There definitely were a few bad sxs's that came out of Spain in the 70's. However there were also some of the finest guns ever made that came from the Basque region.

Think of it like this, in the 60's and 70's Ford made both the Shelby Mustang; to this day one of the most amazing production sports cars of all time; and the piece of crap Pinto. Chevy also produced the Corvette and the Chevette. Just as you wouldn't judge all Fords based on a Pinto or all Chevy's based on the Chevette, you should also not judge a Spanish gun maker based on making a gun to target Pinto and Chevette buyers market.

The Basque region of Spain is home to some of the finest sxs makers in the world. Arrizabalaga, Arrietta, and Grulla hold there own against the finest sxs maker's in the world.
