=HISTORY=
The M1895 revolver, also known as the Nagant revolver, is a distinctive firearm notable for its unique gas-seal system, which allowed it to maintain consistent muzzle velocity even when using a suppressor. Originally developed by Belgian arms designer Léon Nagant, it gained widespread use by various military and police forces during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

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.

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.

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.
