This video explores the unique Spanish JoLoAr pistol, chambered in .380 caliber. The JoLoAr is a modification of the less successful Spanish Sharpshooter pistol, featuring a distinctive lever (palanca) on the slide. This lever was designed by Jose Lopez Arnaiz, whose name is incorporated into the pistol's designation, to facilitate one-handed cocking. The description touches on a rumored inspiration for the design from a one-armed Spanish Foreign Legion commander, Colonel José Millán-Astray, though this remains unsubstantiated.
