Harrington and Richardson Self Loading .25 ACP.

A licensed design from Webley and Scott, Harrington and Richardson began making these diminutive pocket pistols between 1912 and 1916. At the time, they were the only US competition for Colt in the automatic pocket pistol market. After production ceased, they introduced a .32 ACP pistol, also based on a Webley and Scott design. Visually similar, the .32 ACP Self Loading Harrington and Richardson was, however a striker fired pistol, as opposed to the hidden hammer used in the .25 ACP pistol.

Compared with the Colt 1903:


It is a tiny little thing! I can get almost two fingers on the grip... Surprisingly easy to shoot, as long as you are not expecting much in the way of bullseye accuracy. I could keep all six rounds inside a standard IDPA target at 5-7 yards, not bad considering there are no sights at all.

Nice images!

Looks similar in size to a Colt 1908 .25 Vest Pocket.



No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride.

Ohhh…. Nice!

A 1908 is definitely on my list. I really NEED one, love to find one as nice as that example!
