Fur the 1895 cylinder moves forward to mitigate gas loss. Which results in a 638 lb trigger pull.
Only hits count.

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.

That ammo needs to be circumcised. Yep Its a PIA to reload too. Did 50 rounds yesterday. You have to set the bullet back and crimp the edge for it to seat in the barrel. Have you tried loading them normal, and then dumping them in cold water? 😂

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.
