The Astra Model 4000, also called the 'Falcon', was introduced in 1956. Its primary innovation was an external hammer and the elimination of the grip safety, though the gun retained the grip shape and magazine release of the Model 3000. The rear sight is dovetailed in, making it adjustable for windage. Sales of the Model 4000 were never robust in the U.S., and after 1968 the gun could no longer be imported. Sales were good in the rest of the world however, and the gun was particularly popular in the Middle East. It was discontinued around 1986.

This Astra Model 4000 is in excellent condition and does not appear to have seen a great deal of use. The blue shows some very minor wear on the high points however is otherwise excellent. The grips have minor marks. The pistol appears to have never been fired and the barrel is excellent.
