver with 3.3inch (85mm) barrel - 7.62x38N cartridge (aka 7.62 Nagant ammo). This version was produced in 1924-1932 and used by NKVD and customs service. Note the rounded front sight which was used before 1930s. 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 suppressor and used effectively due to the gas sealing system. This unique solution also eliminates the risk of injuries attained if the hand of the operator is near the front of the cylinder.
The Russian Nagant M1895 Pistol was seen in the following:
