Interesting pistol. They went to a lot of trouble with the unique cartridges and the design which not only rotates the cylinder but shifts it a little foward to facilitate a better gas seal between it and the barrel. But despite all that the actual increase in performance was pretty minimal as I recall. Definately the heaviest double action trigger pull you will ever experience. LOL!

These are very interesting pistols, I have one that I threaded 1/2-28 for a suppressor and it’s a real hoot! Very quiet. As mentioned, the DA trigger pull is quite obnoxious.

I've read about several that had that done. Would like to see a photo if you don't mind.

just one more addition, I just got a span can of 1092 rounds of Russian surplus ammo for this pistol from Classic Firearms. Price shipped was $234. Fired 50 rounds yesterday. Its good ammo and although not a beauty its a decent functional revolver. Always handy to have as a back up.
