The Ultramatic LV is a semi-automatic pistol that was made by Gabriel & Vojta Sportwaffen Gmbh, later by Wolf Sportwaffen Gmbh of Austria. Its design is based around the CZ 75 pistol with a fixed slide and is chambered for the 9×19mm Parabellum round. It was designed by Dietmar Vallentinitsch. The Ultramatic pistol shares an external resemblance with the Colt 1911 but has a fixed barrel and fixed slide. What moves is an internal bolt, retarded after firing by two locking studs, in a fashion similar to that of the German MG-42 machine gun. Ultramatic called this their "torus segment locking system".

A relatively large pistol, the Ultramatic is about 10 inches long and 6 inches high with a 6-inch barrel. It has conventional double action and a staggered-column magazine holding 17 to 18 rounds or a ten-round magazine to comply with US import regulations. It also has a manual safety combined with a decocker that conforms to IPSC rules.

The pistol was offered in 9mm as well as .38 Super, .40 S&W and .45 ACP. Production started in 1995 but the company closed in 1998, after manufacturing became too expensive for the price they could earn for a pistol. Elements of this pistol design resurfaced as the prototype for the Hogue Avenger.
