It's a Mateba 2006M with a 2" barrel.
http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Mateba_2006M Not much other to explain, except that it takes a bit to get used to indexing the cylinder at the 6 oclock position when loading less than 6 rounds. |

Attached File
My S&W 25-2 .45 ACP. I bought it used in the early 90's for around $400. The original owner butchered the trigger. You could push it off when it was cocked. I gave it to Magna Port for an action job, removed the serrations from the trigger, narrowed it and polished the trigger and hammer. The barrel was cut to four inches and ported, each chamber is numbered and chamfered. Finally the sharp edges of the cylinder release have been rounded. The whole gun was re-blued in a matte finish. The grips are an old set of Herretts that I slimmed down. One of the corners chipped. I need to Acraglass it to fill in the missing wood. |

It is pretty wild, but not too awful. The gun is a joy to shoot between the Performance Center action job and the Lothar Walther barrel.

View Quote Yeah they weren't hardened until about 1918. Any standard pressure lead bullet load would be fine, but I don't think K frames were really ever intended to shoot thousands of rounds (except maybe the K22s) and shrug it off. |

If I edited the post above it's more than likely because I suck at typing. If I didn't, I was either in too big of a hurry or just missed it.
