Notes: Gabilondo is an Eibar-based company founded in 1904 to produce inexpensive revolvers, and is actually the parent company of several of the other companies listed here (such as Llama and Eibar), as they soon found themselves so swamped with orders that they had to greatly expand their business as well as subcontracting their work to possibly as many as a dozen other gunmaking companies. One of their more unusual-looking pistols was the Plus Ultra.

The Plus Ultra was based, as many Spanish pistols of the period, on the Browning M-1903, but differed in minor details internally and externally looked quite different, and a bit strange. Built from 1925-33, it figured heavily in the Spanish Civil War, particularly with the International Brigades. (Rumors say that the Plus Ultra was originally designed for export to the Japanese Military, but this is considered unlikely.) Most of the Plus Ultra looks like a conventional Eibar-type M-1903 clone, but the grip is abnormally long, in order to accommodate a single-stack 20-round magazine. Despite this unorthodox construction, it actually sold pretty well – mainly because many Spanish troops and civilians equated a pistol’s size with it’s quality – to them "big" equaled "good." Except for the long magazine and grip, the Plus Ultra was essentially a conventional Eibar-type M-1903 clone. Construction is basically of steel, with bakelite pistol grip plates and a 5-inch barrel.

Notes: This was the standard service pistol for the Italians in World War 1, and many survived in use until World War 2. The appearance is similar to the Luger, though the mechanism is more akin to the Mauser c/96; unfortunately, when used with a grip magazine, this mechanism is not sufficient to reliably cycle a high-power cartridge like the 9mm Parabellum. The 9mm Glisenti cartridge was therefore developed; it is a 9mm Parabellum round with a slightly shorter case and reduced powder load. The Glisenti also has another weakness; the entire left side of the frame is removable, which takes away much of the strength of the frame and tended to fall off at the worst moments.

Notes: This pistol was designed for a variety of shooting match classes, from the Military/Defense Pistol class to various police and military competitions. The pistol comes in a variety of military and civilian chamberings. The PC is basically a match-quality military/police pistol. A variant, the PCS, has a three-chamber compensator at the muzzle of the pistol.

Notes: This is a compact pistol introduced in 1990. It has a short barrel and bears a marked resemblance to the G-90. The safety is ambidextrous and is a combined safety catch/decocker.

Notes: This is basically a bigger version of the Super HSc, with some styling changes to the trigger guard and the shape of the butt. The safety catch is also moved to the slide; when activated, the firing pin is moved completely out of alignment with the chamber and cannot contact the primer of any bullet that may be there. It is meant to fit better in standard holsters than the Super HSc.

Notes: SAB, a relative newcomer to the European weapons field, acquired a license to produce the HSc from Mauser in the mid-1990s. They then made improvements to the HSc to bring it up to modern specifications, and the resulting pistol is almost unrecognizable as kin to the HSc. The HSc80, also known as the HSc Super, is a much larger weapon, with a longer butt to accommodate a 13-round magazine, the grip is reshaped to better suit a two-handed firing style, the barrel is slightly longer, and more calibers are offered. The HSc80 has sold well to civilians and some European police forces.
