2talltim Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Came across this company, I have never heard of them till now. They seem to be thinking outside the box a bithttp://www.chiappafirearms.com/products/75 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennyb357 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Read info on their website. Pretty cool design. Some serious thought went into these to limit recoil and muzzle recoil. What it doesn't say is where the heck can you buy one? Direct? Only saw distibutors listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmutt Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Wow, those are some beefy fistfuls and THE biggest vent ribs I've ever seen - wonder what the weight is on those long bbl models? Sucks can't look at weaponry on the work computers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlhsv Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 These guys make some really cool guns. Sadly I am poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Why would one want such a monstrosity? The Judge is no longer the ugliest revolver in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 (edited) I remember this company and the design from way back. It's about time it hit market.Putting the barrel at the middle of your fist is an old concept, but not many designs are attempted or are successful.I would look for them discounted at 590 to 740 in the gun shows.

vf1000ride Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Not so much a new design. Google the Mateba Model 6 auto revolver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBBaron Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Why would one want such a monstrosity? The Judge is no longer the ugliest revolver in my book.Ugly, definitelyHowever the idea/concept sounds pretty useful. Put the barrel at the bottom of the chamber instead of the top. That puts the recoil forces more inline with your grip and arm, nearly eliminating muzzle rise. Quicker time to reacquire targets and less noticeable recoil.Because I could care less about aesthetics by only concerns are reliability and weight. This is a new design and the mechanics of the operation seem to be more complicated. And the current weights are pretty heavy compared to other light weight revolvers and definitely compared to subcompact seim-autos.I guess time will tell on the durabilty front.Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jblosser Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Not so much a new design. Google the Mateba Model 6 auto revolver.same guy designed both guns, so not surprising they've a lot of similarities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-bus Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Gun Tests reviewed it in December. Gave it a "C" rating. Three FTF in a revolver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_c_F Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Wow, those prices are at least 50% higher than I've ever seen anywhere else.That is retarded to buy at that price. Do people actually buy stuff from that website? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
