As a matter of fact they do.[:)]

I've had the 400, 600, and 300.
They have the distinction of being the only foreign guns that the NAZI's issued without reproofing them themselves. They accepted Astra's proofmarks verified by Spanish workmen.

I've got a 600. Interesting pistol. Thought about getting one of those Spanish destroyer rifles to go with it.

I have a 400 I've had for many years. It was made in 1924 and has the Caribinero stamping on the front end. Will chamber and fire 9mm Largo, 9mm Steyr, 9mm Luger (no don't do this) 9mm Colt acp, 9mm Colt Super, (no don't do this either) and probably other 9mm's. Would certainly like to get my hands on a 600 too,

I picked up a .22 Astra Constable a few years back, during the ammo drought. Someone had sold it to the local big box store. It won't cycle with the crappy bulk-packed .22 ammo, which is probably why the previous owner dumped it. With CCI mini mags it runs flawlessly. A very well made little gun for $199. I'd buy another at that price.

I have had several models, only one now is the nazi WW2 one. That one there is mighty FINE looking.[:)]

The Nazi's used all of the "Potato Gun" models in various serial number ranges. The 600 is the most common though.
