I like working class doubles like the condor, the spartans, and such. I've heard good about condor and my new spartan has pleased me. They're sorta not real pretty except in how they perform. They're not ostentatious, put it that way, but you gotta give up something for the money. If I had a little more money to spend, I'd like a Red Label, but I doubt it'd shoot any better than the Condor, frankly. I wouldn't worry a lot about firing pins and such, either. I've an old cheap double, a Spanish built Sarasqueta, that I bought back in 71 that has not had to be smithed in all these years, and it's still tight and still functions, though it's pretty much retired to my gun cabinet. Cheap guns are not necessarily junk, just that they aren't real pretty, well fitted or adorned.
