I am currently looking at purchasing one of these. (I was going to buy a Nagant 1895 but they are all gone) This has the same look but is a lot nicer, also more expencive. Does anyone have any experience with them? How about the 7.5 swiss ammunition? Is it a piss pot like the nagant? Has anyone found any of this ammo in the last decade? Is there reloading supplies etc? How would this beauty stand up in a self defence situation? Should i just shake my head and move on?

P.S.
I just bought a Rus TT-33, I am now sitting through the Canadian Waiting period before I can go get it. Its completely coated and filled with sticky grease and was jammed down into a leather holster that has since rotted. The surplus store had a number of them and this apparently is the way they came. The pistol itself is in very nice shape. I dissasembled it before i payed and the grease coating made a very nice preservative. I will post pics before and after the cleaning. Hopefully i can restore the leather holster as well...
