Revolver

The revolver became one of the symbols of the Russian revolution of 1917 and the subsequent civil war, and later the word “revolver” became a household word - in colloquial speech, any revolver was often called “revolver”. After the end of the Great Patriotic War, the revolver was removed from service by the Soviet Army and its production was discontinued. Nevertheless, the revolvers of the Nagant system were in service with the police until 1960, the prosecutor's office until 1976, in the paramilitary security system and the collection system - much longer. Although revolvers are no longer in demand in army units, the simplicity of design, cheapness and reliability of this type of weapon will be in demand by civilians for a long time. As a means of self-defense, sports and recreational weapons, revolvers function perfectly. The revolver of the Nagant system is officially considered an award along with the TT and the Makarov pistol. In total, from 1900 to 1945, more than 2,600,000 revolvers were produced.
