The M1895 Nagant revolver has two interesting features for a revolver, especially one of its vintage. The first is that it holds seven rounds of ammunition, while until a few decades ago most revolvers held five or six rounds. The second is that the revolver achieves a gas seal and can use a suppressor when firing 7.62 x 38 mm R ammunition, which it was designed for.

With these two features, is there a way that the M1895 could become a popular firearm in film or video games? Is there a setting where these two capabilities might be of interest? Perhaps there could be a dramatic showdown in which the Nagant's extra bullet plays a major role? Perhaps a spy agency decides that the extra bullet and suppression capabilities are useful to have in something as reliable as a revolver?
