I'm always amazed at the accuracy of my 1895 Nagant revolver!

I got it out again yesterday after some time and loaded it with Fiuchii .32 long wad cutters and popped away. Even with that tough trigger that revolves the cylinder, and pushes it tight to the barrel, it hits very nicely at 15 yds. I used paper plates first then a milk jug filled with water. It seems like I don't spend a lot of time aiming, the gun just comes to the target and puts a hole next to the last one. Wish I could afford to use the standard ammo for it.

Well, I always hit the paper, it's just that they are never all together. I'm all over.
