John Browning’s little jewel, the FN M1905/1906 (later sold by colt as the 1908). Quick intro, overview, and a couple magazines through it. 6.35x16mmSR
That’s a really cute gun that I can’t have.
Awesome little pistol, wish I never got rid of mine!
What is the height, width, length, and weight of this gun? (Also, how much do they sell for, this original?) (Is there a # I can reach you on to ask questions about My First Vintage gun?)
When I hear guys complain about the "sights" on a 25cal., I have to shake my head. 10′ or less is a more realistic range for a pocket gun such as your shooting. I enjoy squirrel hunting with a pistol. For that I use a Colt Woodsman target pistol with an 8" barrel. It’s deadly out to 75′. I sure wouldn’t use my .25cal. but I don’t use the Woodsman for conceal carry either.
DIRTY GERTIE?
Just realized this was 7 years old sorry
i just acquired one of those. from what I have found mine appears to be first gen. without safety.
I have one of these but I do not have a magazine for it. Does anyone know where I can find one?
It’s a fucking "super, extra backup".
price in india for owning
so, tired of hearing people shit on smaller calibers with the same old big dick crowd mentality. This gun is meant for unloading on an enemy at a point blank range where one can’t miss the face or chest. I’d like to know of a world where anyone could retaliate from such a scenario. If you can’t hit a 5" group on a target from a point blank range in a stressful situation, you should not be carrying. That said, i own pistols in four different calibers.
As a Bank Teller in the 60’s we had one of these under our desks, but I would never have attempted to use it in the event of a holdup, 2nd reason is that the ammo might have been too old to fire. Please don’t ask what the first reason was.
why his hands are shaking?
Looks like the Jennings 25 acp takes the same mags.
Would you please show us how to disassemble the magazine? Thanks
…gutter ‘snipe’ aiming sights.
Try flipping the safety all the way backwards. That’s how mine works
Powerwise 22 long rifle hyper. & .25 acp out of a short barrel are equal power wise..(plenty of test on YouTube including Paul Harrell) BUT .25 acp uses a full metal jacket bullet which has better penetration on hard barriers ie human skull.. therefore much better for self-defense than any short barrel.22 .. along with being much better reliability
I’m in South Florida sometime it’s too damn hot for much clothing which can make concealment difficult so on occasion just to have more than nothing I carry my FIE Titan .25 I prefer it to nothing, but not by much.
These little guns were not designed to shoot in a long-range battle. These are for close-quarter defence, against a mugger or a home-invader.
500th like
He,s just a weak dude just telling lies on the 25
Make no mistake. .25 ACP can and will kill you as surely as a .45 will. Even with one shot and instantly if properly used.
My grandfather had one of these but it had to be deactivated becouse we cant keep licenses guns like these in finland
Anybody here have one detachable box maganine for this model?? FN 25 ACP browning 1906??? please contact me!
I was gonna buy a WW2 Walther PP… but someone else won the auction. The only thing they have left is one of these Baby Brownings and I’m wondering if I should buy it. It’s not really ‘cool’ in the sense that a Luger is and it’s not as interesting as a C96 or one of those early designs but it does have it’s appeal to it as a sort of novelty item. I wonder what these things were used for back in the day.. I can someone bringing it into a poker game or a spy carrying it as a sort of last resort; anything other than that it’s not very practical.
25 has taken a many of rabid humans.
That’s an interesting tip about taking care when ejecting a live round.
(The old collectors used to sayย of
officer’s personal pistols, "The smaller the caliber, the higher the
rank…")
this is what you were supposed to do with those vest pocket pistols, when someone tries to mug you, you pull the pistol out of your pocket, stick it in his rib cage, empty the clip then run lick hell.
my sister has a 25 a.c.p.model hp25a and it fires 1 time then not again ,can you give me some advice plz
The 1905 is pretty much the same size as Magnum Research’s Micro desert Eagle 380.
Comparing the FN1905 to the Kel-Tech is like comparing the Wright Flyer to the Space Shuttle!
And you clearly demonstrate why the .25 ACP has faded. You can now get a .380 ACP roughly the same size and lighter weight than the old .25 ACP guns. Close range, face or neck shot…oh yeah, it works. Much better than the .45 Auto you left at home. Still, for the average guy buying a CC gun the .25’s just have nothing to offer anymore. For a gun collector and gun carrier like me, sure! If you are going to have a bunch of CC guns, why not?
Hickok 45 would have checked to see that the mag was locked in 16 times. I don’t know why, just his nervous twitch.
I do IT
terrible reveiw
Have one and love it. My Uncle took it off a German Officer in WW II and brought it home.
A 25 round to the face or head will stop anyone, itโs not the best self defense weapon but it sure is better than wrestling a healthy mugger.
cute but with 180-200 joule of energy can wipe out your finger if you do’nt pay much attention where you put them around this pistol,in a standard double hand standing firing position.
I had this pisto when I was very young, or a couple of them, I remember how funny was to shoot at threes’ leaves and how easy was to strip down them and reassemble in a minute.
i mean when you got shot with a .22 cal or .25 cal.. it hurts and you can get killed.. dont mind get a shot in the head
Great video thanks!
any chance to find a magazine for it in Europe?
Many men have been put 6 feet under with a .25 acp. This caliber is nothing to laugh at.
Those little guns are awesome! Do you have some advices on how to clean it?
Small calibre, but I sure wouldn’t want to get hit with it !!!
i have one,how much,IT COST I WANT TO SELL IT
That grey thing at the upper right corner is intended to absorb part of the sound?
32 is the smallest I’ll carry but I still enjoy 25
Awesome Lil Piece of John Browning History ๐๐ฎ๐ฎ๐
Love how he keeps dogging it but it keeps shining through๐๐๐๐
