I have an Izhevsk 1945. The double action is quite heavy but the single action is about 4 pounds.
The .32 ACP cylinders are not worth the trouble they will cause you. Once we got one to work the accuracy was dismal. I guess, because the bullet has to jump so far before engaging the rifling.
I rechambered my Nagant to .32-20 Winchester. Accuracy at 25 yards is about 4" from a sandbag. Factory .32-20 ammo is 1/10"+- too long to work in the revolver. I have had to make ammunition short enough to let the cylinder turn. I carry the Nagant in my old truck for self defense.
I have the reamer and would rechamber the cylinder for $40 INCLUDING RETURN SHIPPING. The cylinder would be the only thing I would need to do the reaming. The whole pistol would not have to be sent.
