Are these good, servicable weapons? I noticed the price has been dropping in the past few months. Does anyone know if they are Spanish police turn-ins or came from somewhere else?

  Good revolvers and a solid design. When Garcia was importing the line back in the early 1970s at a price was about $90 and they were a fine value. By the time Interarms picked up the line and finished selling them in the late 1980s the price was pushing three hundred bucks and sales were slow to non existent. It was not designed for +P ammo, but you can fire +P if you don't mind wearing the gun out faster. Since these pistols have not been in production for over 20 years and spare parts are spotty at best, I'd recommend against doing anything that might cause accelerated wear top the pistol.
