Ok, in the pictures of Matebas that I've seen, I've noticed that there doesn't seem to be a topstrap (connecting piece of metal between the top of the barrel and rear of the gun that goes across the top of the cylinder) on the weapon.
Now, I recall reading that one of the problems that made the old break-top revolvers inaccurate and prone to breakage was due to the fact that the top wasn't a solid piece like it was on later revolvers.
In the experiences of those who own or have shot a Mateba, do you think that the lack of a topstrap on the revolver is an inherent problem, or nothing to worry about?
Oh, and what's the accuracy like?
Thanks!
