I have a half dozen of these and while they aren't my favorites ergonomically thay are well made and excellent shooters. This is a pistol that was designed to be operated under adverse conditions and they do a credible job of doing just that.
There are very few pistols from this period that are as reliable and well built as the Astra Model 21 and they were still carried and used in the WW II period.
