…the most powerful production revolver in the world anyway, and that’s just according to the manufacturer. For whatever reason, Russian designers took to creating a revolver to fire their 12.7x55mm cartridge (speculated to be a cut-down .338 Lapua case…), it has been suggested for the purpose of destroying locks and other objects.

Did the Mateba not come first?
E: thanks Firetower. Got to work on my reading comprehension. Additionally, the Chiappa Rhino is a pleasure to shoot and significantly more comfortable compared to a similar high-bore axis pistol. I have a pistol in .38 special that is about the same comfort as another in .44 magnum due to the difference in bore axis.
I think Mateba is the Italian company he’s referencing.
Ah. I’m not sure what I was thinking. Thank you.
I hadn’t realized the designer had passed away. ):
You might have gotten confused because Mateba expanded into having a US division too.
Na I’d just not read it correctly.
