.25ACP Pocket Pistols

[OK Corgi Rancher]

Been wanting one, never could find the right one. A local guy who I've done business with before told me he'd bring a few out to the house. Long story short, I ended up with 4 instead of 1.

A CZ DUO made in 1949, a Beretta 950 BS, an Tanfoglio GT27 and an FIE Titan. For some reason I've been on a pocket gun and shotgun kick lately. I really enjoy shooting these little guns. They all shoot really well and function perfectly.

Even though the CZ is by far the nicest (the machine work is incredible on this thing) I'll probably wind up selling it. It should really be in the hands of a collector who can appreciate what it is.

Cool, people talk shit about 25's but I figure they're 50/50 & better than nothing when needed.

I worked with a man years back that got shot in the head with one, up by the tacobell on 23rd.

The bullet put a big knot on side of his head and knocked him down where he fractured the other side of his skull where it bounced off a parking curb.

That CZ looks a lot like the Baby Browning I’ve been known to occasionally carry. Years ago, a loudmouthed schnook tried to tell me it’s useless, but he couldn’t understand that it’s a last-ditch gun—I figure if I stick it in my attacker’s belly and squeeze the trigger, that Gold Dot JHP (and the muzzle gases) will get my point across.

Or, as a late buddy once put it, he can’t do nothin’ if I shoot him in the eyes.

These aren't carry guns. But if that's all I had, I'd carry one. Damn sure better than nothing.

I came by a Baby Browning 40 years ago with the zipper case and manual. Bought a couple of boxes of PMC and went down to the river to try it out. I was very surprised to find out how easy it was to walk a pop can around at slightly longer than social distance. I wouldn’t dive into the bush for a pissed off rabbit with it, but it might buy me enough time to be somewhere else in a crunch. I guess at the time John Browning came up with it folks weren’t out to blow the lungs out of and limbs off of each other. It’s more of an emphatic not today.

My half Messican Primo would be all over that FIE. He had a stereotypical affinity for inexpensive shiny gats.

Made national news, awhile back in jersey, the offduty cop got in a fight with a couple of dudes, he used his pocket carry 25 to fuck'em up.


Course, khar makes a 9 bout same size as most pocket carry 22lr, 25s & 32s.
