good call on the "nagant" relover. I am very surprised that concept hasn't been duplicated. even if it didn't end up making that much of a difference, the gimmick factor lone would get the gun community buzzing. I think a lot people have misconceptions about gap bleeding and thinking it has considerable effects of velocity, although I disagree, that would b the perfect gun for those people. or the very few that would invest in silencing a revolver. regardless, neat design and one of a kind as far as I know, I would like to see it duplicated one day, you could even pitch it as being safer, no burns to your thumbs/whatever in an unconventional SD situation, and less blow back to the shooters eyeballs....
I once sht a .38 special up against a folded blanket, the cylinder gap escape burned though five ayers of a thick cotton blanket, the gas escape is more violent than I would have thought, although I don't believe it to detrimental to velocity over a closed system. what is it, like 25-35 FPS?
