This video analyzes the Russian M1895 Nagant revolver, a historically significant firearm that replaced the Smith & Wesson No. 3 in Imperial Russian service. It details the revolver's manufacturing history, including early Belgian production and later domestic production at Tula and Izhevsk arsenals. The description highlights its unique 7-shot, double-action mechanism, chambered in 7.62x38mm, and explains its innovative gas-seal system that allows for effective suppressor use. Ballistics are compared to other contemporary cartridges, and the shooting experience is described as reliable but with a heavy double-action trigger and mild recoil, making it a practical sidearm for its intended military role.
