Guns > Weekly Gun Nuttery

mateba-mtr8.jpg

That's the Mateba MTR-8 revolver, an eight-shot .357 which has the revolving cylinder forward of and below the trigger guard to reduce recoil. Wild stuff.

Jeff Soyer has the Weekly Check on the Bias (complete with a Time magazine reporter who learned to love guns) and Gullyboard has the Carnival of Cordite.

Blake Wylie, professional gun man-model. I wonder if that look is his "Magnum" or "Blue Steel."*

Can't decide which gun board you like best - The Firing Line or The High Road? This thread may help:

The way I see it TFL's more forgiving clearances allow for higher reliability in dusty and muddy environments. THR's direct gas impingement system may allow for higher accuracy, but TFL can shoot "minute of bad guy" at likely urban engagement ranges. As far as terminal effects, a TFL might expand but a THR won't shrink. Sure, TFL has a partially unsupported chamber and is made of plastic, but its lighter weight is a big bonus and it has proven reliability. Buy one of each!

That Mateba is just so hideously and freakishly ugly that I just HAVE to have one...

That looks like the unholy offspring of a Ruger revolver and a Hammerli target pistol. The Ruger must have "had it's way" with the Hammerli after the Hammerli had a few too many drinks.

Hey, that pistol looks familiar.

I only know that because I bought one for junior.
