It was produced in the 1950s, right at the end of Hafdasa&#8217;s existence (coincidence?). When the firm shut its doors, a group of employees took the basic design, improved it in a few ways, and creased a new company called Armotiv SA to produce it under the name Zonda.<\/p>\n<p>The Zonda has a floating firing pin instead of the HA&#8217;s fixed one, and a creative safety machinist which simply cams the magazine down when engaged. As an open-bolt gun, if the magazine is too low for the bolt to pick up a cartridge, it cannot fire. <\/p>\n<p>Both the HA and Zonda are quite rare today, as not many were originally made or sold.<\/p>\n<p>If you enjoy Forgotten Weapons, check out its sister channel, InRangeTV! <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/InRangeTVShow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/InRangeTVShow<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! http:\/\/shop.bbtv.com\/collections\/forgotten-weapons Originally made by Hafdasa (Hispano-Argentina F\u00e1brica de Autom\u00f3viles S.A.), the HA pistol is a .22 Long Rifle caliber, semiauto only, open bolt pocket pistol.
