“...a “Nagant” - really? I didn’t even think they made ammo for those things anymore! I wasn’t sure that those things were used for anything since Lenin’s nitwits murdered the Czar and his wife and kids.”

USSR re-started o1895g revolver production during the Second World War. It wasn’t all Tokarevs and PPSh-41s.

Refinished Nagants have been imported for a number of years. Lots of surplus military ammunition has been brought in; Fiocchi and Prvi Partizan sell modern-made 7.62x38R ammunition. Haven’t examined the Fiocchi, but the PPU stuff is of good quality, Boxer primed.

Some aftermarket firms offered separate cylinders chambered in 32 ACP, but extensive fitting was required.

Nonetheless, not exactly a premier firearm, right? Kind of like those old Webleys we used to see in .38 S&W Short years ago.

One click above Starter's Pistol. But probably better than some of the pot metal .32s I've seen lately.

As you may have guessed, I'm a bit of a firearms snob..(if it ain't got matching numbers, it ain't a Luger..)
