Cordoba..... Cordova.... Rich Corinthian leather.

Looks like a conventional browning blowback action, hammer fired with a Modular back strap. Trigger guard reminds me of the Walther P99, but the rail on this seems to have a cover. The grip makes me think of the Bull family of 1911s. Slide mounted safety aggressive texture on the slide and frame. Modern not bad.

Well Tattoo, the weapon is based on the same basic operating and operation of the venerable CZ75, this also form the core of the Sig, IWI Jericho and a number of others popular sidearm issued world wide. As such the operational theory is sound although... I saw a video of its operation where is failed to Cycle on first shot so it might need some work bit that could have been a fluke or a prototype.

defensa.com) After nearly 40 years of service, having been the first importing country in 1975, the FAU will terminate the military to be the first instance of EMB-110 Embraer exported, to which was added in 1978 a unit.

The FAU 580 has completed countless missions in recent decades, from the regular passenger while he was in charge of Tamu, a unit of the FAU, in agreement with Pluna devoted to this task, including an international flight for a short time from Montevideo to Bage, in southern Brazil, to complex logistics transfers to Punta Arenas to connect to aircraft traveling to Antarctica and so supply the Uruguayan base

También ha desarrollado transporte de órganos, salidas aeromédicas, servicios diplomáticos en el Cono Sur (inclusive largos trayectos Montevideo-Brasilia, vía Porto Alegre y Río de Janeiro), traslado de delegaciones deportivas o académicas hacia algunas capitales sudamericanas y la formación de pilotos de transporte en aeronave multimotor.
Su destino será el Museo Aeronáutico “Cnel. (Av.) Jaime Meregalli”, ubicado junto al Aeropuerto Internacional de Carrasco. Los otros dos Bandeirantes remanentes, sometidos a rigurosas inspecciones regulares-el 580 ya lo había sido en 2009 y 2011- seguirán en actividad por un apreciable tiempo más en la FAU, superando los 40 años de servicio.
