Abadie 1886 Revolver

The "Abadie" 1886 Revolver, in 9,1mm caliber (black powder metallic cartridges - 8,35 g lead bullet with a 0,65 g powder load, with 162,1 meters per second out of the muzzle speed), was manufactured by L. Soleil et Fils, LiƩge, Belgium as the standard issue side arm for the Portuguese Armed Forces.



Jorge A. Regalado wrote a very interesting and detailed article about it, in Portuguese, that can be read at: http://www.gnr.pt/portal/internet/gabinete_imprensa/revista_gnr/edicoes/2008/n1/historia/Revolver%20Abadie.pdf
