I'll answer several questions.
The Bauers were solid stainless clones of the Browning. Machining was a little rougher, and you rotated the barrel the opposite direction to disassemble.
In a .25 cal pocket pistol there are no "limitations" on an aluminum frame, but there is one advantage, though-light weight.
The lightweight Browning sells at a premium over the blued model because it is lighter and prettier, and was not made in the same quantity as the blued one.
