    Went out to squeeze off a few more rounds through my Astra (man that draws a picture don't it, reckon you could take that more than the intended way. :roflmao:) 600 and had a misfire. Went to eject the round and the slide was jammed. If you look long enough and put in the right search words, you can find anything on the net. Found a website that you all may know about - THR - Powered by vBulletin . Anyow everything that I needed to do (firing pin up or firing pin down) was there. Folllowed the instructions and cleared the round with no trouble then finished field stripping the pistol and gave it a good cleaning and lube. Works smooth. I think the problem was caused by some reloads that the guy that I bought it from was using and sent with the pistol. His sizing die is probably off a bit and wasn't sizing the casing back down to proper spec. Anyhow she works good now.:D:D

    BTW: This pistol is easier to disassemble / assemble than my Ruger or Bersa.
