It has the worst double action trigger pull ever experienced, the single action pull is only OK, and the 7.62x38r cartridge is one of the least effective of military revolvers. It is on par with .32 ACP energy levels at best. Anyway, I have two of these and they are great fun and quite a challenge to shoot well because of the crude military sights and the other things I've already mentioned.

I have one of these too, made in the Tula Arsenal in 1940. It's special to me because it was captured by the Finns while fighting the Soviets. From studying Finnish history I have great admiration for the Finns.
