My Mouse Pistols

[DRC458]

Any of you boys try to reload 25ACP? Talk about a finger pincher.

Once. Only once. Had a good friend who was LEO. He asked me to load him a box. Those fifty rounds seemed like five hundred. I told him, 'never again.'

Have two … a S&W 637 from their Performance Center and a Remington RM380.

The Remington has the Galloway performance kit. Took just minutes to install. It was great out of the box …. Even better after with the Galloway kit. Very soft shooting, really smooth trigger pull and will feed anything.

The S&W is a great revolver BUT the clear coat finish is crap. Started to peel off after it was out of warranty.

I do, not so bad once you do a few.

The only mouse pistol I own is a 1967 Baby Browning. 25ACP. It was my mother's.

When I was a kid in the 70s, we had a little "mom & pop" store. Every night at closing time, my mother would collect the day's monies, balance out everything and make a deposit. She always kept her little Browning on the desk next to her.

Well, it became such a part of her daily carry, she forgot about it in her purse and was called up for jury duty at the Rogers county court house.

As she was walking inside, the deputy searched her purse and found the little Browning and drug my mother off to a small room and proceeded to rake her over the coals for trying to smuggle a concealed weapon into the court room. His last words to her were, "you'll never see this gun again."

Well, it just so happened that a federal judge was a regular patron of our store and dad's fishing buddy was an OHP lieutenant. So mom told the story to both of them.

About 2 weeks later, the Rogers county sheriff personally came to the store, offered his most sincere apologies to my mother and returned the little pistol to her.

Sheriff Amos Ward knew how to take good care of good people.

I only have two mouse guns,,,
But they are both 100% reliable to shoot.

Taurus 22-PLY and 25-PLY,,,
I bought the 25-PLY on a whim,,,
It was just so cute and fit my hand so well,,,
That I just had to buy it and give it a good home.

A few weeks later I ordered the .22 from Buds for a mere $165.00,,,
The 25 was $169.95 + tax at The Evil Pawn Shop.

I shoot the .22 almost every range trip,,,
Just to get my James Bond fix.

The 25 gets shot a lot less,,,
Only because the ammo is so danged pricey.

Way back in the early 60's my parents were antique dealers,,,
Before the gun control act of 1968(?) they bought and sold a lot of firearms.

One that they bought was a teeny little thing,,,
It had a steel barrel but had a brass frame.

It was a 4-barrel break-open action,,,
By 4-barrels I meant one square barrel with four chambers,,,
The firing pin was in the center and rotated in a double-action trigger fashion.

The grips were brass as well,,,
They had the Mexican National Symbol embossed on them.

I think it was a Browning of some ilk,,,
But that's from the memories of a 10 year old boy.

I've never found anything like it on the web,,,
I sure would like to know what brand/model it really was.

Oh,,,
It was chambered for .22 short.

That's a cool little shooter,,,
But the one I remember had a shape more like a 1911.

By that I mean it was very pocket-semi shaped,,,
I don't think it had an exposed hammer.

25ACP? I thought it was more effective to just throw the ammunition at the target than actually fire it.
