This expert-level review of the Belgian Nagant 1877 by C&Rsenal details its unique 'baby rolling block' inspired design. The firearm weighs 2.5 pounds, measures 10.4 inches, and fires two shots of 9x22mmR ammunition. It requires cocking both hammers before loading two rounds into the breech, operating in single-action only. While its uniqueness is appealing, the instructor notes its rudimentary sights, heavy trigger pulls, and would not recommend it for self-defense.
