Astra constable grip

[Battis]

My Astra Constable .380 had problems feeding and ejecting. I tried different loads, and factory ammo, with no luck. I finally found a recoil spring made for that gun and sure enough, it cured it. It feeds, fires and ejects perfectly (factory ammo). But today a chunk broke off the right side grip. I'll repair it. There's the same grips on ebay but the right side grip has an obvious repair in the exact place that mine broke. Maybe it's a common problem with that gun.
The other gun in the 2nd pic is a Melior .32 ACP. Nice shooter, narrow and light.

Nice pistols you have there!
The Melior looks a lot like a Browning/FN 1900.

The Melior .32 is an Old Model 1909 (Type 11). Apparently they came very close to the Browning FN without copyright violations. The recoil spring is on top, over the barrel.

I saw those black grips on ebay and a few other places, but if you look at the left grip on mine, it has a thumb rest.

So, the Constable is a Walther copy, and the Melior is a Browning copy.
