Suppressed Revolvers

[Excalibur]

You can't suppress revolvers right? Because of the open chambers.

The m1895 nagant and russian ots-38 can be supressed. The nagant has its cylinder move forward to seal gap. NO idea how the newer russian wheelgun works.

Not to be nitpicky, but "Mosin Nagant" is the term for the M91 series of rifles, the Revolver is known as the Nagant M1895.

What about in the movie, Once Upon a Time in Mexico? There was a scene where that one chick puts a suppressor on her revolver. The revolver she is using isn't a sealed chamber design right?

As far as I know the M1895 is the only revolver to have a gas seal system, so if it' not that, then no it doesn't have the system and therefore can't be suppressed.

I'm confused. If a sealed cylinder gap for revolvers means that more of the powder charge's gas can be directed to the bullet, rather than being wasted by leaking out the sides of the cylinder, why hasn't the sealed cylinder gap then become standard?

I hear some novice shooters get powder burns if they place a hand near the cylinder gap when firing. A sealed cylinder cap would likely eliminate this hazard.

The sealed gap makes rediculously long and heavy trigger pulls, the nagant has a 17-22 lb pull. Cylinders with a gap work pefectly.


Im wondering how that ots 38 works
