I have not heard of any pistols chambered in .25 ACP that are larger than the Spanish Jo-Lo-Ar. Does anyone know of any?

I doubt there is such a thing as a large 25acp pistol, just kidding. But the little Ortgies is biggest I can think of, the others are the Baby Brownings etc.

Beretta used to offer a 4" barrel on their 950 Jetfire, which made it a bit larger than normal for that caliber.

I believe some Walther PP's were made in 25acp.

There were some fairly large revolvers made in Europe for the .25 ACP, but I don't know if any qualified as the largest. I think the prize probably goes to the HK4, but the Walther PP is about the same size. A lot had long barrels due to an Austrian law that banned pistols with barrel lengths under (IIRC) four inches.

Kaynbred, if you have a .25 Jo-Lo-Ar, congratulations, they are very rare. Going by what I have read, there were three versions, one 9 shot, one 8 shot and one 6 shot, the latter two designed to reduce the size of the pistol and make it more competitive. I have seen one of the 9 shot pistols; I doubt the others were ever made in any quantity.

Isn't there a Thompson Center Contender barrel in .25 ACP?
