Range Report: Mateba 6 Unica "Hunter" Autorevolver (.44 Magnum) - A rare unicorn firearm

In this Range Report I am given the opportunity to shoot and review what some people think is a "Holy Grail" gun. This firearm is a Mateba Model 6 Unica Autorevolver chambered in .44 Magnum. This gun blends a revolver with the action of a semi-automatic pistol to create a unique and one of a kind gun. These were made for only a few years and are now considered to be very rare here in the U.S.. This video documents my personal thoughts, opinions and experiences with this unique firearm. Yours may vary.

    Heck yeah these are something else!! I can see why nobody has adopted the patent only for the simple reason of it's dual charging methods is probably a labor of love. Very cool Jack shared another awesome piece thanks gents!

    Mateba's name and design were bought by a company located in Treviso instead of Ghisoni's hometown of Pavia. They promised new production in 2020 with distribution in US by Kommandostore. Needless to say, they failed to deliver and the company, Mateba Italia, went bust due to legal troubles of the owner in Spring 2022. They were also, allegedly, making a lot of other firearms, including precision rifles and AR models.

    The Webley-Fosbery Automatic Revolver was introduced in 1901. Automatic revolvers really never caught on to the gun shooters. The magazine style pistols just keep on leading the way.

    Chiappa needs to bring that design back to along with their existing line, with '24 updates, even though they did not make the original... if they don't, maybe Daniel Defense can take it on since they re-enginered the Hudson H9

    This is one of my Unicorn guns. I'd love one... wish the new imports didn't turn out. If I had the money, shop, etc, and could get the rights to make and sell them, I would.

    We came so close to getting another run of these in the US, but COVID ended up shutting that down. The company that was going to do it folded a couple years later

    I would like to see the difference in recoil with the compensator on it. Great videos man. You definitely got my subscription today. Edit... I would also love to know how fast you can empty that thing with that great trigger.

    ​@@thetexasgunvault the Rhino was designed by Antonio Cudazzo with the blessing of Emilio Ghisoni (Mateba's founder). Cudazzo sought the approval and input of Ghisoni as his designs surely inspired the Rhino... and to associate Ghisoni's name to it.
