Re: Not well known guns - Review

We received a shipment of Astras back in the 60's and 70's when I was selling guns. I can't recall for sure if they were the 600, but I believe they were since we had ammo (9mm Parabellum) for them and I know didn't carry 9mm Largo. The pistols we received were obviously surplus, but were in good to very good condition. We jokingly called them ray-guns. I wouldn't mind running across one now, but of course the prices are far removed from 50 years ago, which was about $35 bucks! :lol:

Re: Not well known guns - Review

I am always on the look out for less than everyday variety and brand guns. I have several, some from well known manufacturers and some from lesser know. IE SIG 232, a couple of Stars, a Sarsilmas CZ75 C clone sold by Academy as the Hancer 2000, an Astra and some others I can't recall offhand. The Sarsilmaz is a very nice pistol, soots well, accurate and was quite inexpensive. My Star BM is also a favorite. I have a couple of Charles Daly pistols as well, but CD was only an importer so one can buy their High Power clone and get one from any of the several manfacturers they used. In fact some HP's were made by two different factories, one being Dan Wesson.
