History Primer 165: Belgian Nagant 1877 Documentary
The Belgian Nagant 1877 is a unique two-shot, double-barreled military handgun chambered in 9.4mm Nagant. Developed by the Nagant brothers, it was adopted by the Belgian Gendarmerie to replace older percussion pistols. Despite its unusual design and heavy trigger pull, it offered moderate recoil and served until 1901.
