Any expereince with Astra .38special nc-6?

They have these Astra .38 specials 4" for sale used at sog for $119. I am tempted to pick one up for a target/plinking revolver. I am interested in the .38 special because it is known for decent accuracy. But I cant find any info on the Astra brand and have never heard much about them. Is this a piece of junk or are they reliable? Thanks.

Astra pistols were well made and reliable. They should be fine general purpose guns at that price. I don't think they are +P rated, but that should not make a difference.
