Ah , a different question was presented above. Very few .25acp will be carried ( or placed in proverbal nightstand ) anymore , because they are no longer the least expensive new mfg repeating pistols. They have been replaced among the financialy challenged non-enthusiast buyers by the Jennings/ Davis/ Etc in usually .380, less often .32acp .

Even back in the day , the numbers of the high quality , reliable , accurate .25acp's were a small fraction of the cheap pot metal ones , sold to buyers wanting the cheapest thing that went (hopefully) bang .
