Astra Model 44

The Astra Model 44 is a large, double-action revolver chambered in.41 Magnum,.44 Magnum, or.45 Long Colt with a six-shot, swing-out cylinder, similar in design and features to the Smith & Wesson Model 29 N-frame revolver.
It was manufactured in Spain and imported into the United States by Interarms under catalog number 55000. It was sold through distributor Lew Horton in the 1980s.
A shorter barrel of 70mm snubnosed variant called the "Terminator" was produced by the John Jovino Gun Shop. Due to the short barrel, this pistol features fairly heavy felt recoil and a large muzzle flash. Sales of the variant stopped in 1989 due to limited demand.
