Just got two Berettas, one model 418 made in 1953 in nickle with the grip safety and one model 950BS. Cool guns that need to be test fired, cleaned, photoed, and listed on the auction side.[:)]

Mostly Spanish and Belgian baby browning clones
But some oddball orphans as well like the Russian TOZ kgb pocket pistol and a baby frommer...

and a German 25 I can not recall the name right now It belonged to my dad ( also departed ) he had it for years, thought it was something special because the grips did not have the normal screw holding them on he traded a Beretta jet fire for it .
I on occasion will carry the colt as a back up hide out [:D]
I worked with a fellow who had a 25 auto emptied into his chest at a bar one night , had all the scars but did no lasting damage ( he was big fellow big John what we called him and not sure what he was wearing at the time )
I have two a colt vest pocket I bought from a great uncle ( long departed ) for my wife almost 40 years ago

Orties would be the other firearm I believe

If I must go small, I would go with a 380 Glock 42 or Walther PPK or a 22 with Rem Vipers.
I shot it at a 1'x1' steel target at fifty yards once, was hitting it about 80% of the time.
The baby browning design is so elegant and simple and so copied and cloned...
So few moving parts but reliable
And as I stated the non browning designs are neat to like the Mauser model 1910 and others
Fun guns
Mike

Some time carry one. Nice well made Double action pistol made from 1945 thru 1992.
Orties. I have always wanted to attend one of those. quote:Originally posted by Grasshopper

Not what they are cracked up to be,[:o)]--especially if you are in line.
Turned out to be three "Buffalo" Spanish manufacture baby browning clones
I put the best one on display - the only one with still intact real buffalo horn grip panels and the best finish
All guns were intact and numbers matching and in decent shape except for the grip panels and a missing magazine
Just dug them out - the other two I mean - from the project pile
Numrich arms has hard rubber or plastic black replacement grip panels in stock and a magazine that will fit
The finish on these two is more gray than blue
I think I will tinker with them and clean them and test them and get the grips replaced
Give them to the girls and all three of us will have one (a Buffalo .25 acp pocket semiautomatic pistol that is)
Mike
A browning with a silver plate finish and gold plate accents with mother of pearl grip panels and the original cute little red and black hinged factory case...
She also has a later model Taurus .25 acp one of the tip up bbl models with rosewood grips...
Had a chrome plated Raven that was given to me but the shame of owning one was just to much and I traded it to a fellow an old Nikon compact 2-7 power scope
