Have you been to Brazil? Most workers make about $65 a month! They live in Shanty towns, with sewage flowing in the streets. Their money is worthless, one of the highest inflations in the West. The poor doesn't know how to read and write. You can not import anything unless you want to pay the 60% duty...You call that fair trade? It's like China, want to export to you, but no imports!!!
About quality, had a friend that bought a Taurus 357, shells went in 5 chambers, but not the 6th!!! Took 3 months for him to get it back from their warranty service center, seems they have a big one, for all the opps that get out of the factory.
I will buy guns from anywhere except Brazil. Their prices should be much lower, like Chinese guns...for the quality that you get.
