So rather than thinking of the weapon as a strange or long, tech path, it's actually an easier tech path given the requirements (aside from the special ammo it used).
The Nagant M1895 revolver is one of the few that an armorer might be able to mount a silencer on. With a revolver, you don't have failure to feed problems, the powder charge has no direct action on the loading cycle.
