The Story

A piece of Basque gunmaking history.

Astra was one of Spain's great gunmakers, founded in 1908 in the Basque Country, and famous for producing the iconic Astra 400 used by the Spanish military through the Civil War and beyond.

The A-100 series represented the company's modern era — robust, all-metal service pistols that competed directly with SIG and Beretta in the 1990s European police market.

All-steel construction means heft, durability, and exceptionally smooth shooting. There's a tactile satisfaction to firing a quality European service pistol that polymer guns simply can't replicate.

The end of an era.

Astra's larger A-100 series was adopted by Spanish police, the Portuguese GNR, and various Latin American security forces. The company sadly closed in 1997 — making surviving Astras a piece of Spanish gunmaking history.

When you fire this pistol, you're handling one of the last products of a manufacturer that no longer exists. The weight, the action, the craftsmanship — all of it from a tradition that ended nearly thirty years ago.
