SGT. QUINCANNON, SASS #32999 39 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Hello to All, Some few years ago, around the time that TONS of those Model 1895 Nagant revolvers were coming into the USA, it was suggested that .32 short or long ammunition could be safely fired in those revolvers. Now that a few years have passed, I am wondering if anyone tried this, and if so, are you still doing it? Inquiring minds want to know. As always, your thoughts are welcome.

Tall Tale Todd 242 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Yes, that revolver can be suppressed. Oh, I'm sorry, was that not your question? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sedalia Dave 12,720 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Back when 7.62X38R was scarce some people used .32 S&W or .32 H&R in their pistols. However because they are undersized it ruins the brass. Also some 32 H&R magnums are too hot and can damage the pistol. You can make brass from 32-20 but it is too short to provide the gas seal. Today 7.63X38R is easy to obtain. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Some of the revolvers were sold with spare, non-original cylinders chambered in 32 ACP, and IIRC, .32 Colt. I think .32 Colt in a 7.62×38mm (or 32 WCF) chamber would cause case problems if the case head was not otherwise supported. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just for grins I shot a match with a pair of Nagants. I used .32 S&W Long. They did fine. I used the brass to reload using Lee dies. No problem. Still have the Nagants. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
