Mouse Guns!

[Rogelio]

For those of you who say that anything below 9mm is a mouse gun regardless of size...is my Glock 25 a mouse gun?? No way!!!

I call moseguns anything the aprox size of a baby browning, NAA Mini and beretta jetfire, regardless of caliber.

I call anything anything that throws an eensy little bullet a mousegun, regardless of the dimensions of the gun.

22 short! That's got to be the "Minnie Mouse" gun of all mouse guns! Shot a ton of the 22 shorts when I was a kid. That was before they got so expensive.

I agree with 444 that it's a question of caliber, not size of weapon. For me, anything less than .38 Special in a revolver, or less than .380 in a semi-auto, qualifies as a "mouse gun" - and .380 is right on the borderline. In a short-barrel weapon such as a Kel-Tec P3-AT, I regard it as just below the "mouse gun" borderline: in a longer-barrel gun, such as the Beretta .380 or SIG P232, I regard it as just over the borderline.

Another way of defining "mouse calibers" is whether or not I'm prepared to bet my life on them as my primary (or only) carry weapon. I won't carry less than .38 Special or 9mm. Parabellum as a primary caliber. The .380's and smaller are for backup carry.

Pretty much concur with the group.
.22, .25, .32, and .380 for the most part, are what I consider mouse guns.
.38 spl, 9mm, and .357 magnum are decidedly NOT mouse gun calibers, just not what I would call big bores.
