I still have my Grandmother's Baby Browning. She got it as a Wedding Gift when she married my Grandfather...(Whom I was Named after) Grandpa died in WWII in France when My Father was 2 years old... Dad is 75 now ... I received the Baby Browning when Grandma Passed.. To me, That Pistol is Priceless... .. Great Video.!!

I have a Bauer Automatic and it's a surprisingly reliable firearm. Most people will claim they're inaccurate and not reliable for stopping ability... Well, that's because most people misunderstand what the intended purpose of these weapons - they're not meant to be accurate at distances, they were designed, manufactured, and distributed as a "boot gun", backup gun, or "gutshot" gun. They're intended for close contact rapid firing in self defense.

Sill have my Bauer 25 I bought for about $100 new in 1977. Quality little gun. Still shoots very well!

Hello. Thanks for the comparison. I have a Bauer (haven't shot it yet) but not an original Baby Browning. I do have two clones, the PSP-25, made by Precision Small Parts. One blued and one in stainless. They are fine little guns! Precision Small Parts has become Precision Small Arms and still makes these little beauties although they are quite expensive IMO. Thanks again!

i was wondering if you know how to install the magazine release spring on kassnar-25acp same as baby browning

One comment: The round cylindrically shaped part which must be rotated to field strip the pistol. It is called a barrel. Pretty universally. Liked the video in all. Other than my pedantic attitude. I have lately become a collector of .25 ACP (or 6.35x16mmSR or 6.35 Browning or FN1906 for Europeans). I would not trust my life to that cartridge, either. But the history of the origins of the pistol and cartridge is fascinating.

hey I would like to buy one of them please? name your price? I just have always liked the .22 LR and the .25 acp

Are they both identical in size that they will fit in the same holsters? (Hard holsters like kydex for example). Have seen some pictures and video that show them being the same size... but then also some that showed the Bauer being larger than the Browning... so not I'm not certain. At about 1:06 in this video the Bauer appears larger, but then later when you shot them with the slides off (seeing the internals) they appear to be the same size. Haven't been able to find dimensions of them to compare. On Wikipedia, they show that the Bauer is actually slightly smaller in length and height (thicker though, but may be because of the thicker grips... I'm not sure if the actual slide or frame is thicker though).

can you make the Brauer? browning and the bauer swapped parts, like the body of the browning and the slide of the bauer and the body of the bauer and the slide of the browning.

Great comparison

excelente explicacion !!!!

Sweet little duo. I got a protector Espanol buffalo in .25 acp it's a family heirloom that was given to me in 1986. The slide seems a little loose. Do you have that issue at all? Do you think new springs would be the solution to tighten it up.

I have a question? The way i took this is that the gun will not activate the fireing pin unless theres ammo in the clip?I just bought a old bauer and discovered it would not cock with a empty clip.Was thinking it was defective.Thanks for any help i can get on this.

I should say a somewhat reasonable price? I think yours are super clean!

One of the differences between them is the spring for the magazine catch and the disconnect safety. The Browning is more of a coil spring and the Bauer is more a wire spring. They are kind of fiddely to put back together when someone has taken them too far apart. I bought one as a bag of parts, and after a bit of tinkering got it put back together. It actually works well, only problem I had was a worn out magazine. No hiccups after I replaced it.

Would you recommend carrying the baby browning with a round in the chamber and with the safety on? Or is it particularly unsafe, concerning the firing pin etc. Thank you.

hi excellent video! I,am from SE michigan /Detroit area originally. Some years back I was up visiting during the Summer and My friends and I drove through fraser Michigan. Everytime I do I think of the bauer LOL. It was/is an excellent Pistol and a real piece of Michigan Industrial history. There was also a "copy" of the walther ppk/ppk/s made in .380 by Michigan arms but it,s quality control was disastrous compared to the bauer.

i lost my mag clip to my bauer can i use a raven one or sometype of replacement one or it wont fit?

You have to dry fire it anyway. It doesn’t have a last round hold open. When you are out the firing pin is cocked. Unless you load a snapcap as a last round, you have to always remember your 6+1 or you have to dry fire it. They are designed to be dry fired. It’s in the manual

The only "downside" to trusting your life to the .25 auto is that nobody actually "trains" to use them as they should. Forget all the crap you see and hear spewed on internet forums about accuracy at 20 feet, and two-handed, aimed fire. These tiny guns were NEVER intended to be used that way. The PROPER way to use one is in close, either in contact, or within a few feet. The straight blow-back system is highly reliable and allows the gun to be pressed firmly against the bullet recipient which magnifies the damage done due to expanding gasses jetting into the wound! These little guns work best when you use your body and off-hand to push into your attacker, blocking and deflecting as you press the little gun against their body and yank the trigger a few times - or more. If you have a little more distance than contact, then "point shooting" is the order of the day. Eyes fixed on the place you want the shot to go, gun comes out, points and fires, and the shot goes where the eyes were looking! Save for any misalignment of the gun within the shooter's hand, however at 5 or 6 feet or less this is of VERY LITTLE importance! A failure to "stop" with these little guns is due to the EXACT SAME reason .380s and 9mms fail to stop - wild "shot throwing" without deliberate intent. Cops shoot that way and civilians shoot that way...they pull a gun and start "throwing shots" in the general direction which means misses and peripheral hits. When you read headlines about cops shooting someone 41 times before they went down you are NOT reading about cops who were placing their shots with intent, but cops just shooting wild - in the general direction! NOBODY can continue the fight with 41 9mm slugs punched through his HEAD, or center-mass! NOBODY! The dood in the Miami shootout was hit something like 14 times - even in his FOOT, yet only ONE round of 9mm nicked the aorta and was causing him to bleed out as he continued the fight. He was finally put down by a cylinder full of .38 Special slugs pumped into his face and chest and point blank range. All the OTHER hits were just "cops throwing shots" without serious intent. Every FBI agent there could have been carrying .25 auto pistols and put the perp down within the first few seconds of the fight had they fired with INTENT...and that is something completely related to how the human psyche deals with violence and the potential for killing another person. The best training one can do isn't standing at an indoor range punching 500 holes through paper, it's THINKING about SD scenarios and mentally "walking them through" complete with how to respond with a gun and making DELIBERATE shots. The person who uses a .25 auto with deliberatation and the mental willingness to kill will do exactly that. The person who "throws bullets" will go around claiming the gun was ineffective...we see it all the time with the modern internet. The goob with a weak grip who blames the gun for not cycling is one good example. Another is the shots an attacker in the arms and legs - and upon release from the hospital goes around blaming the gun and caliber for failing to put the maniac down.

Very good, sir.

Bought a Baur about 30 years ago and of course didn't know what I had. Ended up selling or trading it only to wish I still had it! The .25 Auto is maligned and disrespected - more so since the arrival of the internet where all the wanna-bees parrot every negative thing they hear in order to be like the "cool kids". But something I've NEVER had happen is NOBODY has ever taken up the challenge to stand in front of a .25 auto from 3 feet - aimed at their sternum or forehead, and yank the lanyard for themselves to PROVE the cartridge "won't do shit". I think THAT speaks volumes MORE than all the BS being spewed from their collective suck holes!

Nice video. Will is hurt to dry fire a Baby Browning?

I have one of those Baby Browning pistols in nickel finish in like new condition. It is so cute.

These weapons do not have "cylinders". They have barrels.

Would you have an email address? I can send you some pictures with my baby Browning I need the right Magazine for it. Thanks

Can you use browning magazines in baur?

information was very good, thank you. but next time point camera down ,so we can follow along,with dismantling, and so on.

Anybody here have one detachable box maganine for this model?? FN 25 ACP browning 1906???

I have a Bauer. Love it...perfect little belly gun. Shoots first time, every time...rapid fire? ...no problem. I've put about 500 rounds through mine and never a problem. I mean it, 500 rounds! Spare parts are available... look for 'baby browning'...they work nicely. Look, the .25 may not be a 'man stopper', But if you have one in your hand...a Bauer .25 (or a 'Baby Browning) could save your life...even if just showing it to a nefarious jerk! Really now, 5 quick shots to the face...you get away...problem solved! If you can find a Bauer .25 I recommend you buy it! A "Baby Browning' may command a higher price, though. Be safe and be armed...the bad guys are!

Hilarious how he keeps pointing the barrel of the guns at his face when he turns them around

ive got a bauer made in Michigan with browning grips, whats up

That’s a barrel, not a cylinder. A cylinder is what holds the rounds in a revolver.

Thumbs up because you were fun to watch. There was another clone named the Fraser, just FYI

Cuando la pistola se casquillo que pasa

Travis Alexander was shot once through the right temple with a .25 auto by Jodi Arias. The bullet traversed across his head behind the face and came to rest behind the left cheek. Though Arias had already delivered the killing strike with her first manual knife stab, that final .25 auto blast would have been the "coup de gras" had the 29 knife stabs and slashes not gotten the job done!

caliber 6.35 Browning,, this bullet is capable of piercing 2 steel plates 1 mm thick at 5 meters ,,and scoring a third --- please see Sauterau Patrick's video with the shooting test ---

My grandpa left me possibly the world's biggest 25 ACP gun, it's a German Luger style looking gun, has 9 round magazine, and a 4.5 inch barrel. Writing on it is a German name "Henreich" and it says 6.35x16 which is euro way to say 25 ACP. Unlike the 25s I'm seeing on KZfaq because the barrel length I seem to hit high 800s low 900s with factory ammo, I'm scared to try any hot home loads because guns age. But idk why but I think mine might be biggest 25 ACP I ever seen. My barrel is 4.5 which is huge compared to any other 25 ACP I've seen, my guns handle and base is bigger then normal too

it would be really cool if everyone wouldn't leave douchie comments

I likes my Bauer .25 ACP. ; )

If you can get your hands on the browning its the way to go but good luck with that

Im still looking to replace mine that was stolen four years ago

Comparing workmanship the Browning is the better pistol

Be warned: the safety 'butto😅n' is riveted onto the safety lever. If not done properly, it WILL come off and be lost. BTDT

I carried the Baby Browning for a very short time. It is ULTRA concealable which is a plus. That being said I bought a .380 which is only slightly larger. I'll do a comparison in the next few days which will better explain why the .25acp is not my carry gun of choice.

Barrel, not cylinder.

i have the best of both worlds , which is a baby bauer with a baby browning barrel in it ! 😃

Beretta Jetfire is best tiny 25

I thought small pistols are not allowed to be be sent into the country

...the Walther 9 is similar...

quitar el gatillo de my brownin baby

Uhh, nope. The original manufactured Baby Browning is noticably smaller.

"Take the cylinder...?" Barrel. It's not a revolver.

quit watching when he started calling the barrel a cylinder.

I have the Bauer love it had it about fifty year got it new I had to move up to 9mm because of thug’s carrying stolen 9mm

Dude not harping or anything but several times you pointed the gun at your face. I understand the guns are not loaded and have snap caps but it is a bad habit to form in the event you are handling a gun in the future that you are unsure is unloaded. You just never want to be sitting there looking at something and say something like "well this is a pretty nice Glock and I really like how the front..." BOOM!! It will be awful embarrassing when the cops are sitting there and talking "he ummmm" ...... "well he ummmm looked down the barrel." ........... "Why the hell did he do that?"

Dear Sharps 1874: While you are a handsome fellow, I would rather have the camera focused on the guns and seeing you manipulate them and their parts!

i had a bauer years ago - the worst gun i ever had. it would jam almost every round. the gunsmith worked on it over and over and he couldn't fix it either.

People laugh at them but, I don't want to be shot by it on any part of my body, especially in the face. Wow it has less parts than a Glock? Hahahahahahaha.

Don’t ever point the gun at your self always treat as its loaded 🤦🏼‍♂️

The number of times he practically looks down the barrel while turning the gun annoys me

This may be a good video but I would rather be watching you work on the guns and not your face.

a 25 automatic would just piss somebody off it only has about 70 foot pounds of energy a 22 at least has double the energy
