It's almost as attractive as the gal holding it...

And I guess finding on here would be next to impossible and rather expensive

Mateba -- Italian design based on Japanese cartoon. First automatic revolver (that I know of, anyway) since the Webley-Fosbery of a century back. Fires from bottom chamber. VERY expensive.

Don't know if they are still in production. Anyone?

Are you sure it's a gal? Beauty is in the eye of the holder and I sure won't be holding either of them.......

I'd choose Fosbery over Mateba any time.

I don't know... any girl that's got a Mateba for "personnal" protection must be an interesting woman to meet!
