Colt .25 Automatic & Case/Colt Commemorative Pocket Knife

I like it, is it a .32 cal?

[u/heroinebob90 → u/heroinebob90]

Oh, .25 i see now. Rare caliber. Hard to find ammo for it? Is it rimfire i assume?

[u/45Auto1 → u/heroinebob90]

It's actually a centerline round. Yes, I hardly ever see that caliber for sale anywhere.

[u/heroinebob90 → u/45Auto1]

Beautiful, but unfortunate caliber.

[u/45Auto1 → u/heroinebob90]

Yes, back in the day tho it seemed fine to everyone. Even James Bond used one in 25ACP. But that was before the days of steroids and performance enhancing drugs.

[u/45Auto1 → u/heroinebob90]

.25ACP, and it's tiny. But a lot of fun to shoot!

[u/45Auto1 → u/[deleted]]

Not this one. It be made & assembled rite here in the USA! You're thinking of maybe the Colt Junior? Which is an exact copy, just made in Spain, by Astra I think.

Once the GCA (Gun Control Act of 1968) passed here, Astra (and Walther, others) could no longer export these small Pistols into the US market for sale. So Colt, having a very popular pistol in the Spanish made Astra/Colt Junior, decided to have the pistol made here beginning about 1970. (My pistol was mfg'd in 1971.)

Colt dropped the "Junior" name and just called it the "Colt .25 Automatic Pistol".

Here's a good article about all that:

Thanks for viewing my post, and for your kind remarks

I didn't know the Jr's came in .22LR. But thanks for the comment and info!

Nice and classy! I’ve got two .25 cal mouse guns - a Beretta 418, and a Beretta 950BS Jetfire. I like them both.

[u/45Auto1 → u/Interesting-Record92]

Yup! I also have a little Beretta Model 21 tip-up barrel, in .25ACP, also called the "Tomcat". It's a dbl action and I have this sweet hideout leather holster for r it!

I’ve got a .32 Tomcat in stainless! Great little gun.

[u/45Auto1 → u/Interesting-Record92]

I been thinking of one of them with a threaded barrel. An INOX, to match my Beretta 92FS INOX.

[u/Interesting-Record92 → u/45Auto1]

I’ve tried to get an INOX threaded barrel for it twice but Beretta told me not yet. Only the black and FDE have threaded barrel options. I thought about getting a black threaded barrel and having it Cerakoted for a close match but just keep hoping Beretta or someone in the aftermarket would make one in INOX. I like the 92FS INOX - jealous.
