I need an education on .25 and .32 caliber handguns

Thanks for the photo. If I knew how to do that, I would have.

The auction photos show a model number of GR4002 on the box, but the PSA site doesn't list it . I found this description on an old auction for the same model;

You got a great deal on that one, usp9!

 

[JERRY]

the beretta 950 and 950BS are very nice .25acps.

I concur with those who pocket carry the LWS32......

 

[jrdolall]

Looks like the .32 is the best option of the two based on ammo costs.

Like I said I have always bypassed these two calibers but have been taking a look lately. If a good deal pops up on either one I will probably pick one up just to say I have one. I am not opposed to carrying a lighter caliber but, like I said, I have a pocket .380 and 9mm that I am very happy with for this purpose. I know quite a few people that carry a .22 because of the light recoil.

They are fun guns .

They're both fun guns to shoot. But, I have large thick hands and the tiny 25 autos I've fired are too diffucult for me to operate. I find the .32 a.c.p. Colt 08 is a pure JOY to shoot. Mild recoil, VERY reliable, and can often be found (often sans finish) at reasonable prices. No one mentioned reloading, but either will toss your brass away under EVERY pebble or blade of grass. COUNT on losing about 10-15% of your brass every time you shoot one of these tiny guns. Yes, I reload both.

Just go to the auction site, right click on a picture, copy image URL, click post reply on this site or use the quick reply box below, click the yellow icon that looks like a mountain with the sun above it, paste the URL in the box, and hit OK. The click submit reply.

Now you try it. We need more pics of that gun.

Second pic of the PSA baby... I hope.



took two tries. Thanks. That's a neat thing to know.

from another auction... a different gun but same model.

 

[Cokeman]

You've done well.

To have one, just cuz is fun.
But the short sight radius makes 'em both VERY hard to hit the broad side of a barn (from the inside)

I'll agree that they aren't a target pistol, but I have an old Browning vest pocket that I really like to plink with.

If ammo was more affordable I would enjoy shooting it weekly.
