    New (to me) Gun!!!

    Picked up my Astra Cub .25acp the other day. Got it on consignment from an estate sale at Huntington's in Oroville for $150. Haven't gotten a chance to go shoot it yet, but I'll post a range report soon. The gun is in great shape...very few wear marks, all very small. Looks like it was carried around back when it was ok to do so and then not used much after that. Magazine looks brand new! All matching numbers.





    So far....I'm happy with it!!

    Most civilization is based on cowardice. It's so easy to civilize by teaching cowardice. You water down the standards which would lead to bravery. You restrain the will. You regulate the appetites. You fence in the horizons. You make a law for every movement. You deny the existence of chaos. You teach even the children to breathe slowly. You tame.

      Now that's a pocket gun! Can't wait to hear how it shoots.

          Cool little pistol
          Yes you can have 2 C&R 03 FFL's; 1 in California and 1 in a different state.

              Where's the gun?

              Oh that smudge on the screen? No, that's just some dust... OH! Right THERE! Wow, that's a tiny gun...

              I think I'd be afraid I'd break it if I tried to shoot with it...

                      Its sooo cuuute!!!

                      Looks like the quality is really decent. People can bag on a .25 ACP all they want, but I sure wouldn't want to take one of those slugs. Not to mention the best performance comes from FMJ's (one cartridge you NEED penetration with).

                      Great buy, I probably would have swooped in on that if I had gotten there first! Those guys at Huntingtons are a good bunch, I try to get in there as much as I can.

                          it's a 1911 in a .25acp package. Same exact gun as the Junior Colt...one of the most popular .25acp pistols ever. Colt paid Astra to be able to import the Cub under the Colt name. it's solid.

                              No, it's not, but be that as it may I think it's a very cool little pistol. Grats

                                  Shoots awesome! pretty darn accurate too (<10yds) when taking the time to use the sights. As expected it's very easy to handle, no more kick than a .22, but it runs 10x smoother. No hiccups with PMC FMJ's. Just need to find some more ammo to really give this thing a torture test and see how it holds up. Anyone know of any good deals on .25acp???

                                      Glad to hear it shoots good. 25acp is very overpriced so good luck on finding any good deals. Big 5 has the Remington UMC 50 round yellow box for $19.99 on sale every so often.
