I do agree with you about the S&W in .44 Russian. I do think that the increase recruitment of new replacements for the Calvary made it a requirement for the new pistol. German
machineguns and artillery made cannon fodder out of many of the Russian Calvary. Standard sidearm for the infantry was the Nagant pistol as well as all the other branch's.
