Ain't it great? They are a result, initially, of the troops selling off the armories in the post breakup period when they were not getting paid reliably. The one I did not pick up but should have is a Nagant revolver. Came with holster and lanyard. It has a cylinder that moves forward as you pull the trigger to seal with the barrel in order make the revolver silenceable and looks to be straight out of an old Red Army Over-the-Top poster from WWI or so. It was on sale hereabouts in mint condition for $95 in the 90s.
The problem with that gun is the special ammo it requires. Folks who reload can use a more common cartridge, but the original Nagant ammo is unique - the bullet is recessed into the casing. You can get Russian yellow box "target" ammo for that, but it is too expensive for plinking.
What I would like is a TT-33.
