From Service Sidearm to Match Gun: the Astra 400 Target Model
This video explores a rare target variant of the Astra 400 pistol, produced in limited numbers in 1945 and also retrofitted to some ex-service models. Key features highlighted include improved Partridge front sights, adjustable square-notch rear sights, and a specialized single-set trigger with a hammer catch mechanism to prevent doubling under recoil. The description also points to a recommended book for further information on Astra pistols.
