Early JMB striker fired pocket pistol

The striker-fired Model 1906 pistol was sometimes known as the "Triple Safety," as it had a grip safety, magazine safety and a safety catch.

By 1931, Fabrique Nationale d’Armes de Guerre in Herstal, Belgium (FN) launched an even smaller .25 ACP pistol developed by the company’s chief designer, Dieudonné Saive.
The "Baby Browning" finally made its way into the U.S. market when the Browning Arms Co. decided to carry it in 1954.

Neat little gun with anemic cartridge. I wouldn't mind having one, but I'd never spend money to acquire it. One finger grip, hmmm.

The Colt 1908 Vest Pocket .25 is very similar.

This is my 1917 vintage that was my “covert” carry for a while.

Accurate little beast; that was 5 shots at 10 yards…

I sorta have a thing for the so-called Mouse Guns and have acquired several over the years. While I do have an actual Browning "Baby", when I feel the need for discrete carry I usually turn to my PSP-25 which I bought new in the early 90s. This is an excellent licensed copy of the Baby and in my opinion a better gun. At least the trigger is much better and its been completely reliable.
