  Sig mags and parts are not compatible. There may be one or two parts that would work but why spend time and money on trial and error.

  I've had nothing but great luck with this gun. One FTF in hundreds of rounds at the range. Anyone know where I can find a .45 Astra. Love the 9mm

  New to this forum so I may not be doing this right.

I want to buy one of each Astra A100 in 40S&W and 45ACP. Can I buy them from this sight or can some one point me in the direction needed to get them?

  I have an A80 in .45ACP that has never malfunctioned in over 20 years of use. Thats saying something. Sure, its no tack driver, but it gets the job done. I have always considered it a combat weapon, so 2" groups are good enough.

  The Astra A-100 (first appeared in 1990) was an attempt to simplify the A-90 design while retaining the high level of operational safety. The manual safety had been removed and the operational procedures are similar to those of the A-80 pistol.
