durable stainless-steel finish.”

Chris in the comment thread said:
“HP's are less likely to result in collateral damage. They're designed to
cause damage to the intended target/threat, not over-penetrate, clipping a
bystander or a neighbor's dog.”

Based on a Luger design. Looks to be maybe a little less pricey than the
Tomcat? Made in Argentina by Bersa, founded 1958, one of the largest
companies in that country, supplier to its military and police.
