| rdfs:comment | - 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, 7.62x38R, 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 and allowing the weapon to be suppressed (an unusual ability for a revolver). Other Nagant revolver designs were also adopted by police and military services of Sweden (7.5 mm M1887), Norway (M1893), Poland, and Greece (M1895). These revolvers were largely similar to the Russian Nagant M1895, but lacked the gas seal mechanism.

- The Nagant M1895 revolver was designed by Belgian gun designer, Leon Nagant, for use in the Belgian army and police force. It was adopted by the Imperial Russian Army as their main sidearm. It fired a unique gas sealed 7.62x38mmR round from a 7 round cylinder. It was replaced by the Soviet made Tokarev TT-33 in the 1930s, however models of the revolver were used throughout World War 2 and the Vietnam War as well as into the present day.
- The Nagant M1895 is a weapon in Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad.
- Nagant revolvers are most famous as Soviet weapons. However, the origin of those revolvers is in Belgium. Designed by Nagant brothers, Emile and Leon, these revolvers saw the light in late 1880s. While those revolvers were used in numerous countries, most of them were produced and used in Russia. Adapted into service by Tsarist Russia in 1895, those revolvers had served until the 1940s as military sidearms. Afterwards, they were relegated for use by second-line troops and security troops.

- Nagant revolvers are most famous as Soviet weapons. However, the origin of those revolvers is in Belgium. Designed by Nagant brothers, Emile and Leon, these revolvers saw the light in late 1880s. While those revolvers were used in numerous countries, most of them were produced and used in Russia. Adapted into service by Tsarist Russia in 1895, those revolvers had served until the 1940s as military sidearms. Afterwards, they were relegated for use by second-line troops and security troops. Curiously enough, Nagant revolvers are still in use, mostly by security. Those revolvers are about three times older than people who carry them - which does not prevent them from reliable service. Technically, Nagant revolvers had very outdated reloading system even at the moment of their adoption into service - at this time Colt and Smith & Wesson revolvers already featured swing-out cylinders. Nagants, on the other hand, had to be reloaded by loose cartridges through the loading opening on the right side of the frame. Nagants had curious features - like gas-sealed cylinder. During shot, cylinder shifted forward, inserting the front of cartridge into barrel. To achieve this, Nagants used proprietary cartridges, with bullets completely enclosed by cases, which had cylindrical shape with tapered mouth. The whole system, intended to make full use of gunpowder gases, was quite complicated. It made Nagant one of the rare revolvers capable of mounting a suppressor. This feature was actively used by NKVD and special forces of Red Army. Suppressor, named the Bramit device, was developed by Mitin brothers, and mounted on barrel per necessity.
