Nothing wrong with a Single Six in .32. I've got one myself. But it's not double action. Nagants aren't for everyone, to be sure.

So was the Colt SAA .45. Which would you rather depend on?

I'd prefer to rely on an arm not noted for a propensity for blowing the users genitalia off if dropped.
A Taurus 85 is so much better suited to any of the criteria that makes the OP even consider a nagant and if used can probably be had for significantly less money.
The days of $250 s&w 38's are over. For those of you not plugged into the RIGHT NOW gun market s&w wheelguns are shooting through the roof right now. Especially snubbies. If you're finding $250 dollar 38's my advice is to buy it and log onto your closest Facebook gun trader group and double your monies

Oh please, nobody with half a brain carries a traditional single action without the hammer down on an empty chamber.

don't forget the nagant has a significant advantage over classic american revolvers: it has SEVEN chambers, so when your adversary says 'you're empty mister' you still got one up yours.

And then you can hit him with it.

Agreed.
I will say however make no mistake it may be a lot of things but it will "Kill", but no not the best choice.

Why is the guy in the photo carrying what appears to be linked 8mm Mauser ammo?
And I'd personally reduce the grenade collection in favor of a spare PPSH magazine. Of course, we can't see his right side. Probably has some more grenades hanging on his belt..and two more Nagants.

That's for when he takes over the German machine gun position. Always be prepared!

IMHO, you'd be better armed with a quality .36 or .45 percussion revolver than a Nagant. The DA pull on the Nagant is heavy enough to be unusable, so it's effectively a single action for most shooters. The ballistics of any of the service-sized percussion revolver will be better than the 7.62x38R.
Now, I'm not actually suggesting that you choose a percussion revolver as a truck gun, since good police trade-in S&W Model 10s and 64s are available. But if Id been russian officer and had to trade in a S&W No.3 "Russian" for a Nagant, I would not have been happy.

While owning a Nagant may be fun...it is an abysmal choice for a self defense weapon.
