Exactly what Shotgunlover writes. There is a "feel" to a well balanced, good handling gun and the current Spanish guns have captured it.

This should be a selling point, but many people cannot tell the difference even if they shoulder or shoot a well balanced gun and then a clunker.

It is truly mind boggling that this feel cannot be captured in cheap guns. It shouldn't cost any more to make a nicely handling gun than one that is ugly to use.

That said, the AyA #2 used to be, in recent years, the largest selling SxS in England. Wonder if that's still true? I seem to recall that they are relatively cheaper in England than in the US.
