This week American Rifleman TV gets an inside look at the Civilian Marksmanship Program.

In the second decade of the 20th century, the Spanish army adopted a curious handgun—the Pistola de 9 millimetres Modelo 1921.

During a visit to the historic Astra plant in northern Spain, Wiley Clapp came across unexpected finds in the armory.

The Spanish Astra 400 pistol, chambered in 9 mm Largo, could also handle other 9 mm cartridges. The design was adopted by Spanish military and police forces, but they were also used by the Germans during World War II.
