This video from Brownells Gun Tech features firearm historian Keith Ford showcasing the Nagant M1895 revolver. The presentation highlights its unique gas-sealed system, which allows for suppressor attachment, a feature not typically found on revolvers. Ford also discusses its origin in Belgium and subsequent production in Russia, its longevity in service, and its somewhat complex single-action-like ejection process. The "dirty secret" of its trigger pull is also mentioned.
The NKVD Officer's Model Nagant is a compact variant of the M1895, featuring a shorter barrel and grip for concealed carry, often used by Soviet secret police and customs agents. While mechanically similar to the standard model, its design modifications, including rounded sights and hammer, facilitate a smoother draw. Production ran from 1924 to 1932, with around 25,000 units made.
