c1930s ASTRA M1921/400 SPANISH ARMY Pistol 9x23mm Largo
SPANISH CIVIL WAR Era MILITARY Sidearm
Here we present a C&R Spanish Astra Model 1921/400, also known as the Model 1921 Pistol chambered in 9mm Largo and made circa the 1930s.
The Astra Model 400 was a Spanish service pistol produced by weapons manufacturer Astra-Unceta y Cia SA. as a replacement for the Campo-Giro 1913/1916, which had also been chambered in 9mm Largo. It was the standard issue sidearm in the Spanish Army during the Spanish Civil War and also saw service in Germany during World War II. The Spanish Navy, along with the German Luftwaffe and the Chilean Navy primarily used the smaller variant Astra 300 and the Wehrmacht later altered the Astra 400 into the Astra 600 to better handle the 9mm Luger. The Model 400 was considered heavy as in order to handle the power of the 9mm Largo round in a blowback action pistol.
It gained fame among Spanish Civil War veterans as a reliable sidearm, especially under mud and sand conditions, thanks to its hidden hammer, sealing its mechanism from the external elements and its forged slide and frame construction. In addition, it is also an accurate service pistol for target shooting, thanks to its low axis over the hand. A powerful pistol, original 9mm Largo Spanish military loads were on a par with .38 Super factory loads.
