Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Astra Modelo 400 is a notable example of early 20th-century firearm design, originating from the Spanish weapons manufacturer Astra-Unceta y Cia SA. Designed as a semi-automatic service pistol, the Astra 400 was developed to replace the earlier Campo-Giro 1913/1916 model, which had also been chambered in the 9mm Largo round. The Astra 400's specifications are impressive: it features a blue finish, a barrel length of 6 inches, and checkered synthetic grips, giving it both durability and functionality in combat scenarios. Its fixed sights and standard markings contribute to the pistol’s straightforward design, ensuring ease of use for military personnel. Chambered in 9mm, the Astra 400 was the standard-issue sidearm for the Spanish Army, famously used during the Spanish Civil War and later by German forces in World War II, demonstrating its significant role in various conflicts.
 
The design of the Astra 400 was particularly suitable for military applications. To manage the power of the 9mm Largo cartridge, it featured a reinforced slide and a robust recoil spring, making it somewhat heavier than other pistols of its time. The internal hammer mechanism, which protected the firing components from mud and sand, further enhanced the pistol's reliability in adverse conditions—qualities that were recognized and appreciated by Spanish veterans of both the Civil War and the conflicts in Africa. Although it faced early criticism from some American firearms experts as being overrated, the Astra 400 has since emerged as a unique collector's item, revered for its accuracy and performance in target shooting. With a production total of approximately 106,175 units, the Astra 400 remains a powerful and important piece of military history, particularly as original 9mm Largo military loads have been compared to .38 Super factory rounds for their effectiveness.
