This review details the rare JoLoAr .45 ACP pistol, notable for its unique one-handed cocking lever patented by Jose Lopez Arnaiz. Manufactured by Hijos de Calixto Arrizabalaga, it was based on the Sharpshooter blowback design and produced in various calibers, with the .380 and 9mm Largo being more common due to a Peruvian contract. The .45 ACP variant features a tip-up barrel, lacks a trigger guard, and has its rear sight mounted on the barrel.
