Today for the monthly BackUp Gun Match I am using a Spanish JoLoAr pistol in .380 ACP. It’s an interesting piece designed with a lever on the side that allows it to be cocked one-handed. It has no trigger guard or safety, a single-action-only firing mechanism, and a tip-up barrel. They were made in four different calibers, with .380 and 9mm Largo being the two most common. Check out my previous videos on the system here:

“(…)interesting piece designed with a lever on the side that allows it to be cocked one-handed(…)”
JO.LO.AR was not designed from scratch that way, but was created by altering Arrizabalaga Sharp-Shooter see 1st image from top https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Arrizabalaga_Sharp-Shooter
Dear Mr. M: I don’t know if the Spanish language has changed since my grade school language lessons, or if you are speaking in some southwest US regional dialect, but one does not introduce oneself with “Yo soy …” (“I am…”). One says “Yo llamo …” (“I am called/named …”). German is similar, with variants. A new acquaintance will ask, “How are you called?” Only a policeman or passport officer will say “What is your name?” Congratulations on good shooting with a bad gun.
Close. It’s “Me llama…”
C&Renal did a deep dive into the Joloar pistol. History Primer: 187. I also seem to remember you did a video on a 45 ACP Joloar.
