Tom,
One thing that seems to stick in my mind on guns made in countries not established as quality producer of guns is the question of steel quality and appropriate heat treatment. As I'm sure you've encountered, there are some lessor quality makers/models made in Spain and other countries that the heat treat or steel quality was less than desireable. I may be in the minority here on this concern, but it would greatly ease my concerns about the quality of the gun if the subject of steel quality and heat treatment (hardness) was covered in the reviews by journalists when dealing with gunmakers/sources that have not established a reputation of high quality.
