Baby Browning
Any one have any experience with them? For some reason I'm really interested in getting my hands on one. They seem like super kool little pistols.

Re: Baby Browning
I have one that just sits in the safe, they run flawless but I got tired of getting my hand ripped apart with slide bite. You have to watch how you hold the pistol every shot.Been contemplating selling it to be truthful,good luck.

Re: Baby Browning
My husband had one he called Mr. Jingles (reference to The Green Mile). His was an American made one, stamped PSP and made in Charlotte NC. He loved his, but no one makes a pocket holster that fits it right, and .25 is a weak round, unless you use European ammo, which is loader hotter than ours for some reason. It IS a cute little gun.

Re: Baby Browning
I have one, along with the european ammo. Along with what's been said already, the pearl grips are very fragile. It's very much a pocket gun, and not terribly accurate. While I was able to keep my shots within a 10 inch ring at about 15 feet, it should be thought of as more of a "belly gun", only to be relied on when you are up close and personal with your attacker.

Re: Baby Browning
ps if you get one, scoop up spare parts when you can find them...such as a firing pin (had one break on me)...
i guess i really shouldnt shoot it anymore, but it was a gift from my grandfather and im sure he would want me to shoot it like all my guns

Re: Baby Browning
Same here. The slide would cut two parallel lacerations about 5/8" apart in the top of the web of my right hand betw. thumb and forefinger. It did so for my wife as well. Finally sold "the cute little f__ker with the sharp bite." It had black plastic grips with which I had no crack or breakage problem, and it was fairly reliable with Winchester, American Eagle, and S&B ammo.
