THE RIG CONSISTS OF THE REVOLVER, 1 IZHEVSK 1943 HOLSTER AND LANYARD RING, 1 BOX ORIGINAL AMMO (31 ROUNDS). A VERY NICE WWII RUSSIAN MILITARY RIG. NOTE:The Nagant M1895 Revolver is a seven-shot, gas-seal revolver designed and produced by Belgian industrialist Léon Nagant for the Russian Empire. The Nagant M1895 was chambered for a proprietary cartridge, 7.62×38mmR, and featured an unusual "gas-seal" system, in which the cylinder moved forward when the gun was cocked, to close the gap between the cylinder and the barrel, providing a boost to the muzzle velocity of the bullet and allowing the weapon to be suppressed (an unusual characteristic for a revolver).[3] In fact, a 38mm long shell covers the whole bullet for this very purpose as well. This way, early Nagant users would avoid dealing with gases of black powder.
