Review: Mateba 2006 M an upside down Italian 357

When most think of a revolver with a 6 o clock barrel position, they think of the Chiappa Rhino. However, Emilio Ghisoni s Mateba company produced another gun with this configuration in the late 80s and early 90s in the model 2006M. It was the forerunner to the more famous 6 Unica autorevolver, though this revolver is NOT semiautomatic. They were never imported to the United States, so I had to bring mine over from Europe by myself. They perform fantastically at the range and are among my favorite shooters
