Nagant Revolver Shortage?

[Guest ppardue1]

I am as well aware as the next guy of how insane the gun market has become in recent months. What I did not anticipate, though, is Nagant revolvers becoming scarce. I have checked all the usual suspects (AIM, J&G, etc.) and no one has had any in that I have seen. I have seen many shipments come in (and subsequently sell out) of 91/30s and the like, but it doesn't look like anyone is even getting shipments in of the revolvers.

 

Does anyone have any insight? I am trying to justify holding out and not buying at the inflated Gun Broker prices.

SOG has em.

I, of course, had never set up an account with them (I have my C&R) so I think you have helped me out in two ways. Thanks!

No problem. They are my favorite vendor. Good luck my friend!

Seems every other table had them at the show in Hendersonville last weekend. Of course they all wanted $200 for them.

I've been wanting to get one as well. I'd been waiting to see if AIM might get some in, but they haven't. I guess I may finally order one from SOG.

I got a handpicked one from SOG about 2 months ago right after they went up $20. Looks as good as any at the show.

I am shocked to find these in short supply. These are some neat revolvers and I like mine well enough, but I never would have thought that there would be a run on them. Guess I'm glad I got my CCCP marked example when I did.

Saw some at the Knox gun show today, $199...with holster and plenty of protective cosmoline.

 

First time I've ever held one and it reminded me of a funny reference in Martin Cruz Smith's Gorky Park about the 1895 Nagant revolver...paraphrased...

 

"two criminals are arguing, #1 pulls the rusty Nagant, both are surprised when the Nagant actually discharges, killing #2."
