Default UNAMERICAN HANDGUNS: DANI'S ASTRA .38 SPECIAL SPORT-REVOLVER

This is the introduction of the Astra Sport .38 Special. The spanish gunfactory built this gun many years ago. The highly polished surface, the blueing,
the pure single-action, the lockwork and timing is first class. The rearsight and the frontsight delivers a great sightpicture.
The frontsight is changeable.



The gun shows some very good solutions.
1: The DA-function is not in operation. The cylinder turns, but the hammer don't move, when you pull the trigger.
2: One can adjust the triggerpull with the screw on the back of the grippiece. No opening of the gun is necessary. The screw got direct influence to
the spring of the sliding-piece.




3: The ring in the grippiece got 4 holes with different depths for the main spring. Turning this ring one fourth, will change the pressure of the hammerspring in a fast and easy way

4:The uncommon remaining material on the grippiece adds additional weight and you can hold the gun very stable in the hand.

Dani payed less than US$ 350.-- for this gun. In my eyes is this not to much for a gun with this quality.

Any comments? We take them all.


Dani and Swissman
