This "American Rifleman Television" segment features a deep dive into the M1895 Nagant Revolver, adopted by Imperial Russia in the 1890s. The video highlights its unique gas-sealing mechanism, designed by Belgian Leon Nagant, which allowed for increased muzzle velocity by preventing gas leakage. It discusses the 7.62mm bottleneck wadcutter cartridge, the revolver's historically cumbersome single-action loading process, and its notoriously heavy trigger pull. The segment also touches upon the quality variations between early Belgian-made and later Russian-produced models, including refurbished examples. The M1895 Nagant remains a popular and affordable military-surplus collectible, though ammunition can be challenging to find.
