The firing pin is incredibly long and crooked as I recall. Butt ugly and crudely industrial looking.

Not even close to the weirdest.

Beautiful like Russian tank. Strong like Russian woman.
The addition of the pivoting loading handle was creative. Though I don't know why the Russians believed hand-loading a revolver the traditional way was inefficient. Pistol is beautiful to be honest. However too many actions just to fire the gun. 12-20lb trigger pull sounds exhausting. Doesn't make sense to over complicate simple proven designs.
What is the standard FPS for a service pistol?

A co-worker has one (and ammo), interesting revolver.
