PSA makes them in stainless, blue, case colored, nickel, etc. They are all gorgeous.

I wouldn't judge them so negatively - they wouldn't sell them all over the world if they were trash. PSA has been making them since the early 1980s as I recall. The PSA Baby Brownings are finely tuned, a lot of hand work, mostly hand work, actually, and need to be properly cared for because, as the company name describes, they are precision instruments and they are small. Wait for my range report and then decide.

The Baby Brownings have a safety on the right side of the grip - I don't think the Colts or FN's earlier versions had that - the Colt had a grip safety. If you check the history you'll discover various differences, including a cocked hammer indicator on the rear of the slide. The Vest Pocket Colt didn't have that. The BB was based on the earlier Browning designs, and was designed by Dieudonné Saive, the same guy that worked on the Browning Hi-Power, among other guns.

Stay tuned!
