Very cool; never saw one of those with a longer barrel before! Sort of reminds me of all of those old Berettas with the longer barrels.

I feel safer with the Astra Cub when carrying than the Baby Browning.

How would you carry either gun? Chamber loaded, or empty?

Just asking because I have the Bauer .25, essentially the same gun as the Baby. I would not carry it chamber-loaded, but I bet I could feel okay carrying the Cub chamber-loaded if the hammer were at rest (being left-handed, I'm just not a safety-lever user much.)
