Actually, 2 Astras today. Wasn't expecting the 400, but it was too cheap to let sit in the case. The .44 is an interesting beast. It is N frame sized, but with a K frame sized round butt. The Pachys are marked as such. It will be fun to hunt for some wood grips. Weird and cheap!
You are on fire!

It was boring to shoot. Somebody else wanted it more than I and had an open wallet.
I have the 45 revolver and thoroughly enjoy it

Never seen another one in 41. Seen quite a few in 44 and 45. I'm thinkin this is one rare 41Mag.

Andrew, that is one slick looking revolver. Can you tell if that barrel (looks like 3 1/2 inches) is factory or has it been shortened?
A fellow could have him some fun and feel quite secure with that thing in one of Rob's pancake holsters. Just sayin'....
These were factory made snubs. (new pic added)

Measures 2.75" . Check out the coil spring setup.

Oh yeah, I remember seeing that spring setup in Stonewalrus' .45. Very slick way of adjusting the pull.
I would have scarfed it up too
