Had a coworker wanted to get rid of an Astra .38 revolver. Good deal, and I didn't have one, so what more was there to do?

He brought it over today, and we went to the range. After my .9mm (Makarov) and my .380 (Bersa), that thing was heavy and not very well balanced. I think the thing to do, on the range at least, is to shoot it first, then the others will feel like nothing. :D

Double-action made me feel like it had a 2-yard trigger pull. Single action was much better.

Life is good.
