got me a baby browning

[Jon Coppenbarger]

AT the gun show all weekend and was a good boy and only bought one firearm. it was a baby browning made in 1961 and came with one magazine. paid $350 for it but dang it is mint and I think they are a really neat little pistol to throw in the collection.

Almost bought a few others but passed on them, well almost as Iam off later in the week to look at a few colt SAA's

Almost bought me a CZ75 standard ispc pistol with a whole bunch of mags for $450 but was looking for some collectibles and decided to pass. Know I could of made a few bucks but just did not want or need it but love that baby browning as it looks like a miniture piece of art. I know I am sick!

Congrats on your new Baby! I picked this one up a couple of weeks ago from a local gun shop. It looks to be unfired and with the original box and manual. I wasn't really looking for one at the time, but the price was too good to pass on it. I think what's so neat about these guns is that they are so small and yet so functional.

Man I want that one posted above. I wish I could run across one at a decent price.

I happen to have an original mag and the red and black plastic box the gun came in if anyone's interested.

I couldn't pry the Baby Browning from my wife's right ankle if I wanted to ... Hers wasn't mint, but close to it.

I also own a Baby Browning, but mine IS a beater

Picked my little gem up. Few week ago and by no means is it a powerhouse but it's neat as can be and decently accurate lol, congrats to you my friend

I picked up this Astra Cub .25ACP on a trade awhile ago and it is one excellent shooter and extremely well built.

It seems like I remember that these are not safe to carry with one in the chamber. The safety blocks the trigger but does not lock the striker. Im sure there is no trigger striker interlock either on these old designs so effectively there is not a firing pin safety on thesingle action trigger either. Might just be more theory than practice but it is just somethign to think about if you ever decide to carry it.

I have never looked closely at one myself but I seem to recall the ejector and firing pin being the same unit. Which means if you unload the chamber on a live round then the firing pin will come into contact with the primer.

Seems dicey to me. Once again though these have been around for ages.

However the baby Brownings are exceptionally classy little pistols and I know I would not regret the purchase of one.

If you regret the purchase at any time, feel free to send to me. I'll pay shipping as well.

Seriously, I can't find one anywhere around here.

Bannockburn's is a Light weight model which is somewhat rare. Also at 7 oz is one of the lightest guns evermade. They make an ideal 3rd gun.
