Well I guess the barrel of the nagant is rounded, and the frame covers the hammer a bit more.

Yes it is a Nagant, and no the Nagant is not a copy. The Nagant is very unique.

The Nagant uses a gas sealing system whereby a metal tube seals the gap between the cylinder and the barrel when the trigger is pulled, a very interesting characteristic for a revolver.

This causes the bullet to have more force behind it and makes the Nagant one of very few revolvers which can be equipped with a silencer. They price in the $150 to $300 dollar range.
