Affirmative, if I'm not mistaken, it was the most quiet of any repeating firearm ever produced.KAC experimented with one back in the early 90's I think. Was supposed to be pretty good if I remember right.

I thought that revo's and cans didn't work so well because of the b/c gap?
If thats a standard Nagant revlover, it fires 7.62x25, which is actually easy to find and very very cheap.
The idea was to have a quiet repeating rifle. So you're basically limited to revolver or semi-auto. Revolver is obviously much more quite than semi-auto.wow, that KAC 'revolver' is crazy! I'd think a suppressed levergun or a Ruger bolt action would be better suited if you want a suppressed .44 magnum!
nagant pistol ammo is nothing even close to cheap or easy to find.....
IME, it *is* pretty easy to find (the shop where I work has scads of the HotShot commercial stuff on hand at any given time, and many online retailers carry it as well). That said, it isn't cheap, and it is most certainly not "standard 7.62x25" as the previous poster claimed...
I may be mistaken because I'm not a part of either of the companies that designed them, but I don't think any (at least the KAC) of the designs were really intended to succeed in the marketplace. They were designed for a very specific purpose of which the commercial market really has no use. There are much better designs out there for a quiet suppressed rifle (such as the aforementioned lever gun or bolt action suppressed rifles) but these had a very specific purpose and very specific design criteria. The most important criteria being a repeating design, and extremely quiet operation. Many commercial offerings didn't fit that, so the "wad of money" was necessary to meet the criteria.And you guys are missing the whole point here. Who cares if someone threw a wad of money into producing the perfect suppressed revolver that failed in the market place.
No, no, no.
KAC played with a couple of different versions. One was based on a .44mag Ruger Super Redhawk, and the other was based on a .357mag GP100.The Knight's gun was based on the Ruger GP-100, and was available in a couple different configurations:
