My only 25acp is a CZ45.
Nice DA only pistol.
No safety, no slide latch, no buttons,,,just pull the DA trigger which is very smooth.
Made/proofed in 1947.
These are a bit larger than the average 'vest pocket 25'. But for me that was the advantage. The smaller Bernardelli Baby I had before this was too small and hard to handle safely plus that one was not totally reliable.

I had an Astra FireCat 25 sometime back and that I should have kept. But where it went I don't remember.


I added the engraving one day to this one when I was recovering from a H/A
Rust blue finish over the engraving has held up nice. I just pocket carry it.

Looks like I’m not TOO late. (I was working.)

They’re fun for what they are. Some are definitely better than others but they all are great representatives.

I know the 1910 Mauser isn’t a “mouser” but at least I didn’t include the 1914, 1934, or any of the PP’s and PPK.

The outstanding Seecamp was basically a “copy” of the CZ45 and I’d like one.

Your skill as an engraver is amazing, beautiful work

 

[OLDSTER]

I own a couple. The German Ortgies .25acp is a cool little gun with an interesting history; I'm searching for the .32 and rare .380. The Seecamp .32 is my EDC ; I carry it in a Jackson Leather pocket holster.

What, no mention of Tom and Jerry yet?

Here you go...

And there's a mouse gun!

Here are mine, Beretta 21A .22lr and CZ in 6.35 (.25) I inherited the CZ it was my Grandma's "purse gun".
When (if) things normalize I might take a look at getting something in .380
right now nothing available in the area.

In the center, except for a four digit serial number, an otherwise unmarked mystery pistol of unknown origin. It is flanked by a Colt Model N from 1911 and a Browning Baby from 1954.

I have a look alike for that one.... A little Spanish made gun. Has Spanish proofs, says "Model 1914 Automatic Pistol 6.35 m/m" and has the name "The Victory" and a rather obvious added on "Made In Spain" stamp. The last probably being required when it was exported to the US as it barely fits on the front of the frame (and is a little crooked too!). Has an aftermarket mag that works okay with four rounds but jams with five or six. Mine also has checkered wooden grips but otherwise looks just like your little gun. I think this style was one of the most popular with Spanish makers as I have seen a lot of them with many different names (or none at all like yours!).

My two .25 autos. I got the Colt to show with the .25 auto holsters I’ve collected over the years, this is probably 1/2 of them. I shoot the Colt now and then and have put it in my pocket now and then. I’ve been thinking about getting one of the new Ruger LCP .22 autos.
I’ve heard that some German officers in WW II carried .25’s to commit suicide with. I’ve also heard the report about Stalin’s elimination specialist.

Well, Hitler used a .32 PPK to off himself. He kept it locked in a safe in his private quarters. Strange, that last bit of how a maniac who was surrounded by armed guards and was responsible for the death of millions kept his personal gun locked in a safe. Wonder why he kept it locked up...from whom?

Also, I read in one of the biographies of Hitler that he carried a .25 Walther in a pocket holster sewed into a front pocket. Don't know if this is true or not, but it sounds reasonable.

It seems pretty nicely made, with assembly numbers throughout. Despite the superficial resemblance to the Colt 1908 it is a concealed hammer pistol rather than striker fired. It lacks the Colt's grip safety but does come with a magazine disconnect. A surprisingly effective "guttersnipe" sighting system, hand size groups at 20 feet are not hard to do.

It has proven entirely reliable with .25 FMJ (as have its "named" cousins. I am unsure of the value of "boutique bullets" in this caliber. I'd think getting the bullet deep enough to poke a hole in something important might be of more value.

Beretta Pico is at the top of my list. Only place I could find any was on GB. Local and online retailers were out. Now I just have to wait to save up the money and hope I don't hit a snag in the process. *fingers crossed*

You'll like it when you get it. I've had mine for almost 2 years now. It took a bit of getting-used-to, but it is accurate, 100% reliable, and as easy to carry as my flip-phone.

I certainly hope not!

There is a story that in his early days of founding the Nazi Party, Hitler carried a S&W Ladysmith revolver.

 

[ladder13]

My one and only. One of the first 380’s made.

Never heard that. Goering was a fan of S&W revolvers, though.

See: Smith and Wesson LadySmith.....?

There is also a story that Hitler used the Ladysmith to murder his cousin/lover Geli Raubal. It has always been controversial if Geli committed suicide or was murdered by Hitler (or by someone working for Hitler) in a jealous rage caused by Geli getting pregnant by an Austrian Jew. The weapon used has been stated as being Hitler's .32 Walther but who knows if that is correct or not.
