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.

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.

Did a Tootle search and I keep getting " Bordello" and it sure don't look like no gun.

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