One must be very careful with the guns made in Turkey. They look good and will shoot a few times. However, for the most part they have soft steel internal working parts. The bearing surfaces are very soft. They are so soft that the hammers and firing pins will brad over from their own, intended, contact after just a few firings! A word of warning. One of my clients was a repair facility for Huglu and the smith's comment was that the internals needed to be heat treated or case hardened before ever being fired.

You could harden the parts yourself and go on.
