Colt/Browning and FN/Browning
Webley and H&R. Compare interpretations of the basic designs on both sides of the Atlantic. Several Walthers pre-TPH. Mauser 1910 and WTP. You could find lots of novel guns like Clement and Lignose Einhand without getting into the vast sea of Browning knockoffs. Get the print catalog from Triple K magazines and see all sorts of name and off brands. |

The Walther Model 7 is one that I have along with the TPH.

Beretta 950 series The Bauer were a clone of the browning I bought my Bauer in 1979 and still shooting fine as are my 2 older 950 Beretta's .
Like my little 25 auto's and I have a Astra in 22 short also. These are true little pocket pistols.

Can't wait for the 418 to transfer that thing looks a lot smaller than I imagined next to the ppk. Btw have you had any luck fitting 1919 mags into 418

Not sure about Beretta 1919 mags (I don't have a 1919 to compare them to), but the 318 and 418 seem to have the same mags.

The 418 is nice, and a Beretta 950 would be a classic choice and probably one of the cheaper choices. I purchased a broken Baby Browning last week and repaired and fired it just today. Astonishingly accurate for those tiny sights...at 10 yards, I was shooting at a swinging metal target with 2 inch diameter "spots"....hit 5 out of 6, first try.

If you want small I think that the 418 will make you happy. here is one of my two 418's shown next to a pipe lighter. They are both very reliable and surprisingly accurate. A beautifully built pistol. For something more modern my 950 BS Jetfire is a great choice. |

A good pocket sized 25 cal can be your deep conceal back up gun.

PSP made a very nice FN licensed copy of the baby browning. Mine was reliable and surprisingly accurate despite the tiny sights and my fuzzy eyesight.

I really like my little bitty Beretta 950. Surprisingly accurate for as puny as the sights are.

You really can't go wrong with a Beretta 950. They are fine (and fun!) little pistols.

I have experience with the Llama 17 & 18. .25 & .22 short.
Very rare little guns in the US. Few people even know they were made. I have a few of them. |

They are neat, great feeling, rare little guns.
So rare, that parts are non-existant. I'm not sure if I ever shot mine, to tell the truth! I have shot one of my .22 short models a few times. |

I have an FN Browning and it is beautifully made. I'm not an expert but I think it's the best of the lot.

I love my Raven p25. Go ahead and crucify me. It was $40 and has been 100% reliable and balls accurate.
