Anybody know anything about this Rusky revolver? I am inclined to think the only thing Makarov about them is the round they were chamberd for. I do not think it was one of Fred Makarov designs. It is said that there is a East German example of this revolver. I have seen pics of the Rusky example, odd looking thing it was, about the size of a S&W J-frame. Anyone know if any ever made it to the States? orchidhunter

Do you mean the Nagant revolver? I am not aware of a revolver chambered for the 9x18 Makarov cartridge.

There were some Russian made revolvers chambered for 9x18 Mak. I cannot recall the models. Arsenal of Bulgaria also made revolvers chambered for 9x18 Mak. Good google search exercise for somebody.

Not a 9x18 but an unusual Russkie revolver just the same.

Another 9mm Mak revolver, the Kobalt. Pretty normal-ish though, besides the weird moon clips.
