Mule Deer...there have been several good articles on the softness of Spanish guns, The American Rifleman magazine, and others did some stuff on that. This is why you don't see Spanish guns around much, they don't hold up, all their pistol makers are belly up.
In W.W. 1 the French were desperate for handguns and bought lots of them from the Spanish, but all the parts had to be made extra heavy as the steel was soft. I wonder if this is part of the Hispanic culture as the guns made in South America are also soft, ask anyone who has purchased Taurus, Ruby or Rossi. I think they make them that way as it saves on the wear and tear of the cutting tools when they make them. Problem is I won't buy guns made in those countries.
