ASTRA 2000 Cub 22-Short Semi-Automatic Pistol Tabletop Review - Episode #202322

The ASTRA 2000 Cub is a Spanish-made small vest pocket pistol identical to the more popular Colt Junior Pocket Pistol. The ASTRA 2000 Cub was imported to the U.S. as the Colt Junior or the FIE Model A27. The ASTRA 2000 Cub was produced from 1954 to 1998 and imported into the U.S. between 1956 and 1964. It’s an extremely small, six-round, single action, blow-back pistol. ASTRA firearms are known for their quality of design, construction and performance. Chambered in the 22 Short or 25 AUTO, the ASTRA 2000 was originally designed as a self-defense pistol. By today’s standards, the 22 Short round is viewed more as a small varmint and short-range gallery round. Includes range activity and a demonstration of disassembly and reassembly.
