"Oh dear Lord" is exactly how I have heard others describe the 2A trigger on this, LOL
"Oh dear Lord" is never how you want to hear someone describe a double-action trigger... except for Mae; she made me laugh when she said it.
Please call it DA..

*Insert the Rock eyebrow raise with vine boom sound effect
Прежде, чем "О, Боже мой!", поинтересуйтесь нормами, которые выполняли офицеры Русской Императорской Армии, а потом и Красной Армии. Даю подсказку - дистанция 50 метров, стрельба с одной руки "устаревшим" стилем "с полусогнутой руки". Это видно на старых фотографиях. В этом Нагане даже изгиб рукоятки подразумевает именно такую манеру стрельбы. И они не только стреляли на стандартные 50 метров, но и выбивали прекрасные результаты. Много вы сейчас знаете таких, кто точно стреляет из армейского пистолета с одной руки на 50 метров?
Так что, неважно "ЧЕМ именно", важно "КАК именно".
That's how I feel with *all* double action pulls when I'm trying to aim!
0:46 That shaking tells its own story about how heavy the trigger is.
And her face at 0:32 😅
@@svenk.7980 beat me to it XD
I thought "in double the trigger is OH DEAR LORD" told it pretty well.
20 pounds and that is not a joke or sarcastic comment. That's where they hover.
@@chris.3711
Here I thought the NYPD mandatory 12lb trigger pull was heavy.
0:32 Damn sure Mae scared the damn thing into firing.
"Lemme see your warface!"
That is the Mae-patented "You better damn well" face. Useful for scaring a child into not doing something stupid, making a revolver with awful pull fire, or preventing viewers from hitting the dislike button.
The more of these I watch, the more I want a game where Mae runs the armory and gives you an overview of each new weapon
Yes!!!!
Lol the frustration at :33

Ah, the 1895. I remember when Cabela's and Sportsman's had these in droves for $169. It wasn't my first handgun - maybe 2nd or 3rd - but it was more of a conversation starter than any of my other early, questionable purchases.
I remember seeing them for $104 with the pebble holster and cleaning rod included. Nowadays I look up the price for them every so often just to see how much they’ve changed.
My dad got me mine for my birthday in 2008. They were $79.99 at J&G Sales or Southern Ohio Gun. I was obsessed with the ad every time a new catalog came out. Just had to have that weirdo Russian revolver. I was ecstatic when I opened the box and saw that brown leather flap holster. 😸 He got it to our door through his C&R FFL. At the time, ammo was nearly unobtainable. Your choices were Fiocchi at $30 a box (this was when 9mm was like $4 a box so that was outrageous) or corrosive Russian surplus. They were selling .32 ACP conversion cylinders. Most people, myself included, just (unsafely) fired .32 H&R Magnum and put up with the awful lead fouling and bad accuracy. I was very pleased when I went with my dad to Sportsman's Warehouse and I could find .32 S&W Long on the shelf because I knew that was safe. I settled for H&R even though it made me a little nervous. My dad reloaded at the time (I loved spending time with him helping him deprime and prime and flare cases) so we ALLLLLLMOST did the shaved .32-20 thing, but my parents got divorced and my dad sold all of his equipment to move out. :( Now, Prvi Partisan has made frequent shooting of the old girl a solid possibility. :) It's affordable, non-corrosive, widely available online, and it's even exactly right, gas seal crimp and all! Exactly like the original loading. I went to the range once a few years ago and the RO wanted to check my ammo for steel core/jacket projectiles for safety. He looked at the box labeled "7.62x38r Nagant" and said "This is rifle ammo, you can't shoot rifles here." I said "Nope, it's handgun ammo. Open it. Look at the cartridge. It's whacky. Bet you've never seen one before." He was tickled. I told him to go in with me and shoot a cylinder because he didn't believe me when I said it was a 20lb DA trigger pull. 🤣 He was a believer after the first shot, he was stunned. The look on his face, I tell ya. Priceless. I like this old girl, 1932 Tula. Certainly rode on someone's hip in WW2. Whether it killed more Germans or Finns than Russians, I'm not too sure of. 😸 I've read that 1895 Nagants were basically tasked with executing deserters and traitors more than being a combat sidearm. Lol Anyway...ranting. Sorry. Nice trip down memory lane fellas.
@@mannys9130 I remember when they were $79.99. Didn't know anything about them but I almost picked one up just for the hell of it. Man, wish I would have!
I remember $90, $75 if bought 4 or more. And I do remember $80, but the price jumped before I xould get the scratch up. Back on minimum wage and paying student debt, good times.
Back in 2012, I got one for $99. I weep for those days.
Mai has a staggering amount of trigger time across the entire world of firearms.
Very accurate description of the double action trigger pull.
Yeah. It's impressively bad. The guns are mechanically cool, but that gas seal system was definitely not worth all the downsides that came with it.
Maybe you guys have been spoiled. I didn't think the DA trigger was that bad. Not catchy or creepy.
Ok Mae's Oh dear lord face is awesome. Great vid!
0:33 Face for misbehaving weapon.
Conversation my buddy and I had when he got one of these:
“Why is it a seven shot revolver?”
“Because a Russian squad was 8 people, seven conscripts and one commissar”
“Oh, I see”
In Tsarist Russia commissar?
Ha Ha ! Right !
Those scenes in "Enemy at the Gates" where the officers were shooting enlisted men for falling back under heavy fire wasn't just a plot filler.
@@doughesson правильно, это не наполнение сцены, это пропаганда.
@@wallback1851 Your response didn't translate.
I don't care what anyone says, I love my 1895 Nagant. It's accurate and fun.
0:33 - the way you're looking that that Nagant :D
Wonderful, solid concise breakdown and analysis.
@@JSparrowist tf?
Excellent! Like always, I love seeing these WONDERFULLY erudite and clean videos.
*Oh dear lord*
That's what she said.
I love how you can always tell Mae is having fun shooting these,
I am glad I have one, and May’s description of the double action trigger pull is as perfect as I have ever heard.
After the Nagant M1878, we finally reach the Nagant M1895. What a journey it was.
Still waiting for Nagant M1915
I've been waiting so much for this.
Thank you Mae. It is always informative when I spend a minute with you !
Great job guys!
Thank you fir these wonderful little videos
@0:33 The trigger was so bad, Mae made a face, lol!
Maes' pull on the trigger says it all! Thank you for showing us and great info!
Ah yes, the famous Belgian service revolver. Did you know these were black powder and unable to be suppressed? I remember back in the day when they weren’t cheap or widely available.
This is the Russian one, which is smokeless and suppressable.
@@sinisterthoughts2896 I’m aware. I was poking fun at all the people on the last two Nagant episodes that thought it was the Russian 1895.
@@TenaciousTrilobite and I was one of the commenters that mentioned how far firearms technology had advanced between those two designs.
I mean, 99% of all the revolvers ever designed can't be suppressed, so...
Nagant M1895 has ability to be suppressed becouse of gas seal system
Comment of appreciation.
YAY a min of Mae 🤜🌟🤛
Best minute of my day
thank you Mae
The intro where Mae takes aim and then the screen snaps to white... Yeah, that's pretty much what a lot of Soviets saw during their final conscious moments on the fronts throughout the years. "Dasvidaniya traitor! Not one step back!" *BANG*
I liked that "you gotta be kidding me" look at 0:31.
Love the reaction with double action 😅
My day is complete 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
LOL "THAT TRIGGER IS OH DEAR LORD" LOL :-)
The way she looks at it trying to fire in double action haha
Mae "oh dear Lord". Outstanding.
Mam thanks for this video
One of my favorite handguns ever. I'd hand it to people that had only used Wonder 9's and they'd think a trigger block safety was on. I got to where I could really mess with people at the range with that 7th round. Plus, you can feed it just about any .32 you could easily get your hands on.
love it
I always love Mae's smile in the end :)
That "what the hell?" look that Mae gives the gun at 0:31 is hilarious.
Nice shooting
Elegant looking if not elegant in use ..!
very cool
Nobody says "triangular shark-fin front" like you, Mae.
I gotta get one of these, one of my favorite revolvers
They are way over priced now. I know they have that cool vintage factor but for the price you might as well get an old Smith and Wesson revolver.
Mae is awsome x
you are amazing
I love my nagan, it's easily my favorite EDC pistol
New best phrase o dear lord!
Well done video covering the gun. They are a nice piece of history but yeah that trigger makes it hard to shoot rapidly or accurately.
There is a video of a Nagant with a silencer fixed to it. Since the cylinder moves forward and closes with the barrel it seals it up so it is one of the few revolvers that can use a silencer.
And today in service.
The look on her face says so many things on this one.
I once heard this revolver described as "this ain't no lady's gun". But seeing how you handled it, my informant was obviously WRONG! Thank you for this "Minute of Mae", series. I really enjoy watching you and the way you handle these weapons.
"this ain't no lady's gun"
Girls Frontline:
Oh yes the best revolver ever made
I feel like the crucial link we're missing with the nagant family c&r rundown in terms of the most changes is the swedish 1887 nagant that introduced that style of knurled cylindrical ejector rod, after the belgian plunger style, as well as a smaller caliber, moving from 9.4 belgian to 7.5x23mm swiss/swedish
During the Imperial Russian regime, single action revolvers were intended for enlisted men, the double action was intended for officers. After the Civil War, the Communist regime converted the older revolvers to double action. It was a simple process. All new revolvers were produced in double action versions. Again ,after WW2 all Nagnet Revolvers were refurbished to like new, and put in storage. Single action only versions are rare.
Imperial regime is far better than Communist one in every single example in history, especialy Russia
Thanks and greetings from Russia :)
The official manual of arms did not require you to use the ejector rod unless the case was genuinely stuck. You can just push the cases out by pressing on them from the top. This makes reloading, while still slower compared to most other revolvers, much less time consuming.
Also should be noted, these were officers' weapons. Their main purpose was to look cool and provide personal protection. Russian doctrine never considered pistols a particularly important weapon outside of police context.
Muy bueno tu vídeo saludos desde Argentina
I own one from the early Soviet Union era (1927) Had it for several years now. As I get older and a bit of arthritis in my hands, I can't double action fire it at all anymore. But what a fun and unique firearm.
For anyone with complaints about the Russian Government's adopting of this firearm, please go to the Отделение по охранению общественной безопасности и порядка with a small bag containing one change of clothes, basic toiletries, and a small personal memento or two. No sharp objects such as razors, nail files, or pocket knives please.
Hint: Отделение по охранению общественной безопасности и порядка = Department for Protecting the Public Security and Order = the Czar's secret police
In an insane world, a minute of plaid-clad May brings a little inner peace.
Me a russian had the same reaction experiencing the gun. Always wondered why we adopted the gun when there were whole world of revolvers in US, cool and simple, austrian guns, webleys. When I see the gun I see ridiculous reloading during combat. Well, we always treated carelessly small arms and focused on main weapon more properly
Imperial Russia adopted the early Smith & Wesson break action revolvers in the 19th century. Russians loved them and the Czar's largess purchasing them by the boatload saved Smith & Wesson from bankruptcy. But it's damn expensive buying pistols half a planet away and dragging them across that distance. And they weren't cheap pistols to begin with!. Successive Russian small arms acquisitions and manufacturing were more sensible even if sub optimal. If the Czars had shown the same practicality for everything they'd still be ruling Russia.
IMO it was literally a step backwards. The commission should've looked at new American revolvers. The Russian military had previously used Smith & Wesson revolvers (the Model 3 aka Schofield) that had a *top-break* with an automatic ejector, so reloading them was faster than the newer Nagant revolver.
Agree, despite being a single action the top break S&W they had before is a better revolver in every way. And the .44 caliber round was more powerful too.
@@Waldemarvonanhalt Yes, but name a time when an army defeated an enemy based on pistol superiority alone. If you can't, there's a reason. Pistols are small fry and armies having the best possible pistol is like having the best possible haircut. Horses (and now AFVs), planes, ships, roads, rail, cannons, rockets, missiles, rifles, training, and army sizes count for more.
@@GMdrivingMOPARguy True, agree with that, just wished our ancestors put more effort into that and rode around with cooler guns.
But we still have this thing, Makarov pistol(bruh) is used in military from 1953 up to this day. It's a cool police gun, but not military. TT-33 was so cool but withdrawn from service. Only spec ops have great arsenal
Nice
Someone has access to pretty nifty arsenal!!
Well done Mae, I have one of these relics, like all Russian firearms, not to pretty but get the job done.
After seeing yours work so well single action I’m a bit worried about my own 😅 When firing single action the trigger catches on the second hammer sear used for 2a and stops it from sending home. Do you know if this is a common issue or an isolated malfunction?
ive always loved the idea of a goody gas seal suppressed revolver, shame its only been tried a handful of times
UNCIRCUMSIZED AMMO
Probably the heaviest trigger pull I have ever experienced
mine has a timing issue in DA. but it is an accurate fellow.
I loved that look at 0:33. It's exactly the kind of look I give my son when I tell him he needs to stop doing something and he looks me right in the eyes and does it again. A real, "Oh you are VEXING me now, child" staredown!
I own one. That's a good description.
Just about the only revolver you can supress. Would like to try it sometime.
"That trigger is OH DEAR LORD!"
HAHAHA!!
I’m looking that Pistol as a T-Doll
You can attach a air filter on that revolver, and it will be quiet, like mouse-fart quiet.
You mean an oil filter, right? As in an oil filter silencer? Yes, it's true that this is one of the few revolvers capable of successful suppression. :) One of its unique characteristics for sure. Personally, I just love that there is zero forcing cone and cylinder throat fouling. When shooting .32 S&W Long, .32 H&R Magnum, or custom loaded modified .32-20 cartridges, the fouling is very messy like a traditional revolver. The gas seal keeps alllllll of that soot and lube and vaporized lead in the bore. 💪😎 I love it!
You can also bend over for the ATF cause we don't have rights.
BS. The round is supersonic.
@@eloiseharbeson2483 These top out around 100fps short of supersonic.
@@mfree80286 Nope. The ammo that was run up for them in the 70's was about 1200 fps. Pre-war ammo is too rare and expensive to shoot and PPU (the only mfr I know of that is loading 7.62x38r) is VERY mild stuff so as not to be aa dangerous in old, poorly maintained guns. IDK where you get your information. Even the WWII era ammo was supersonic.
A big gun, with some big shortcomings.
Ooo I always liked this revolver. I wish it was easier to load though. Hopefully by being able to swing out the cylinder like a .38 Special.
There was a Belgian swing-out version “Nagant 1910”. Thought I can barely find any more info on it.
Would be hard to make that e we irl with the gas seal system on the cylinder.
Happy to a minute for this gun. still getting ammo online so I can shoot mine for the first time. :) hopefully for my birthday.
More than any other gun, this is the one I regret buying back when they were dirt cheap!
I regret nothing.
Looks like it has some Webley influence in it
❤
I have a spam can of 7.62x38r run up in the 70's and a WWII manufactured pistol with one out-of-time chamber. It shoots fine on single action and I keep it in reach of my bed. I learned to shoot combat revolvers DA and the 1895 doesn't feel that bad to me, other than that one wonky chamber.
Does the cylinder locking with the forcing cone mean this would be
a very quiet revolver with a suppressor mounted to it?
yes it has a gas seal
the Famous Mae smile, ive often wondered,Is there a gun that makes her frown. Most likely not.
I agree.......the Oh Dear Lord is a new instant Mae classic! I think all trigger pulls in the future should be listed as Great, Meh, and OH DEAR LORD!
👍it was still WW2 still largely issued.
Priced gun as war suvenier /taken from enemy.
such a wonder if the zars never fell what kinda guns they make
Small but beautiful
The gun too..
@@kevinmccusker1866 I meant the gun
I wholeheartedly agree with the double action pull...I think He-Man would have trouble pulling it through double action lol
Darn, you must have weak hands. I've had two and the DA trigger pull is long, but not terribly stiff.
@@eloiseharbeson2483It's 20 lbs, absolute crap when you have to use in the trenches or close quarter combat of the Eastern Front. No wonder Russians from it to the TT-33 which is way better in every regard. Even if you adrenaline your way through that terrible double action, you still have a long ass reload which most likely will cost you your life. Nagant M1895 is a beautiful revolver and accurate but compared to even its contemporaries it's obsolescent.
The infamous one.
the ejecting system really needs a upgrade.
Hello! If the drum chambers are in good condition, then the sleeves should fall out under their own weight or from a light poke with a finger. Thanks for the video👍🤝
0:31 your face says it all!
I really want one of these pistols
0:32 that face of annoyance. Lol
👍👍👍
