In a defense situation on the battle field if you have to use your pistol over your rifle you are pretty fucked anyway. Its not like you use your pistol all the time you know.
27 seconds just on the extraction phase of the reload. Ouch. Then again, this was a weapon 'final act of defiance' basically, and it was designed back when swing-out cylinders were not all that popular.
Helluva gun, helluva piece of history, though. Keep 'em coming!
That's how most single-action revolvers are reloading, even nowadays. Go pick up a brand new Ruger Single Action revolver, and you have the same basic casing ejector. They are designed like that for reliability, durability, and accuracy, not for speediness.
Not the Russians, the Belgians. Leon Nagant was a Belgian designer. He invented the pistol which the Russians (and other countries) adopted, and him and Mosin teamed up to make the Mosin-Nagant rifle.
It was originally chambered to a proprietary cartridge (I forget what), but the bore and headspace is close enough to .32 S&W Long that you can use off-the-shelf 32 in it without issue.
38 Spec / 357 Mag is a different fish altogether. 357 Mag is a beefcake 38 Special, not an interchange with a different caliber. Of course, if you are a cheapie, you can use .38 in a .357, just be sure to inspect your cylinders for throat erosion after doing it.
lol forgot to mention it in the description at the time but my friend and i were racing to see who could reload faster which is why speed was important
It is when this gun was kept as a front line weapon late into the 1940s. The Colt SAA was used against guns similar to itself, where as this gun was used against fully automatic and semi automatic weapons.
"Slow a Fuck"...lol
I want one of those.

In the 'heat of battle' a 1911 always worked for me.

@82abnoff
1911 is a nice gun, but size, weight, and capacity are way to important to me in a carry pistol.
Buffalowdown 2 years ago
It seems like having to do that in the heat of battle would be hard. I guess the Russians didn't think of moving the revolver out of the weapon...

Good vid, I love that gun. Are you using Nagant ammo or .32?
ifssal 3 years ago
using .32 there, nagant ammo's just too expensive when .32 works fine in it
deadmeat952 3 years ago
I'm not too familiar with the Nagant, can it use .32 the same way a .357 can use a 38 special?
John234pwns 3 years ago
Kind've - but not really. In this video those are not 32ACP but 32SW Longs which will work 100% of the time.
mini4m3 3 years ago
So its not designed to , but it'll work?
John234pwns 3 years ago
Yes - accuracy will deminish though.

There is one weapon I would never use in a firefight.
iloveguns1990 3 years ago
These were mostly used as a last result weapon,Assasinating Nazi prisoners,and clearing out buildings. The Russian would have the PPSH in a firefight

The truth is that these revolves killed more russians than external forces. During the pograms and purges this was the weapon of choice.

doesn't make the SAA any faster to reload vs a m1895, in fact i think they're about the same.. i was just saying..
