Description
I finally got this old war horse running again. All it took was a new cylinder pin.The Nagant M1895 Revolver was 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, 7.62x38R, 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 fired projectile. Other Nagant revolver designs were also adopted by police and military services of Sweden (7.5 mm M1887), Norway (M1893), Poland, and Greece (Περίστροφον M1895).

[edit] Russian M1895Léon Nagant and his brother Emile were well known in the Russian Tsar's court and military administration because of the important part they had played in the design of the Russian service rifle Mosin-Nagant Model 1891. The Nagant M1895 became the standard issue side arm for Russian army and police officers, later including their special services, the NKVD and the KGB.
Production began in Liège, Belgium, but was soon moved to Russia. The M1895 started to be replaced by the more modern Tokarev semi-automatic pistol in 1933 but was still produced and used in great numbers during World War II. The distinctive shape and name helped it achieve cult status in Russia, and in the early 1930s the presentation of a Nagant M1895 revolver with an embossed Red Star was one of the greatest honours that could be bestowed on a Party Member. It remains in use with the Russian Railways and remote police forces

AFAIK, Nagant could be reloaded altogether via drum swap. But with a risk of losing that very pin.

The Nagant is the only one revolver that can be fitted with a silencer.

Your very right, It's because the cylinder moves forward and makes a gas seal like automatic.

Also, the bullet mounted inside the cartridge helps to seal the gas.

And the bullet is also low velocity.

Combine all those features with a silencer, and you will have a revolver that produce very low noise.
Like the one in this video .

It's probably one of the most quiet pistol I've heard.

I used to have one but there was something wrong with the mechanism and ofttimes the cylinder wouldn't rotate when you pulled the trigger.
If I was to get another it would be the target model with the heavy barrel and adjustable sights and I would definitely reload the ammo.

Hellsing is one of the reason way I got into guns in the first place, I even bought a pistol in the same caliber as Alucard's Casull.
