The '''JO.LO.AR.''' was a [semi-automatic pistol](/source/semi-automatic_pistol) of Spanish origin and is chambered in various [calibre](/source/caliber)s. It is a development of the '''Extractor Model Sharpshooter''' pistol and was manufactured from 1924 by [Bonifacio Echeveria STAR](/source/Bonifacio_Echeveria_STAR), with patent by J. Lopez de Arnaiz and renamed the JO-LO-AR, hence the designer's initials.

The new design lacked the trigger guard and it was chambered in a wide range of calibres from 6.35×16mm (.25 ACP), 7.65×17mm (.32 ACP), 9×17mm (.380 ACP), 9x23mm Largo, with most pistols exported to Peru in the 11.43×23mm (.45 ACP). The JO.LO.AR. pistols have a distinctive lever installed on the right hand side of the frame (referred as a ''Palanca'') enabling the user to carry the pistol with the chamber empty and in time cock the weapon all with one hand which made it useful especially for the [Peruvian Mounted Police](/source/Civil_Guard_(Peru)) who were on horseback. Many of these pistols were sold in the United States as surplus and can be considered as collectible firearms today.
