Hello Faraway:
Can't comment on the .45LC caliber Astra
revolver; but many years ago I had a 4"
in .357 magnum. Beside's being a bit on
the heavy side (equal's a Smith model 28);
remarkably, the gun was an excellent shooter,
I shot quite a few handloads in this gun
while saving up enough money to purchase
my first Smith.
Best Wishes,
