The Nagant 1895 revolver

The Nagant 1895 revolver was designed by Léon Nagant, a Belgian industrialist, the Nagant M1895 is a military revolver that has a gas seal between the cylinder and forcing cone. The cylinder actually moves forward to seal off the cylinder gap prior to cartridge ignition. Because the ignition gases do not escape the cylinder gap, the Nagant is one of the few revolvers that is able to be effectively suppressed, giving an assassin a handgun that will not spew brass or make much noise. Suppressed Nagant revolvers were used by the Viet Cong, and a suppressed Nagant revolver resides in the CIA Museum in Langley, Virginia.
A couple of years ago, many of these historical weapons were imported and sold as surplus in the United States. Cursed with obscure, weak and expensive ammunition, as well as a heavy trigger pull, they were not popular sellers. Still, they sold readily in like new condition with the original holsters and lanyards for under $100. If you are interested in getting a Nagant revolver of your own, the revolver is still available with the holster and tools from <MOD Edit: Please don't mention vendors who ship to MA!!!> They have 7.62 Nagant ammunition as well.

I had no idea about that company at all, thanks for expunging the item. In the future, if I can remember, I’ll try to edit out all such companies in the articles.

Dear Moderator ~ You are definitely on your toes. A thousand pardons for my error but who’s to know? I had no idea about that company at all, thanks for expunging the item. In the future, if I can remember, I’ll try to edit out all such companies in the articles.
