German Ordered Astra 9mm

Very nice. I find the Model 300 to be more attractive. To me the smaller dimensions permitted by using 7.65mm improves the proportions. My 600 looks ungainly, my 300 looks more balanced.

I have both a 600 u. a 300 with WaA. Both are fun to shoot!

I am actually looking for an Astra 300! I will buy yours!

Years ago I had a friend who was an editor for gun publications, he had a cut-away Astra 600 that came from Spain

The Italian 9mm Glisenti (1910) was designed to use a reduced loading of the 9 mm cartridge because of the weak design

I have a couple of the Astras, a 600/43 and a 1921 (400). Fun and interesting, but the triggers are pretty wretched , especially the 600's.

This is an interesting thread. Are there any known German units that were issued the 600/43's or detailed information about their use? Way back when I had a Guardia Civil which is a copy of the Astra 400. Sold it off in a moment of weakness--dang! Salt Flat

I have a 400 which will not fire largo so I believe a sleeve was inserted for 9mm. That works fine. 400's were not made in 9mm to my knowledge.
