1895 Nagant

rseymorejr · Jan 22, 2012

I just got my new, to me,Nagant from J&G. Wierd looking little gun, interesting design (the cylinder moves forward as the hammer comes to full cock and puts about 1/32" of the cartridge case into the cone) Can't wait to get it out and shoot it a bit. the only thing that makes me a little bit nervous is the hammer looks like it could be a weak point.

Anyone have any experience with these?

Sure, at least tens of millions of Russians.

Yep I own one. Definitely an interesting revolver and cartridge. Not the cheapest C&R to shoot but nice nonetheless

yeah, tell me about it. I have as much invested in ammo as I do in the gun!

According to YouTube, they suppress well.

Most sources say no, I fired a few no problems. If you want to shoot .32 acp then you need to get a cylinder.

Nah, although it seemed like mine was shaving lead when I tried it with .32s&w long. It's .32ACP that you need a conversion cylinder for.

There fun to shoot, so little recoil it doesnt seem like much more than a 22lr. The SA is pretty smooth and not bad however the DA sucks. It has like a 20lb trigger pull

Half-cocked · Jan 22, 2012

The trigger in SA is a bit more tolerable, and it's pretty accurate when shot that way. DA trigger pull is frickin' horrible.

I actually ordered the ammo before I ordered the gun: 4 boxes, delivered for about $100. From AIM

13lb IIRC, and it sucks.
