ETA-Kar, with a shoulder stock, the Borchardt would have made a dandy carbine.

I own a 357 Chiappa 60DS and knew they were developed based on the Mateba designs.

Which leads me to what I think of as one of the stranger/unique guns. The Mateba Unica 6 Autorevolver.

Now, the Mateba Grifone version with a 18-inch barrel, hand guard and butt stock in .454 Casull is something I'd love to see.

The "Nosorog" is new to me. Did Chiappa copy the name? Nosorog means Rhino. And there seems to be little information about the Nosorog that doesn't seem to be simply CGI 3D models. Or specifications given in on gaming sites.

I already found the hype and marketing copy for the Chiappa annoying because they totally ignore the Mateba heritage. Great gun though and very happy that I purchased it.

In my collection of "unique" is a Drulov Model 75. A bolt action, single-shot, hair-trigger target pistol.

For modern unique guns, I go with the Mateba 44 Mag. It is quite comfortable to shoot.

Here I thought "seen" meant "seen", not "heard of a prototype that never entered production"

I thought the same thing.

It's funny; as I read through this list, I realize I've handled or shot most of the ones people think are strange or unusual... Maybe becase I'm strange and unusual???

FG-42
StG.43
Budischowsky 22, 25, 380
