Anyone shot either the Chiappa Rhino longer barrel models (5" or 6" barrels) or the Mateba Unica 6 and if so, what were your impressions of them as far as handling, accuracy, recoil, etc. are concerned in either the 357 or 44 Mag?? The Mateba looks like a very unique action since it is an auto-loading revolver and not many were imported into the USA from what I have read, and currently very pricy as a collector type handgun if you can even find one. The Chiappa's share design features of the Mateba's but don't appear to be auto-loading and are current production; but the stubby grips look way undersized for the gun; but I am told are necessarily that way given the nature of the barrel placement?

Thanks, Dale.
