All great guns you listed. And I'll agree that the Boberg should also be looked at as well.
Any particular reason for excluding the kahr pm9/cm9?
If I had to chose from the list you gave, I'd pick the 238 or the Boberg. I say the 238 because they are really small and super fun to shoot.
I've got more than a few pocket guns. My favorite to shoot would be my Beretta 950BS Jetfire. My baby brownings are not too far behind, but it's much easier to get accurate follow up shots with the Beretta.
I'm definitely partial to the baby brownings, whether they are the original's from FN, or the current production models from Precision Small Arms.
I have the same brushed stainless model that Toivo has, plus a high polished stainless model, and a featherweight. They are fantastic little...
I had the same question years ago when I dropped my beautiful Seecamp and it landed on the only exposed piece of concrete in the room. Just my luck.
I called Larry Seecamp to tell him, and his first response was "do you want to send it in so we can polish out any of the scuffs?". I replied that...
Sorry, I'm not exactly a metals expert nor do I have even the slightest bit of machining or tooling knowledge. I will defer to your expertise and start referring to it as bar stock.
I have one of the original FN babys. One made in 1964. It's awesome.
As far as why anyone would buy a "repro"... The pics below explain why I would.
and as far as i'm concerned, FN trusted this company to make these pistols in the US, and sell them under their name in Europe. So, if...
I just chatted with Lenn Kristal over email and he said that the units ivers has, we're sold to them by PSA. They (ivers) in turn sold a majority of them to one of PSA's customers in Thailand, which they were not supposed to do. PSA has since cut ties with Ivers.
Fwiw, the baby browning...
PSA CNC machines all of their guns from billet steel. Each and every gun is assembled and hand fitted / finished by the company president, Lenn Kristal. These guns are true gems and the price is reflective of the tremendous amount of hand fitment and finishing that goes into each pistol. Their...
Hands down, without question, PSA. They are the only one making true FN licensed baby Brownings. I have 2 of theirs and plan on getting a third this summer. Wonderful little guns. I also have an original FN and honestly, the PSA is just as nice, if not nicer.

I've never heard anything good about para's customer service.
There is a very big gun store in mass that won't carry them anymore due to frequent problems and terrible customer service.
There are lots of 1911's out there. I'd keep looking.
Check out the sig 938 which is the 9mm version of the 238.
Also have a look see at the new Springfield xds. 45acp, and thinner than the glock counterpart. A bit smaller as well I believe.

The blue one on the left is an FN baby browning from 1964. The brushed stainless and high polished stainless models are fn licensed baby browning's made by Precision Small Arms out of Aspen, Colorado. These are new production models and are just as nice if not nicer than the FN.
