Ever finish this ?

thank you for sharing. i enjoyed the video. now i want an astra police revolver. i have a 960 which is older and bigger.

I bought my Police model in '81, it was in 357 mag

How can I get this piece?? Is there a website?? I am from Saudi Arabia and please reply if I can get it

Just saw this and i wanted to share my experience. I bought a dissembled Charter Arms 1979 Undercover .38 Spl +P in much the same shape it without rust or pitting in 2022 as a future backpack revolver and I have to say I was extremely impressed with their Customer Service. It was completely torn down and in pieces. I was missing the guide rod and all the springs. I called them up to see what it would cost to get the parts and explained what condition the firearm was in and what was missing. I also found a crack in the chamber between a cylinder wall so I also needed a Cylinder. The bluing was worn and otherwise in good shape. After I got done explaining yourself to the woman in customer service They sent me a prepaid label to send it in so I did. 11 days later I got a tracking number for the return and when I. Allied them to see what I owed them I was told that it had been talked care under warranty repair. Charter arms also reblued the entire revolver except the hammer. The DA pull was set at 9.2 lbs on the 38spl revolver and the SA pull is at a amazing 2.3 lbs and rivals a couple of my S&W’s. I cannot be any happier with a company. When I got it the work order was stated as reblue and hand fit and time a New .38 SPL +p cylinder and tune. Boy did they do a great job. For something that was going to be a backpack and glovebox revolver I have no issues with doing what I intended to do with it but it also fell into my summer EDC rotation. I now have a .357 and a .44 Spl and while giving up a hole with those purchases I gained a whole new perspective on a great company. $76 for deductions six dollars to have it shipped absolutely nothing to get a beautifully functioning fire in parts are. It’s like you said if the company is gonna stand behind the fire or you bought is a project fully expecting to have to put another hundred dollars or so Into off my complete support especially being manufactured in the United States

How could I have a 357 barrel ?

A curios point for me about the 38/44 are colt revolvers. Specifically the New Service and the Official Police/Officers Model 38. Colt I know did advertise that any of their 38 special revolvers could handle the 38/44 cartridge. A 1933 catalogue I saw touted that the official police could be fired with the standard 38 special, the 38 special police (the 190-200 grain loads) and the 38/44 heavy duty. I’ve never spoken to anyone who has run +p 38 special out of a colt but it would be interesting to send a few through a “sacrificial lamb” to see if colt was telling the truth or if the advertising was bunk. Edit: after checking again the D frame Police Positive special WASNT advertised as being able to handle the 38/44 load.

The music is trash 🗑

All charter arms 38s are +p rated they just don't recommend it because they didn't notice much velocity gains.

I own that same revolver . Had it for over 30 yrs and still love it !

why didn't you just use the Pearce baseplate for retention as designed?

I saw a comment on another video saying to clamp the ores down evenly and then install your hinge. That way when you close the press the pressure is evenly distributed. Thought it was a good idea and wanted to pass it along.

I own three Police Bulldogs, two four inch barreled variants and a mint snubby like yours. Also have a new Police Undercover and just won a "Clyde" variant on Gunbroker. I enjoy the CA six shooters!

Don´t you have a video testing the loads you did? How was the results?

Most Astra police were .357 Magnum caliber, that is why the cylinder is long for a .38 Special, this one must be .38 Special only because internal regulation of some police departmen in a Spanish city or county. I think a good Gunsmith could coverted easily to .357 magnum caliber.

Sounds like this is one that will protect you . It’s your grab gun…

Why an adorable tiny..Good Job my man.

Rad, Easier than I thought and the knee pads are seemingly a great idea.. Sheesh, I hope that’s unloaded…(I am quite sure that it is unloaded, but the fire/Can bit tossed a wrench in my “safety conscious” assumptions…No I know the “Other” reason Peeps always check and clear on vids..)😉👍

Dude clean that thing, it is yucky. Charter arms may not win any awards but they are reliable and tough. I have a southpaw that I purchased in 2018, it has an amazing trigger and is a nail driver. I picked up some g10 professional grips for them and the firearm is actually very appealing in addition to working great. I like it.

love that slide/frame flush lockback ... also show working the safety/hmr along w/ the mag capacity

not the factory ones?how much do the Pearce grips add?

Where can I get the 357 to swap out my 38 cylinder ?

Nice and easy! Now all I need is an HP!😂 Great video, look forward to seeing your weird schtuff!!🤘

Awesome man!!

Nice and stable griphold! SFS equipped?

How's the grouping? That extra weight holding the barrel down a little more?

I've seen a guy restore one of these.

Boy I sure wish they would make a six shot now. Great vid sir.

Во дерево,вот теперь класс!

I love the old classics. I've been carrying snubnose revolvers for almost 7 years now, and flat out love them.

@BlakeMakes looks good! hope you got the main spring tool. I hear it's a pain to put back in without one.

Among others, I have an interesting collection of Astra’s and Llama’s all of which are fine guns. And they were all cheap.

Stay safe and warm too! I cant wait to see the progress on the walker!

you have work on the grips, and trigger guard, but you will get there

I have the Undercover/ w 3" barrel & Bulldog .44 Special w/3" barrel. Both great affordable guns!

I'm assuming the primers didn't damage the barrel? Either way, neat experiment. I was wondering what to do with my spent primers.

Damn, I hoped I had thought of this first 😁. Good stuff man thanks for the upload.

Nice review, through and thanks for the manual!! Just picked one of these up for $100, my wood grips went up to the trigger guard area tho

i have a fn barracuda .357 mag from the same factory,great gun

Do you still have this 38

Where in WA is that shooting spot?

Great job two thumbs up 👍 👍

Your's is in the best condition of all the picks I've seen online to date.

Nice video! Did you try them extensively after? I'm afraid the firing pin will dig a hole into the plastic glue.

Haha were you trying to make it look like you were the guy who almost blew his head off lmao

I kinda like my astra, I believe I have this same length but mine is 357. I’m looking for a holster for it but so far I just have a nylon one size fits all holster but it’s made for a longer barrel.

a true hero

4 hour edit right here. 😂

What are those Pachmayr grips you have on? Do they have a mark or number inside them?

COuld easily get a 357 reamer and chamber it up for 357mag. They are close to an N frame. Good deal.
