            <description><![CDATA[Yes, Sanger had it right in the first post.&nbsp; Eric knew what it was, too.&nbsp; This pic's for you, Eric.&nbsp; John Not-the-Armorer knew what it was because he sold it to me.It's a single action Nagant pistol, that was cut-away (most likely a home-grown job, not an arsenal-quality piece of work) and then stored badly (as Tim noted).The Nagant's claim to fame is that unlike most revolvers, this pistol actually seals at the breech.&nbsp; The bullet is seated well down inside that cartridge case (yes, that's a loaded Nagant cartridge) and that elongated neck is designed to protrude from the...]]></description>

                <![CDATA[Grimmy - all the hard work occurs when you cock it.&nbsp; Trigger let-off isn't bad, and the cylinder stays forward until you release the trigger.<br />
<br />
The pistol comes in two-flavors.&nbsp; A single-action only &quot;NCO model&quot; and a double action &quot;Officer's Model.&quot;&nbsp; The double-action trigger pull is pretty stout, which is true of most revolvers.&nbsp; The pushing the cylinder forward piece doesn't really seem to add much to the effort.<br />

That said, I've never fired this pistol after having to fight my way forward in mud or dust or ice and snow, so it might not be so much fun then.]]>

                That sounds like a spiffy concept, the sealing thing, I mean. How does that impact trigger pull, though?

                <![CDATA[typical soviet/russian: very simple, but with a twist. simple reliable revolver, but why something sophisticated like&nbsp;the sealing? Why chrome lined barrels in a ppsh 41? why water cooled barrels on&nbsp;their version of the maxim?<br />

Thanks for the pic.&nbsp;]]>
