I sell guns at a large retail store in a sporting goods section. Whenever I have a first time gun buyer who wants more info on a particular gun...I recommend your videos. Love them. Keep them coming.

Still have my little Bauer 25 I bought brand new in 1977. Got it out to shoot last month. While the sights are terrible, they don't snag on anything, and it shot surprisingly accurately at 7 yards! In my hand, it is definitely easy to tell it is a quality made handgun. I love the tiny guns and your reviews! Thx!

I bought this same gun at Oshmans new years ago. Shot it about 30 times. Kept it stored for years still looks new. Thanks for the video. I never had any problems with it.

My First Handgun. I bought it in 1987 from a friend that wasnt into guns and wanted to get rid of it. I paid $30. It was a Bauer marked model with mother of pearl grips. It wasnt reliable at first but after a box of ammo broke in nicely and stopped Jamming. The most reliable .25's I have owned was a Browning Baby from the 1950's and a Beretta 950BS. I love this mouse gun series as I have always enjoyed them. Especially .25acp.

Man, it's crazy to think but 20 years ago these were the deep concealment type gun. I carried a 25ACP Beretta for years....

have one for 40 years I keep it in my pocket , I for get sometimes I have it like going in banks or court houses but guns don't kill people; people do

love the mouse gun reviews....nobody else is doing it....keep it up

Thanks for the video. I picked one up last week for $125. I wasn't sure if it was one of those junk guns but your video was what made me decide to buy it.

Local gun shop had one of these (Bauer brand) some years ago in their 'used handgun' case for $125.00 and and it looked brand new. I already had a .25 ACP pistol at the time and couldn't justify buying another one but in retrospect I wish I would have snagged it, if for no other reason that I really like the little Bauer/Fraser .25 ACP pistols; and the price for good used specimens now is double what these typically went for some years ago.

great video. I have always loved the style and classy look of these little guns. Nobody else does reviews on these little guns that are anywhere near the quality you do. So for that, thank you for your hard work and dedication for us. Youre a good man. Long live the Republic.

Love your reviews, and your closing! thank you

I have to add that I love this mouse gun series. I have mouse guns in both 25 acp and 22lr. They are just fun to shoot and can be a back up if needed. If I had a home invasion I would stick my Model 21a in 25 acp in my pocket while I carried my 9 mm in my hand. Keep up the great videos, so fun to watch.

6 years later this was just the video i needed on 2021!

Picked up a Bauer stainless for $250...excellent condition at a show recently ! Thx for the video sootch00 !

Been really enjoying the small pistol vids. Real nice back up pistols. And I have to tell you I am sure that round will really hurt like hell at 5-7 yards. These pocket pistols are for close up, last resort use, and they work great just for that. I would prefer having one these pistols as a back over having a knife.

Back in the day those peal handles would be every pimps dream.

lovin the mouse guns...keep em comin

I was at a gun show a couple days ago and saw a Bauer 25 in what I would consider very good condition for $280. I could not resist and bought it, and the guy would not budge on the price. The guy said it was functional but I disassembled and immediately saw that the firing pin was broke off at the base....so I ordered a new firing pin and spring from PSA yesterday. Irritates me that the guy misrepresented the gun...whatever. Anyhow, the gun looks like it has not been shot more than maybe 50 times at most (I think the broke pin had to do with people dry firing it at the show). I really like the little guns...I also have a NAA 22 mag / 22LR revolver (1 1/8 " barrel) that is a kick to shoot. I like big guns too. I bought a S&W 460 a couple months ago....does have a pretty fierce kick shooting the 325 grain HSM hard cast loads though. Never know when a 1500 lb griz will come walking up the alley behind my house in Dallas..haha. Oh yes, I really like your video.....

That Fraser is in great condition and looks good too!

i bought a PSA a few years ago, on Christmas Eve, talked to the owner, picked my serial number, he included an extra magazine for free, he was living in IL at the time. it was kinda cool :)

I like when the gun made music. Thanks for review

I have one. They are a lot of fun! Thanks for the review

I need one of these in my life.

It was captivated? Cool 😎 LOL Love the videos, a lot of good info.

Wow- brings back some memories! Many years ago (late 80's) I carried one. I had a good friend make a flatter pair of sheet Al grips, and I carried it (taped to the inside of my thigh) when I went out, "clubbing". I still have that lil mouse gun, out in the safe. Of course, now I carry a Glock 22 now. Or if "concealment is a real issue, a .25 Beretta w/custom grips. Still- a fun gun, well made, from the "past"!

Good video. I had one of the original stainless Bauers back in the 70s. I loved it was stainless and small. That sums up the good features. I was never able to get the gun to fire more than 3 shots in rapid fire. In slow fire once in a while I could get it to do an entire magazine, but not often. I bought 2 extra magazines, but that made no difference in reliability. As a pocket pistol it was unsafe as sometimes the gun's safety lever would change position inside a pocket. Obviously yours is more reliable than mine was. I sold it and do not miss it.

Keep these mouse gun reviews coming!

nice. again, appreciate your series on 'mouse' guns. thanks.

Great job and you explain it very well.

Nice nice job scootch00!

I actually purchased one of these today, the Bauer version. "New" in Box, with papers:) It sure is a chunk, but it is really nicely machined. Taking it apart, it looks practically new! Tomorrow, I'm off to the range.

A very cool little pistola... I would love to add one to my 6.35 collection. Great video, by the way...

Beautiful! I love mouse guns! I have a Bernardelli VB (vest pocket) .25ACP semi-auto.

ahh awesome review their brother just awesome love this please keep em coming.

Dual wield and that Cuban made my, I'm gettn' both of 'em

I don't know what it is, but I love these little mouse guns.

Great video. Thanks for doing this.

Both awesome and great presentation, Sir

VERY well done and informative.

I have an excellent Baby Browning as well as a pristine Bauer Automatic with a serial just over 4100. These guns are so tiny and so cool, they're pretty much a meme. They can * almost * fit into an Altoids tin. A fantastic backup gun to your backup gun to your EDC gun. P-64 / 3032 Tomcat / Bauer. Then my knife. Then my cat.

Really like mouse guns. Good job.

Well Sootch, I can see you are having a ball with those mouse guns; Had a Colt .25 I should have kept. Keep the cigar for the REAL MAN"S GUN the CZ 97! Off topic; I bought a Baton S-1 light after watching your review and you were spot on. That light is fantastic for it's size and weight. Merry Christmas from seedy south Florida.....

I just picked up a Bauer for $190. IT is a fun little gun.

I've got the Bauer that a guy gave me a couple years ago - It needed a new safety, which is how I found this video... Damn impossible to find a thorough disassembly video or how-to... good thing I'm capable of figuring it out!... What a PITA the little thing is! I'm also amazed that it hasn't ripped open my hand when I shoot it - if you've got big/meaty hands the slide might get hungry and bite!

Great video thank you

Outstanding video

That my friend was a great deal and a fantastic review

Just found out that in the James Bond Novels that he used a Beretta 418 .25 ACP until in Dr No he was issued the iconic Walther PPK which we all associate with Bond

dang it sootch now I'm wanting one

Great little gun.

I will never understand why people always argue over smaller calibers and protection, gun is a gun, id rather use any caliber handgun over my fist to defend myself any day

thanks for the information

I have to say, I'm a huge fan of mouse guns. I'm so glad most of these oldies are relatively cheap. The new stuff is either polymer framed, which simply does not feel like the same quality, or a bit more than I'm willing to pay for a mouse gun.

I bought a Bauer version of this gun in 1980. As SC didn't have "shall issue" means of legal carry in those days, it was my means of self-defense as I walked eveywhere in the small, rough, town I lived in at the time, during warm or hot weather. I was grateful for the real Fall and Winter we had back then because I could conceal a .357 or .44 magnum easily under a heavy Winter coat. My Bauer also had those Godawful pearl grips on it. I never got around to spending the extra dough for a better looking and thinner set of wood grips. Unlike friends' guns of the same type, who enjoyed superb reliability with their Bauers, mine would jam about every third shot, no matter what ammo, which magazine (of about 6 I had) or how clean it was. Just my luck. :-(

Very cool,..thanks for that,..

Many thanks for the review, I have a Fraser. The magazine will push out when I fire it, so of course the next round won't cycle unless I physically keep pressure on it from below. I"m going to contact Precision small arms and see if I can get a new magazine from them.

another great video bro

Love the videos, very informative. Can you please do a review on the PT111 G2

Love the mouse gun reviews, they have helped me very much!

hey sootch thanks for all the great guns you review. but can you review the dp12 shotgun when you can plz thanks again bud.

This is really cool, at least to me. These guns were made about 20 minutes from my house in Fraser, Michigan. Sootch, would a gel test be out of the question? I think thought would be neat!

Very nice thanks for sharing.

Another great, fun review. One of the Walther TPH's would be fun to see. I've got one in 22lr if you want to borrow it

Good backup ankle gun.

el final estubo espectacular una en cada mano muy bien

nice presentation !

Thank you for making this video. A Bauer Arms .25 ( just like the one in the video) is actually the first handgun I ever purchased. I bought if for 75 bucks at a pawn shop my first year in the Army. Since then I've grown my handgun collection substantially and this has literately sat in my safe untouched for years. This motivated me to order a new part (cocking indicator asse.) for it and give her some attention.

I would love to to see a double stack Ruger LCP like this!

Back in the day, the word was that the fraser’s stainless was brittle and would occasionally snap at the rear of the slide.the slide’s held on by a small hollow tab at it’s rear. If that snaps, you get the slide in your face. Rumor or truth? I’d love to know.

Got one love it

I have one had it about forty years I had to move up but nice gun

PIMP GRIPS VERY COOL

Very nice

That's a sweet looking mouse pistol, might need to look into getting one, looks fun to plink around with :D

"Man will be what he was born to be.. free and independent" ~ JFK.

I had one of these (a Bauer) when I was an MP. It was stolen out of my POV at Camp Picket Virginia. I like mouse guns but the Little Bauer jammed a lot and had a tendency to slide bite. I now have a Walther .22 TPH.

I need to find one of these literally just figured out it exists but I live in Fraser where they were made

You find the coolest guns bro. These lil guns remind me of the ones from Taxi Driver.

Hes a great quality gun.... i love it.. far of a ”drugstor gadget” in ZN/ AL cast !!! True steel.. removable barrel.... a jewel in a collection !!! Is not a raven sarurday night ,! Even if cheap are interresting too.... and they are reliable

Great gun

Just picked up a Bauer for $279 today (6/21/2018)!!!

Looks like a good pocket pistol.

Had 1a few years ago. Got it in a trade. Sold it for $250. Never shot it. It was a good looking little gun.

I inherited one of these Frasers years back. Cool little gun. Is there a www to run the serial to get info on them? I have no idea of the age etc..... Thanks for video.

Hey Sootch, I just watched this review after seeing a Bauer for sale locally here in Utah. I have an idea about “Fraser” vs “Bauer.” My Take is that the pistol Make is RB Industries (Bauer) and at some point, Bauer just named that particular model the, “Fraser,” making it ahead of its time with a NAMED model vs a numbered model common to the day.

I had a Raven 25 cal it wrks ok. But my hands are to big. It hurt me or pinched my finger every time. But fun though. Great video thank you.

The best for me

How do you manage to find all these cool, vintage pocket pistols? I'd carry that as a backup!

On the weight and metal reduction, I can't really see 0.3 oz making much of a difference but could it have been a cost saving measure, or could it have been as you suggest like with the barrel a patent thing to differentiate between the two.

Damn, why did they stop making 25s? I want one!

Great price on that ,those grips from psa probably cost that much!! I just got a nickle baby and i love it so far

mouse guns are so sweet

I actually have one of these and I love it only bad thing about this gun is it will snake bite the piss out of you... meaning keep the spot between your thumb and pointer finger low it will get cut by the slide if u have big hands like I do but it'll only happen once that being said I love it w hornady ammo

Hey have you seen the PSA baby browning clone thats modernly produced i’d like to see a review to see if its still up to par with the old ones.

A friend of mine brought a baby browning when he come back from the war it is the only one I ever saw that had baby on the grips. Have you any information on a baby Browning with baby on the grips

I have one of these. nice and small. and yes I use it. I remember reading about these a long time ago. it seems that "bauer" went through a divorce, and the company shut down, but i think a sister in law bought the company and began making them again but since the original company shut down, she had to use "fraser" in order to avoid some legal problems ( it was something like that). very good gun, great for when you can't carry something larger or as a back up. shoot someone 2 times in the face and they get the idea. nice video.

Nice cricket

I have had a Bauer for many years. On the left side is written; "Bauer Firearms Corp." over printed; "FRASER, MICHIGAN U.S.A.". On the right side is written; "Bauer Automatic" over printed; ".25 CALIBER AUTOMATIC". Is yours older than mine? Mine looks just like yours, pearl grips, and all. BTW...thanks for doing these videos on the mouse guns. You do an excellent job.

I have a Bauer stamped 045218 with 218 0n the barrel does that mean that it was #218 made? Bought it from a friend said his dad bought it for his mom sat in a dresser till I bought it in 2020 for 75.00 I carry it daily. Still has never been fired.

A great video as always! One small correction, Fraser NOT Frasier! Nothing to do with Joe Frazier either.
