    It is a neat gun for the handloader. NEVER use factory/GI ammunition. It was made for a special guard cartridge. You load it to around 2000 fps with a light 110/125 grain bullet. These conversions were done to aid the Spanish arms industry and they work well when used with the correct ammunition. They will stretch like crazy if you use factory loads.
