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.{{cite book|last = Jones| first = Richard| title = Jane's Infantry Weapons 2009-2010 | publisher = Jane's Information Group| year = 2009| isbn =978-0-7106-2869-5}} 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.
