History
History
The Isard pistol was designed by the CIG and some exiled Basque gunsmiths. It was ordered and approved by the Generalidad de Cataluña, and was put into production. Total production was approximately 300 units.
Design
Design
Stylistically, the Isard's design resembled the M1911 pistol. However, the Colt M1911 incorporated a locked-breech design and used a.45 ACP round, whereas the Isard pistol was a blowback design and used a 9x23mm Largo round. Two models of the pistols were made. The first model was made with a one part body of the gun (like almost every gun). The second model had several small changes.
