When you think about fine fully auto machine pistols, the Glock 18, Micro UZI and Beretta 93R come to mind. What you may not know is there is an even smaller one handed buzz saw out there, and it comes from south of the border.

The small family run firearms concern of Armas Trejo SA was a powerhouse for durable 100% domestically made pistols in Mexico for over two decades.  Founded in 1948, Mr. Abraham Trejo Solís and his father Don Gabriel Trejo firearms company set up shop in the Puebla state town of Zacatlán de las Manzanas. The town was well known for its local apple orchards and therefore, all of the Trejo family pistols were emblazoned with a stylized version of that fruit.
With a staff of family and friends, they produced a steady output of about 75 completed pistols per week. Between 1948-70, the company produced an estimated 100,000 quality semi-auto and select fire handguns in a number of models.
