	The Nagant M1895 is a seven-shot, gas-seal revolver designed ~~and produced~~ by ~~Belgian industrialist~~ Léon Nagant ~~for~~ the Russian Empire.		<hr>
			The Nagant M1895 is a Russian seven-shot revolver chambered in 7.62×38mmR. It is best known for its unusual gas-seal system, where the cylinder moves forward when cocked to reduce the cylinder gap and improve efficiency. This feature also makes it one of the few revolvers that can be effectively suppressed compared to typical revolver designs.
			==HISTORY==
			The Nagant M1895 was designed by Léon Nagant and adopted by the Russian Empire in 1895 as a standard military and police sidearm, replacing earlier revolvers. Early production involved Belgian manufacture and later large-scale manufacture in Russia, including at Tula, with both double-action and simplified single-action patterns issued depending on role and rank. The revolver saw long service through the Imperial era, the Revolution, and the Soviet period, remaining common in the Red Army and internal security organizations through World War II.

	~~The~~ Nagant ~~M1895 was chambered for a proprietary cartridge, 7.62×38mm, and features a gas~~-~~seal system,~~ in ~~which~~ the ~~cylinder moves forward when~~ the ~~gun is cocked~~, ~~to close~~ the ~~gap between the cylinder and the barrel~~, ~~providing a boost to the muzzle velocity of the bullet and allowing the weapon to be suppressed. Its design would inspire the Pieper M1893 carbine~~ and ~~Steyr 1893 revolver~~.		Although the Soviet Union began replacing the Nagant with the [[TT-33]] in the 1930s and later the [[Makarov]] PM after the war, the huge number produced meant it persisted for decades in storage, secondary issue, and export. As Cold War arms circulated, older revolvers like the Nagant could still surface as legacy sidearms well after their official replacement, especially in smaller numbers alongside more modern pistols.
	~~=HISTORY=~~
	~~The Nagant was designed by Léon Nagant~~, ~~whose brother Émile had also designed~~ the ~~[[Mosin–Nagant]] rifle. The~~ Nagant ~~M1895 was adopted~~ as ~~the standard issue sidearm for the Imperial Russian Army and police officers~~, ~~where it replaced earlier Smith & Wesson models such as the Model 3~~.

	~~Production began in Liège, Belgium; however Russia purchased the manufacturing rights in 1898, and moved production to the Tula Arsenal in Russia, and was soon producing 20,000 examples per year~~.		===Sources===

	~~It was produced in two versions~~: ~~a double~~-~~action version for officers, and a cheaper single~~-~~action version for the lower ranks. Seven~~ Nagant ~~revolvers were used by communist revolutionaries to kill the Russian imperial family and their servants in July 1918~~. ~~After the Russian Revolution, only the double-action version was made~~. ~~Nagant revolvers were used by the NKVD and Red Army units until the end~~ of ~~World War II, with a total of 2,000,000 produced. The~~ Nagant ~~began to be replaced by the [[Tokarev~~]~~] semi-automatic pistol in 1933, and was formally replaced by the~~ [~~[Makarov]~~] ~~in 1952, though Nagant revolvers continued to see limited use in the Korean War and Vietnam War.~~		* [https://royalarmouries.org/collection/object/object-278218 Royal Armouries – Centrefire seven-shot revolver - Nagant Model 1895]
