John, I enjoyed your thoughts until you reached the part about the Astra 400/600 series. They do not have the appeal of a Luger but the fit of moving parts is excellent unless you find one that's been worn out. The quality of the machine work is better than most, IMO. I once owned a 600 - purchased new from "Ye Olde Hunter" for $19.95 IIRC - and it had a terrible trigger but was VERY accurate and the fit and finish was exceptional.
