M1895 Nagant Revolvers $99

[pegasusrider]

Welcome to the RGUNS Internet Storefront

Ordered mine on Friday. They posted today they are out but will have more in a couple weeks and accepting backorders.

Glad I got mine at $79 awhile back...

J&G also lists them at $99.95, but backordered.

Also, Aim has Priv Partisan Nagant ammo for $21.95 - cheapest i've seen, and probably better than HotShot.

Dang these things are going up in price. Mine was $69 a couple of years ago...

Unfortunately I missed out on the $79 deals. Rguns is an importer. I've got one of their 91/30's that was purchased from another vender and was happy with it. What about alternative ammo? I read that you could shoot other .32 rounds in it or buy a .32 ACP cylinder.

Would anybody consider using one of these as a carry gun?

.32 ACP cylinder is about $50-something.

I've fired .32 S&W (short) in the original cylinder; cases bulged noticeably; the Nagant is a tapered case. Some have tried .32 long, .32 H&R magnum, and even claim .327 magnum - not me, I value my life!

As for carry, only ammo available is FMJ target load - Priv is a 98 grain at 738 fps, sub-minimal for SD - and 7 round cylinder reloads single action style, one round at a time.

A little big and bulky for a carry gun. They are about the same size and weight as a S&W M10 or Colt OP with 4" barrel. You can shoot many .32 rimmed cartridges through these. Since the Nagant does not have a forcing cone, but has a little recess in the breech of the barrel for the brass case to make a gas seal, I recommend only jacketed rounds to prevent leading. If you are using real 7.62 Nagant cases, that's not a problem. I like .32 H&R Magnum for this pistol. The action is plenty strong enough for the pressures, reloading cases is easy, and the .32Mag is a useful self-defense round. Other choices are .32 S&W short or long, .32 Colt short or long, .32-20 (you may have to resize the cases and trim the rim), and as mentioned above, .32acp if you buy the conversion cylinder.

The trigger pull on this revolver is long and heavy. If you take the grips off and wash out the action with solvent, then use a little light lube on moving parts it becomes much better. Still long and heavy, but it's a big improvement.

The loading procedure is tedious. Think of a more complicated Colt Peacemaker loading process. But, you get seven rounds. All told, for the price it's a heck of a bargain!!

I got J&G's last one when they were 79.95. Aim should have some soon and I would rather order from them than anyone else.
