Small Arms And Sidearms

The Landstad revolver was an automatic revolver of Norwegian origin with an unusual feeding device combining a two-round cylinder with a grip-inserted magazine. It was chambered for 7.5mm Nagant, the same round used at the time in the Swedish Model 1887 and Norwegian Model 1893 Nagant revolvers.
