I recently came into possession of a small made in Spain handgun. It has "Automatic Pistol Colon" and "6.35mm" and what looks like "Cal .25" stamped into the slide. The handgun is in fair condition, missing it's magazine, and the grips are obviously homemade.
Does anyone know anything about this little handgun, or if I can shoot .25 in it? Thanks |

Not sure about yours, but there were a gazillion Spanish .25acp & .32acp models made in the 1900's. Having one with a working mag is about as often as having a winning lottery ticket, IMO.
You might try some local gun shows & ask some old timers about it. I will look in my Blue Book later for some ideas. My .o2 |

But as you mentioned, the magazine seems a bit harder to find. No big deal... it was free. I just thought it would be interesting to shoot it. |

Nothing in the Blue Book about "Colon", I'm afraid. Sorry. Might try some old .25acp mags at a gun show & see if they fit the gun. You might get lucky......... Good luck! |

I wonder since it's a copy, if a Baby Browning mag would fit ? I didn't even pick up on the resemblance to the baby Browning. Other than the safety, it's very similar. Here's another Spanish copy. I'll look for a mag for it too. "Elgoibar 1922 Pocket Pistol - A Spanish caliber .25ACP pocket pistol"
