Astra Police Revolver 357/9mm

foxy320 · Dec 5, 2018

Just picked up this gun. Has a 3 inch barrel & 357 & 9mm cylinders. All serial numbers on frame & cylinders match. In great condition & seems well built. All steel & wood. Have some moon clips coming for the 9mm cylinder. Anyone have one or know anything about how they shoot. Looking forward to taking it shooting.

I don't have anything to contribute but I'd like to hear people's opinions on these as well. I see them from time to time. A 3" 9mm revolver sounds good to me!

It sounds interesting. I am looking forward to some photos and your opinion on how it shoots

Never seen a combo revolver from Astra. Would love to see pictures. They were Spanish made and most of their revolvers were basically clones of Smith & Wesson model 10's.

I saw one back in the 80s, unfortunately did not have the money to buy it.

I was curious about this.

At lunch I found this—

FN Barracuda - Modern Firearms

I beleive it is an FN built by Astra. Most of the comments I found were favorable.
