In 1956, brothers José and Andrés, Zaragoza founded the Zaragoza Arms Factory in Mexico City, near Mexico City International Airport.[1] The first weapon made by this outfit was a single-shot rifle .22 caliber.
Later, they started manufacturing the .22 caliber semiautomatic pistol Corla model, which was named in honor of two dealers with the surnames Larios and Cordova. As for the brand logo, the letters H and Z correspond to "Hermanos Zaragoza".[2][3]
