| Hello Browning pistols Were made in 22 and 25 the 25cal is center fire and 22 rim fire so looking at the breach face of the slide you should be able to see fireing pin hole . and decide what it is. If in the middle it is center fire . The 25 auto is called the 6.35 MM in Europe and I would bet money that is what it is. I would go to a gun shop with gunsmith on site you might have foreign matter in the chamber of your barrel. |

I agree w/ "Perry", but I would like to emphasize your taking the pistol to a reputable gunsmith, that way you can accomplish two things in one trip. Nailing down the caliber and making sure that the lil devil is OK to shoot ... takes all the guess out of the game.
If you only have time to do two things so-so, or one thing well ... do the one thing! |

The bullet is squeezed to fill the grooves of the barrel when it's fired. This is why your "bullet don't fit". If you try it (6.35mm or .25 ACP, same cartridge) from the breech end, I'm sure it will do just fine.

You my friend have no business arround guns until you get some basic instruction on them.
bullets are forced into the barrel upon firing, which deforms them. If you look closely at the round you tried to put in the muzzle of the pistol, you will see several evenly spaced marks arround the edge of the projectile. Had the bullet been fired, rather than just pushed in the muzzle, there would be longitudinal grooves along the length of the bullet coresponding to these marks.

Wow! This is really pushing the envelope. Breech end is where the bullet is fed from the magazine INTO THE BREECH.
Richbug is correct.
Do not attempt to do anything with that weapon until someone WHO KNOWS what they are doing instructs you. YOU MAY KILL YOURSELF BY ACCIDENT.

When you load the magazine, the round part of the bullet faces front.
I think you need some basic instruction in handling and safe operation of this gun.
