The Conquistadores as part of the Jesuits is odd but the Spanish didn't make more use of pistol armed cavalry than any other European civilization. I would say the most prolific users of pistols were the Italians.

If anything the Spanish were for a long time somewhat outdated. This led to several defeats against the outnumbered Dutch who adopted new tactics like increasing their amount of shooters, replacing all crossbows with guns and using lines instead of boxes to maximize firepower.
