I always thought that a S&W Russian pistol would be better due to the cylinder moving forward to seal the gap.

That’s the Mosin Nagant revolver. The S&W Russian was a .44 break top.

Absolutely! For a while there was a glut of those pistols from Russia and their ammo. Many ground off the front sights and threaded them for suppressors. Check them out on Youtube. About the best vehicle for suppression. If I were a hitman...

I’ve seen where they’ve done it with Nagants, which is what you’re thinking of.
