This video explores the Ecia Model 1930 family of pistols, designed by Juan Esperanza as competitors to the renowned Astra line. After parting ways with his former partner, Esperanza patented several pistol designs, including the Ecia Model 1930. These pistols were offered in three frame sizes and calibers (.25 ACP, .32 ACP, .380 ACP, and 9mm Largo), each featuring a double-action mechanism and a slightly higher magazine capacity than their Astra counterparts. Despite design improvements like a better grip angle, the Ecia pistols failed to gain significant traction due to the Spanish military's prior adoption of Astra and a lack of civilian interest, resulting in very low production numbers.
