I have wanted a Mateba autorevolver for a very long time. Does anyone know if the cylinder locks up for a complete seal with the barrel, like the Mosin Nagant pistol does? The reason I ask is that it looks like an awesome platform to add a suppressor to, but of course that would be pointless if there is a gap between the cylinder and barrel as with most revolver designs.  This pic makes me think that it is likely there is in fact a good seal, but I have never held one in person so it I can't be sure at this time. Thanks for any info. |
| No the chamber isn't like a Nagant. It just fires out of the 6 o'clock position. The recoil is strait back instead of up like other revolvers firing out of the 12 o'clock position. I actually found it to be uncomfortable. I owned two of them recently, both .44s. I sold them b/c I made about $1K on the pair and I like shooting my redhawk much better. They only reason to own one IMO is for the cool factor. |
