Whether true or not, the CYQ pistols always had a reputation as being suspect in quality because CYQ, (Spreewerk) used a high percentage of slave laborers, which tended to sabotage German production. I have seen one CYQ pistol with a cracked slide, which showed evidence of a sawblade cut on the inside of the slide rail to weaken it, but I don't know how prevalent this practice was, considering that being caught implied a death sentence.
