I have an Astra indigenous manufacturing (Spanish), the 44-caliber Magnum, I do not know if in your country you have known this gun (a revolver). Has six-inch barrel and I have a Venezuelan friend who told me that it is not very good view what you have if you know what?, For me you are the Americans know that most of weapons and so annoying you so much. Greetings from Spain and Merry Christmas, Oscar. I am Spanish My forum:www.armaslargasdecaza.com | ||

The Astra was always regarded as a low priced gun. I am sure it is safe, but, if it were mine, I would not be shooting top end loads in it. FWIW, Peter. Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong; | |||

Astras were once more common than they are currently. Like Peter said, they were not considered high end firearms. Have you shot it much, and have you been able to hunt with it? Merry Christmas If ignorance is bliss; there are some blissful sonofaguns around here. We know who you are, so no reason to point yourselves out. | |||

I confine myself to shoot live ammunition business, because I do not surcharge ammunition. In my country this activity (reloading ammunition) is subject to approval and the completion of a course. Thank you and Merry Christmas, Oscar. I am Spanish My forum:www.armaslargasdecaza.com | |||

I just shot myself with the revolver, its previous owner if he has shot, not know the number of shots he did with it. Spain is banned hunting with gun short, so the only thing to what has been used to make the revolver is pointing on white cardboard. Also Merry Christmas and thank you, Oscar.

Ovny, I don't believe that the Astras have been imported into the U.S. for many years, although a few .44 Magnums were sold in the 1970's and early 1980's when it was sometimes a bit hard to get .44 Magnums that were manufactured in the U.S. As others have already said, the Astra was regarded as lower priced handgun, as was the Llama, also produced in Spain in .44 Magnum. Spain does permit handgun hunting, as you probably know, but the barrel must be at least 12" long.I have been priveleged to hunt 3 times in Spain with my friend Eduardo de Araoz, the owner of Cazatur in Madrid. If you know Eduardo, please give him my regards. Ken O'Neill | |||

I would agree with what the others of said. If it is in good shape and you want to shot low end 44 mag loads in it. You most likely well shoot it a long time. If you shoot high end moster stoppers like some of us use here in the states I would give it a thousand rounds before you shoot it to loose to use safely | |||

I had no knowledge that they could hunt in Spain with a short gun, I am not able to greet his friend, I do not know him but I would if I've heard of Cazatur. Many thanks for your answer, Oscar. I am Spanish My forum:www.armaslargasdecaza.com | |||

Welcome to this site Oscar  . I have owned several Astra Revolvers.While their price was low,they were of a decent Quality.They should handle any store bought ammo you feed them.Mine did.They are kind of a S&W look alike ,with a vent rib.I am not talking Buffaloe Bore or ammo such as that.They ,like a S&W,will shoot loose if fed high pressure loads.I am sure you would enjoy shooting it with target type loads as they are less abusive.
