Howdy, I've been lurking for quite some time a year+ and this is my first post. I am very short on cash and considering a Nagant 1895 7.62x38r as a full sized ccw and home defense gun. Is it is worth the cash? $150 near me and the transfer fees make online ones too expensive. Ammo is readily available for less than $25 a box even during all this price hiking insanity. I am of the opinion that if I can't get back to my car with 7 to 14 rounds I'm already done for, so S/A loading is not an issue for me, but over penetration is in the suburban neighborhood in North Texas where I currently reside. Any links on this topic would be appreciated. My other pieces are a 1938 Mosin Nagant 91/30 and a 6-7 year old Remington 870 Express with a 26" super magnum smooth bore (modified choke) and a 20" rifled slug barrel.
