I was poking around Aim Surplus's site yesterday, and almost blew a fuse in my head--they've got Nagant revolvers for $80.
http://www.aimsurplus.com/acatalog/Russian_1895_7.62_Nagant_Revolver.html
I know nothing about them, aside from basic operation--the weird shifting cylinder, how to load/ unload, and fire (or try to with the 400 lb. trigger pull)--but aside from those, I've heard nothing but rumors.
What ammo can be fired in them--is it only 7.62 Nagant, or (what I've heard) can .32 ACP, .32 H&R Mag, .32 S&W, .32 S&W Long, .32-20, 7.62x25 Tok, etc. be used as well? Which might work and which won't?
How reliable/accurate/strong/etc. are they? Easy to repair, or will I have to get another one if/when this one breaks?
Is it (7.62 Nagant) effective enough for home defense or self-defense? How about the other calibers?
Are these legendary (but as of yet unseen) conversion cylinders that cost twice as much as the pistol worth it?
Where can I get 7.62 Nagant ammo for less than $70/box of 20? (Reloading isn't something I do)
How are AIM's shipping charges?
Thanks in advance for all input, insight, and info. The most frustrating part is, I've never really liked revolvers... but looking at my collection, nearly half of them are wheelguns. I don't know how it happened... they're even SAO. I always liked "tacticool" stuff, not this arcane, obsolete technology. Not like I can have both, right?
*sigh* Ah well. Guess I'll go watch some more Firefly.
