Astra constable 380

[pocketman]

Hey folks, Can anyone tell me about this pistol?
Is it sig 380 size or more ppk size? alloy frame or steel? Theres a mint one FS thats about 15yrs old, husband passed away and wife can't tell me much about it. I'm interested if its pocket size.
Thanks..

It is about PP size, but more streamlined looking. They are pretty fair little guns. I have not fired mine a lot but it seems reliable, with good accuracy about in the class with most small pistols. I have not tried any of the super fancy .380 in it, though, just FMJ.

It is an imitation PPK/S. One thing to note is that it does not have a firing pin block, so if it is dropped with the safety off on its' muzzle it can go off. This also makes it a bad choice for ankle carry.
