The Mateba Model 6 Unica (often known simply as the Mateba or the Mateba Autorevolver) is a recoil operated semi-automatic revolver, one of only a few of this type ever produced. The Mateba Model 6 Unica auto-revolver was developed by Italian designer Emilio Ghisoni in the late 1980’s, and put into production in 1998. Production had ceased in 2004, but after 14 years, it is now available in very limited production.
The Mateba Model 6 Unica auto-revolver utilizes a two-part frame, where the upper is allowed to recoil on rails machined on the lower. The upper holds the cylinder and barrel; the lower hosts the trigger, hammer unit and grip. On firing the upper assembly moves rearward ½”, cocking the hammer in the process. On the forward stroke the cylinder is rotated into its next position. The barrel is aligned with the lower chamber of the cylinder (not upper), in order to lower the bore axis and decrease muzzle flip and felt recoil.
The unique design and engineering results in a pistol that is exceptionally well balanced and highly accurate. It is a pleasure to shoot, with felt recoil comparable to a .38 special. Despite being in production only 6 years this exotic had quickly found its way into pop culture, appearing in many notable films and enjoying a cult following amongst collectors, prized for its superior quality and unique design features.
