I have a few .32 guns. I'm sure many tier-1 arfcom operators would deem them silly, but I enjoy them. Now I've got the itch to buy something in .25acp to bridge the gap between my Beretta minx in .22short and my .32 Frommer Stop. Maybe a Mauser 1910?
Please share some photos and experiences. Edit: page two, purchased a Mauser model 1910. Still looking for a Walther model 9. |

I have a Titan .25ACP that my Grandfather gave me about 15 years ago that for all intents and purposes should be a P.O.S. but the little thing shoots well and works perfectly.

I have a Sterling Arms .25. I'll take pictures when I get home. My grandfather used to pocket carry it in NYC in the 80s, lol. It needs a magazine.

I have a Beretta 950 .25ACP. Neat little gun. Never had a jam or a problem in 20+years. Being single action and tiny, it's a little slow into action but accurate despite tiny "sights". The tip up barrel is convenient to check status and also negates need to rack the slide for elderly/weak hands.

Walther PP .32acp
Unfortunately it isn't reliable and hasn't been since the day I bought it. It went to a gunsmith, but of course it didn't malfunction for him ![]() ![]() |

I think I've narrowed my search to...
-Any Browning with a decent price tag -Iver J PP 25 -Beretta 850 25 |

I love tiny guns, gunna get a 25acp or five someday.
The baby browning is pretty amazing, as is the walther lookalike that's slightly smaller. The Beretta 21A in 25acp is also a cool little gun. I kind of want to try reloading it. You can use no 3 buckshot as plinking bullets. |

Quoted: right, but don't be at all afraid of the 950 because of the minx filthy dirty , bone dry with crap ammo you MIGHT get the 950 to fail View Quote |

Quoted: Sounds like they diverted all available "reliability" to that area of the factory. Lol. View Quote 22 short is just drastically inferior for the job 25acp was designed for. 950 is also 8 + 1 capacity When all you're doing is poking 1/4 inch holes in an attacker an extra 1-3 over other pocket guns could matter. |

I was lucky enough to get one of the ones that works flawlessly although its still a .25 it only cost me $20. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/464920/20180315_110648-482913.jpg https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/464920/20180315_111058-482917.jpg View Quote |

I had a Lorcin .25acp once... gave it to my father in law when he moved to a appartment in the city.. he's potentially an easy target, lots of health problems, didn't have anything and didn't have the money for anything. I polished the feed ramp and cut some slide aberrations since he had a hard time working the slide. Got it working fairly well, showed him how to use it and said "here". He wanted to give me something for it..I laughed and told him I felt bad about giving that piece of junk to anyone, you don't owe me a thing!
He's still got it. |

.32 ACP FMJ is seemingly the smallest centerfire automatic caliber that will reliably penetrate @ least 12" in ballistic gel; hence its long use in European armies in FMJ.
.25 ACP is seemingly the candidate for a .22 LR replacement in a long shortage; that necked-down .17? .20? ACP looks very interesting, as pressures could be pushed higher than .17 HM2. |

I remember seeing them at gun shows every once in awhile, almost always with a heavily worn finish. They weren't too expensive at the time. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes |
