Yes. The cartridge is loaded with the bullet completely seated below the case mouth. The case mouth is lightly beveled to form a seal against the barrel.
While the round is anemic (think 32 ACP power), the revolver is worth owning simply due to this unique design feature.
As you pull the trigger, the first thing that happens is the cylinder being cammed forward against the barrel. The Nagant seals up almost like a pistol. It's a mechanical joint, but makes the Nagant one of the very few (only?) revolvers that can truly be suppressed.
Reed Knight suppressed a Ruger Redhawk revolver for special ops use, essentially converted it into a short rifle. It started out as a .44, but shoots .30 cal bullets in a Sabot. On firing, the sabot jams against the .30 cal bbl and seals off the gap. I've also heard of a few guys playing around with Dan Wesson revolvers that had the gap adjusted down to almost nothing. Only good for about 6-8 shots before it needed cleaned but supposedly not bad sound reduction.
THATS A GOOD ONE BUT I LOVE THE MOVIES WHERE THEY HAVE THE 3 INCH LONG CAN AND ITS ABOUT 1 INCH DIA AND IT SOUNDS LIKE A AIRGUN .
THOSE LITTLE THINGS ARE ONLY GOOD FOR BEING A FLASH SUPPRESSOR IN REAL LIFE
Found this video when looking at another, silenced Nagant Revolver, I didn't think it was real at first but you can see the smoke after a couple of the shots.

I think I am going to send in a Form 1, then build a damn silencer for a Nagant pistol... it just looks too easy... the hardest part is waiting 4-6 months on the Form 1.
Come to think of movies.
The one in magnum force, for the python they used.:thumbup1:
? did it have a real base of reality.:dunno:
in what appered to be a screw tension clamp on.
No. It just slid over the bbl, they sorta acted like they were screwing it on and off but the underlug and vent rib prevent turning it. If he had actually fired a real round it would have blown off the bbl.
