"Auto revolver"..? Reckon that means double action..in this case?
Not a bad looking arm though.0 -
Nope, truly semi automatic, like the old Webley-Fosberry. Each pull of the trigger not only rotates the cylinder but recocks the weapon. 0 -
Info from:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mateba_Autorevolver
The Mateba Autorevolver (also Mateba Model 6 Unica) is one of the few types of hybrid automatic revolver handguns developed by the Italian gunsmith Sergio Mateba. The revolver is not automatic in the traditional sense of firing as long as the trigger is depressed, but called "automatic", because it uses the energy of a fired shot to rotate the cylinder and cock the hammer for the next shot technically making it a "semi-automatic".
The Mateba Autorevolver's barrel alignment is different from most other revolvers. The barrel is aligned with the bottom of the cylinder instead of the top. This lowers the bore sight (line of the barrel) which directs the recoil in line with the shooter's hand thereby reducing the twisting motion or "barrel flip" of normal revolvers.
There was a modified Mateba Autorevolver called the Mateba Grifone, which was nothing more than a Mateba Autorevolver with an 18 inch barrel, forward stock, and rifle butt.
MA.TE.BA also made sporting and defense versions of the Colt M-1911m in .45-ACP, .45-HP and .9x21mm-IMI calibers. In the late year 2005 / early year 2006, MA.TE.BA has proceeded to the Italian equivalent of filing Chapter 7, Title 11, United States Code bankruptcy, and is thus out of business.
[edit] Note
Mateba Autorevolvers designed for using .357 Magnum rounds could be loaded with .38 Special ammunition but most .38 Special rounds do not have enough power to operate the cylinder rotation mechanism. However, a weaker recoil spring designed specifically for .38 special loads can be purchased as a separate accessory.0 -
Interesting indeed. 0 -

Did he say that? Yep, I believe he did. Well a least the last girl at closing time is agreeing with him..
That thing'd puke a buzzard of a gut wagon!!!!0 -
I like the way it combines
-the complexity of an auto
-the capacity of an revolver
-the bulk of both, but in a package from a bankrupt company that no longer makes parts0 -

Tobe, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder ... no, I take that back - it is butt ugly! One thing is does well is stabilize the muzzle. I have .357 ver and that muzzle moves like I was shooting a .32. It's amazing what that 1 1/2" or so shooting from the lower chamber makes. 0 -
