My late uncle would have enjoyed this thread. His criteria for a gun was that it would fit in his shirt pocket.

Ty I'll check them out.XTP hollow points seem the be the consensus best choice unless you go to one of the Lehigh Penetrator loads. I carry American Gunner XTPs because that's what I could find locally, and I think they're the same as Hornady Custom except a couple of bucks less per box. Fiocchi and Precision One also load XTPs and they've tested well too but I haven't ever seen the stuff. Check out the AmmoQuest videos on YouTube if you want to see some of the testing, in particular the 380 winner video and then the follow up video on the Lehigh load. The best thing about those videos he's using a pocket pistol so the results you see should be what you'd get out of your gun.
I haven't ever shot the Lehigh stuff but the American Gunner XTPs run great in my LCP.

I had the Astra Cub version of your Junior Colt. Mine was in .22 Short and I was amazed by the amount of craftsmanship that went into making such a tiny gun work!
the Bauer was a copy of the Baby Browning. PSP/PSA I think is the only company making something like them now.I don't know if it's a mouse gun, but my LCPII is pretty small.
So is my Pico.
My P32 is smaller than either.
My Star CO 25acp is small and kind of rare.
I also have a Bauer 25acp... isn't it a copy of a Browning and/or Colt?
I love my mouse gun, this much!

PSA or Precision Small Arms makes a licensed copy from FN of the Baby Browning. And while they no longer carry any parts for the Bauer/Fraser copies, they do offer various parts, grips, magazines, and holsters for their version of the Baby Browning.
I have carried a p32 for 2 decades. Get some European fmj & stick to that. Look at the primers & if they are sealed that's usually a good indication the mfg. makes good ammo.Looks like I'm buying a Keltec P32 this weekend. Seeing all these mouse guns makes me miss my .25. Going to step up to .32 will post picks.
Iver Johnson quit making guns 5 decades ago.Who is making Iver Johnson's these days?
