Semi auto revolver?

[Gaucho Gringo]

I bought two Matebas before they got totally unreasonable. Glad I did.

What are they like to shoot? Inquiring minds would like to know. Have read some about them.

Holey moley! Someone has managed to hit the tri-fecta.
- ugly
- stupid
- unneccessary
The last 2 times that level of unfortunate creation was attained (that immediately come to mind)...
...was Hillary Clinton's and Barry Sotero's mothers.

It would have been better if it also used gyrojet-trounds.

I saw an animation someone did for a modern version of this. I dont care how impractical it is, I'd love to have one

They shoot nice. Accuracy is good, and with the comp on the recoil is significantly lower than a S&W. Firing from the 6 o'clock position, and the SA action contribute to the lighter recoil as well. I have heard of the grips cracking from recoil, and replacements are hard to come by, so mine only has 12 rounds through it. I had mine transferred from Cabelas in Scarborough, Maine in 2008. Pretty sure I paid 1595.00. Looks as though they go for around 3,500 now. Not at all practical, but I've got plenty other guns that are.

Shooting a Mateba is somewhat similar to shooting a Chiappa Rhino (low axis), but even further reduced recoil.

Mine are both 357's, but I do have a 38spcl conversion spring that I need to try out sometime, which would hopefully extend lifetime of parts/grips/etc.
