I would also have to go for the Giffard if judging on pure elegance alone, but as I like to shoot my pistols regularly ease of use must come into the equation so the ABAS Major represents the perfect compromise. Being a concentric design means the pistol is compact with very clean lines including the cocking lever which sits neatly under the cylinder.
This pistol is also one of the very few to have a tap loading system which further adds to its appeal and provides an excellent airtight seal.
