Astra has no zinc castings but is straight blowback design- steel forgings and machining, heavy slide let it use higher pressure ammunition- 9x19 and the 9x23 Largo/Bergman Bayard than would normally be expected. The Davis and Ravens are the ones with the zinc castings- they use the lower pressure .22, 6.35 and 7.65 common in blowback designs- like Browning 1905- but the use of castings instead of machined steel allows a lower price while still retaining reliable function of the proven Browning design. Ruger did castings years back to reduce cost of basic Mauser copy, they have proven functional. Hi-Point is using a high pressure cartridge in a blowback design like the Astra but is using casting manufacturing methods like Ruger did to proven design to reduce cost to be able to market a cost competitive product with functioanality of basic design- not a fancy futuristic featured product but one with proven, patent expired features. Sorry for the confusion. RN
