I have a "collection" of affordable-to-me German police pistols. (no Sig 210, Walther P88 or H&K P7) and that is the only justification for a silly piece of history, an Astra 600/43.
Heavy, heavy, heavy, it's a double hernia to carry; you need a block & tackle or chain hoist to rack the slide; I hook the trigger to the trailer hitch on the car and do 0 to 60 in 5 sec to make it go bang; and barn doors are safe at 10 yards.
Otherwise, it makes perfect sense to own one.

You've never shot a Nagant revolver, apparently.shot one with 70 yr old ammo... i agree, nastiest trigger i've even had the misfortune to encounter..
There's one on Gun broker, converted for 32. S&W Long for around 275.00I’ve always wanted one of the revolvers. Ant one point they were cheaper to get but ammo was an issue. There was once a 32 acp cylinder for those?

Don't worry about it. I have a bayoneted 1897 Trench Gun and I've never cleared a trench with it either...My buffalo rifle... 1885 Winchester high wall in .45-70. Have never shot a buffalo with it...
