Silenced 1895 Nagant revolver (NFA)

I always wanted a silenced revolver since I heard all about how they're "impossible" to make. Well, not if you use an old-as-dirt design that seals the cylinder gap.

I GIVE YOU... a silenced revolver. Naysayers, pay up. :D

To those interested in tech specs, here you are:

HotShot ammo, running a 98gr bullet at 900FPS or so

Mike from www.tornado-technologies.com threaded the barrel (it was $75)

The silencer is a Yankee Hill Machine (YHM) Cobra 9mm with a Nielsen device (though the Nielsen device isn't needed, I use this on my Glock 17 and P38 as well)

The silencer is registered per the 1934 NFA and complies with applicable state laws.

i believe the revolver shoots under 330mps?

[elitearbor]

Indeed it does. The projectiles average 181mps. :)

[cometaztheoriginal]

what about the output speed? i heard about something that when it's under 330mps it doesnt break the sound barrier, which makes a silencer pretty effective... am i right? =)

[elitearbor]

The quiet sound levels coming from this particular combination are from the silencer trapping and cooling the gas before allowing it out, plus the relatively low speed (well under the speed of sound) of the projectile. If I were to fire a projectile that is even slightly above the speed of sound, say 335mps (about 1100fps) then there would indeed be a sonic crack and the report would be quite loud still. In short, yes, you are correct about how silencers work.

can you post a link to where you got this silencer?

[elitearbor]

YouTube does not allow links, but it is a YHM Cobra 9mm. It is no longer available, and there are FAR better choices in silencers for this sort of use.

Dude, that is scary silent...

[pullnshoot25]

That thing is ridiculously quiet. RAD!!!

I didn't think you could put a silencer on a revolver.

It's incredibly loud and powerful!

[SonOfHighValour]

It sounds like the hammer is coming down on an empty cylinder rather than firing... That is an effective revolver and a really good suppressor.

It's cute. <3

You have that made for TV silencer sounds, but in your case its made for reality! Thanks for posting and sharing!

[1953SM]

Wow, that was pretty quiet compared to without !

[NCLUSA]

Neat,,,real neat.

[wese3000]

it sounds like one of those toy gunpowder revolvers!

[bp968]

Love it. How have I been shooting silenced for almost 7 years and not bought one of these for 100$ yet? Also OP, check out the 300 blackout. It makes shooting a silenced AR15 FUN again. Its MP5SD quiet. (just be sure your putting on a 308 or 9mm can, and not a 5.56 can which would be a major bummer).

This has to be the best design for a silenced weapon. All you hear are mechanical clicks of the trigger and the hammer falling. This model of gun must be in every spies arsenal.

If the Defense Department invented this gun/silencer system it would have cost about a Billion Dollars to produce.
