- The Baby Browning is a tiny 6 shot pocket pistol chambered for 25acp. It has become a real collector item. Very high quality. It was made for over 50 years under both the Browning and FN names.

Mine is supposed to be at my FFL today! Was lucky enough to score one on GunBroker! Can't wait to hold that little baby my hands 8-)
You should do a video with it sometime.
Excellent video Shep...thanks for posting. I love the vest pocket pistols....such a wide variety and forgotten old world craftsmanship.
Glad you enjoyed it
I have my dad's baby browing. It will always be in my collection.
Think I remember you had a video of it. But I`m not sure. I`ve seen so many videos over the years that I can`t begin to remember who posted what.
1957Shep yes sir I did one a long time ago.
I was recently looking around for one of these. I found out that there is a little outfit called PSE that still makes these. They even make engraved and aluminum framed version. Pretty neat. At least you probably won't have trouble getting 25 ACP off the shelf!
I didn`t know the PSE copies were still made. Browning kept on making these up until the late 80s, but they stopped importing them in 1968. Browning also made engraved ones. I saw one last year at a gun show. The sellers asking price was $2,000.

Thanks for showing awesome as always
Thanks for taking time to watch.
Great little gun!
Thanks.
The last few months make me wish I had a 25 auto seeing as how it's about the only ammo around
Even reloading supplies like primers are getting hard to come by.
$22 a box of 50 rounds
Shep WE both thought the same thing! THat Aluminum CCI ammo was the culprit for the jams.
That is the only time I ever saw it jam. Not that I have ever shot it very much.
Amazing little pistol seems to hit hard ,so good as a concealed carry I would think,
Actually, they are a little too small to get a good grip on it. The power is about the same as a 22LR.
About the same power as 22LR from a rifle he meant to say, which was John B's intention👍😎🤗
You have all my guns Shep. Do you have the combination to my safe?
No, but feel free to send it to me. :-)
That's a big boofer. :-D
: > )
The other day a man offered me his zip .22 for my FN baby browning. I’m well aware of the failure of the zip but I have seen successful shooting ones. Is this a good trade?
Not to me it wouldn`t be. Right now there is a zip 22, new in box, on gunbroker.com for $325. A Baby Browning in nice condition is worth twice that much. And $325 for a zip 22 is way over priced at that. I`ve never saw one that worked.
@@1957Shep thanks you’re right... Where do you get your .25 ammo from can’t find it anywhere?
@@itchybraids33 Last time I bought some I got it from one of the local gunshops.
Nice looking old gun but how do you take it apart? Looks a lot like my crappy Cobra.
I`m sure someone has a video on how to take it apart. Seeing it would be easier than telling you how. Make sure it`s empty. Remove the mag. Pull the trigger, don`t want it cocked before the next step. There is a notch in the slide where when you engage the safety it will hold the slide part way open. Pull the slide back just far enough to put the safety in that notch. Get hold of the end of the barrel and turn it counter-clockwise. Then take the safety off and ease the slide off the frame. After that just remove the barrel.
Sounds more complicated than it really is.
How much did you buy it for?
Don`t remember.
It has a safety us lefty’s can use
If I was to actually carry something like this as it was intended, just in a pocket, I would probably carry with an empty chamber. Too easy for the safety to get accidently disengaged if it wasn`t in a holster.
I have heard a lot of "experts" (in other words, RUclipsrs) say ".25 is ineffective for self defense." Granted, it's not a 9mm or .45, but I have yet to see anyone volunteer to let themselves be shot by one. If these experts think it's so ineffective, stand 10 feet away and let me fire a few rounds into them. THEN tell me how "ineffective" it is. I dare you.
The 25acp might not be the ideal self defense round, but it would the hell out of a sharp stick. :-)
Actually, you would probably be surprised at how many home intruders get put off or put down by someone with a lowly little 22 pistol or revolver.
@@1957Shep I don't remember where I read it, but I remember seeing the statistics, and it showed that more people have been killed by 22 than any other caliber.
I have something like it but it crashes. I want to fix it
Take it to your local gunsmith.
@@1957Shep
There are no spare parts of the same type
@@user-zg2tn1ge1n Then you would have to make them. But it would probably be cheaper to just get another pistol.
@@1957Shep
How much does a new pistol of the same type cost
@@user-zg2tn1ge1n They don`t make these anymore. Look on gunbroker.com and see what they have been selling for lately.
What is the value
Depends on the condition and what variation. Look on gunbroker.com to see what they have been selling for lately.
@@1957Shep ok sounds good thank you. They look sharp
Well, if my mom doesn't let me have a rifle, I will ask her if I can have this little gun then
This type of gun wouldn`t really be a good choice as a first gun.
@@1957Shep Then what gun you say I could have for my first gun?
@@nazzaa9054 What you would decide on for a 1st gun would depend mainly on what you intended to use it for.
But most people would normally go with a 22 rimfire rifle or handgun. Cheap to shoot while you are learning to shoot.
Would also very much recommend that you find an experienced shooter to teach you how. One on one.
Failing that, at least take some kind of gun safety coarse. But one on one training/learning would be much better.
@@1957Shep my grandfather it's an experienced shooter so, I will ask him

Thanks.
