The Astra A-80 is a double-action, semi-automatic pistol at one time produced in Spain by Astra-Unceta y Cia SA. The design is similar to the SIG Sauer P220 and features a decocking lever.[3] The A-80 provided the first SIG-styled .45 ACP with a nine round, double-stacked magazine. Thirty years later, SIG introduced their own version, the P227, in 2013.
