This is a really fun gun to shoot. Surprisingly accurate at 10M (SA). Rapid fire (DA) @ 6M kept them all in a 6X6 inch square. I got about 77, full power shots per CO2 cart. Crosman 12g carts. worked just fine. Very realistic in weight and operation, a natural pointer. Cylinder locks up as well as any powder revolver I have owned.

Would love to have wooden or hard rubber grips, these are a bit plasticky.

Although I obtained extra "cartridges" I find that the time it takes to reload the 7 "cartridges" allows the CO2 to warm up and recover. PA had the best price ANYWHERE along with their superior service.

Great build, all metal design, nice solid construction. Trigger is excellent in single action.

Give it adjustable sights.

The easiest method of loading the pellets is to leave the shell casings in the gun. Load them from the back. Also, I have the BB version of this gun and it is very accurate. I sent the pellet version back. Evidently I received a defective unit. The pellets came out at a random velocity and it shot 6" high and 6" to the right. PA is awesome, they gladly accepted the return.

I have examples of the real Tula produced Nagant, both Soviet and Tsarist. The Gletcher is an excellent reproduction, compared side by side. The main differences are due to the changes to the hammer made necessary because of the CO2 system. Also the cylinder does not move forward to seal the barrel/cylinder gap as the real Nagant does. The trigger is very good in both DA and SA, far superior to the notorious trigger of the real thing. I have only fired the gun at 7 yards during a shooting session at a pistol range. Reasonable offhand accuracy. Further testing with different pellets are in the future.

Nothing. Availability of extra cartridges would be nice.

Fine replica, metal except for grips, feels great in the hand. A CO2 miser. I've been getting 84+ shots from one cartridge using JSB Exact RS's. For shooting at 5 meters it's a lot of fun and reasonably accurate, much more consistent than my smooth bore BB pistols. The gun doesn't sound too loud to me when shooting outdoors.

Adjustable sights. The fixed sights work well at 5 meters but poorly at 10 meters. One of the vinyl gaskets in one of my shells often drops out if I'm not careful. It's a real pain to find since it's so small. An included pellet seater as is done with my S&W pellet pistol would be quite useful

I will shoot this pistol at 5 meters since I have other pistols for the 10 meter distance and this one is no fun to aim at that distance. No trouble fitting the standard Crossman CO2 into the grip.

There's a lot to like about this new pellet revolver from Gletcher. The fit and finish are superb, the trigger is smooth in both single and double action, it's easy to disassemble and load, and, with it's Lothar Walther barrel, it's quite accurate. The only downside, for those who are concerned, is that it's fairly loud. It comes with 7 brass cartridges in which a pellet is loaded into the rear of, looking a bit like a primer. Additional cartridges are available from Gletcher. Another nice thing is that it comes in a very nice box with a handy parts blowup on the inner lid. Other than the grip panels, it's all metal. All in all, it's a solid package of surprising quality for the cost.

Because of some complaints regarding Crosman CO2 carts not fitting properly in the Nagant BB pistol, you may want to consider picking up a box of Gletcher carts. Authentic leather holsters are available online
