I have been picking these up for a few years when good deal comes along. For those who don't know from top left. Ortgies, Mauser 1910, Walther M8, Astra Cub, Browning Baby. ------------------------------------- Always the pall bearer, never the corpse. | ||

Prepared for the Worst, Providing the Best |
I like the look of that little Astra! I typically like something a little more potent as a carry gun, but these are interesting designs and sometimes anything is better than nothing. It's nowhere near as classy as these, but I recently picked up a KelTec P32, and it fills the mousegun role in my collection nicely (now that it's working reliably). It's a locked-breach handgun that holds 7+1 rounds and weighs less than 7oz unloaded...when you think about it, that's pretty remarkable. It's definitely not perfect. Far from it, in fact. But if the goal is small size and light weight, it's hard to compete with it. I also have a Beretta 81, so I'm loading .32 now, and I wouldn't pass one of these old pocket pistols up if I saw it in a shop for a good price...if only just for the fun of playing with it. | |||

I have a Baby Browning in the safe. In the safe. I also have a .22 derringer. It's also in the safe. That's where they live. I inherited both, I wouldn't have bought either of them. There were a pair of the derringers, but that made even less sense than just having one of them. ______________________________________________ Carthago delenda est | |||

Wait, what? |
My two mouse guns are a Beretta Bobcat and Ruger LCR, both .22’s. They are strictly range toys since guns like my 365 exist. It can be fun and rewarding doing rapid ammo dumps in .22LR not to mention eye opening when you get dialed in- a grapefruit sized group at SD distances of Stingers in 2 seconds would be pretty devastating. “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | |||

Sweet! I like the mouse gun as well. Started with a two tone P238 and a stainless Baby Browning clone. | |||

Nice pictures, do you ever carry them or just for the range? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Democracy is 2 Wolves & a Lamb debating the lunch menu.

I had a CZ45 that was apparently what Mr Seecamp was looking at when he brought out his DAO pocket pistols. I once read that the Walther Model 8 was popular in Europe because it is a rather large gun, as .25s go. CCW was frowned upon and the only way to get a license to purchase a pistol was for target shooting. So there were pocket pistol shooting matches. | |||

Never carry them, the Astra is a 22 short and the 25acp would just piss someone off! The Walther is way too valuable to even shoot. They sell in it's condition for $1200 or so. For every day carry I take the Noisy Cricket (NAA mini revolver in .22 mag) or my air weight S&W snubby. ------------------------------------- Always the pall bearer, never the corpse. | |||

Matched set of Seecamp .32's from I think the 90's. Used to belong to the owner of the LGS. And I just bought a Ruger LCP Max... | |||

Cool. I have one of these as well. They are also fun to have in 17 HMR and 17mach2. | |||

It's all part of the adventure... |
Nice collection! I’ve only got a few mouse guns so far. I inherited an F.I.E. Titan .25 ACP from my father (along with several other guns) as well as a Czech Duo .25 ACP from my father-in-law (along with several other guns). A couple years ago I bought a Beretta Tomcat Inox in .32 ACP. I didn’t “need” it; i just had to have it. It’s an awesome little chunky monkey. Now I have my eye on a threaded barrel Beretta Bobcat in .22LR. Tiny guns are just somehow irresistible. P08 — Is the Astra Cub the same as the Colt Junior? I recently watched a Sootch00 video where he mentioned the Colt Junior was produced by Astra for Colt. Your Cub looks very much like the Colt Junior he had in his video.

I've always wanted a Baby Browning, saw one at a gun show years ago but they wanted a fortune for it. Mouseguns/pocket pistols are a favorite of mine and my preferred carry method. These are the mouseguns/pocket pistols I've owned and carried since 2007: Ruger LCP Keltec P-32 Keltec P3AT Diamondback DB380 Bersa Thunder 380CC S&W 442 Kahr CW380 Seecamp .32 NAA Pug .22 Mag Kahr CM9 (current carry) | |||

Nice collection. I always liked mouse guns but only own two, a NAA .22 mag and another in .22 short. The .22 short is actually really fun to shoot “Everybody wants a Sig in the sheets but a Glock on the streets.” -bionic218 04-02-2014 | |||

My humble example of a CZ45. A very cool DA .25 ACP, neat design. Don’t carry it, really only grabbed it when I saw it because they don’t pop up very often over here. Bill R | |||

Mine’s a Walther TPH that’s amazingly accurate with almost any .22LR ammo but kinda picky about what it’s reliable with. | |||

The Mauser and the Walther look really nice. _______________________________ Do the interns get Glocks? | |||

They are rare, I've never seen one. They were cloned by a US company in the 90's. Forget the brand. 美しい犬 | |||

The CZ45 was reintroduced in 2005 as the CZ92, and was in production up until a few years ago. It was available in Europe, but didn't score enough import points on the ATF's rating system to be legally importable into the US.
Intratec (of Tec-9 fame) produced the Protec-25, a cheap pot metal copy of the CZ45. Offered 1991-2000ish. | |||
