25 Autos

[Olle]

Nice pictures, guys! I'm glad to see that there actually are some people interested in these little pip squeaks. They are cheap and plentiful so many people still use them as tackle box guns, which makes it difficult to find them in good condition. One day the collector community will wake up and say: "Where did they all go?"

My favorite .25 is the Mauser 1910, it is a blast to shoot. For some reason I find the scale of it intriguing, it just goes "pop", "pop" and throws those little cute .25 shells out. It almost feels like a model or a miniature copy of a "real" gun.

The grip safety sure makes them interesting to shoot. My hands are average size, but with the palm of my hand pressed against the safety, I can barely curl my index finger back far enough to pull the trigger.
