Ever hear of a Bodeo ?
Ever hear of a Bodeo ?
Got my new issue of Handguns magazine and there is a pic and short story about a Bodeo revolver, an Italian military issue, packed a decent punch with a 10.4mm cartridge. Story says it is very slow on the reload and ammo is basically roll your own. I bet JYD has 2 or 3 of them but it was new to me and fun to learn more cool milsurp history.

I know of them, but I don't have any that I know of, I never was muchg of a handgun collector.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

It looks simlar to revolvers of that age, nice. There are a few on GB right now. Other than that the only time I have heard the word Bodeo is from some old '20's movies. There was a slang saying...bodeo-o-doe.

Haven't heard that term in a month of Sundays, my dad used that term and others he learned in the Navy in WW2.
