Mouse Gun thread

[silicosys4]

LGS had one of these for pretty cheap. I didn't have the super deep concealed/tuxedo/mouse gun niche covered, so why not.
Very well-made gun, as all the reviews say.
I used to scoff at mouse guns when I was younger. While I might still be of the opinion that there are almost always better carry options, there is something intrinsically fascinating to me about miniaturized mechanical objects, the design and engineering necessary, and the machining needed to make them function reliably.
I ordered a nice Don Hume pocket holster for it, so after some range time, It will be my "never without" pocket gun.

Lets see your mouse guns!

The old Jennings isn't much smaller than a Ruger LCP.

I wanted a Seacamp back in the 90's when they were THE mouse gun to have. Few other options then and they had the market well cornered. However, they were $$$ ($700 or so IIRC due to mark ups) back then with a long waiting list. Later in life I was able to get one (both it and I are less cool now it seems). Very well made pistol and a think an excellent value at current prices. Yes, it is small, too small for some and has little to no sights on it. But, made like a nice watch.

Back in the early 90's a Beretta 21a was my back up as I could at least get one of those. Again, wasn't as many options in that space as there are now.

Great to see another forum member appreciating a Seacamp!

I also like the Kel Tec 32. It also has a lot going for it as a little pocket gun. Much more utilitarian, but well made and runs.

what about a hamster gun?

Ruger LCP max!!! 10rd of the good stuff

 

[Fyrstyk]

My mouse gun is a AMT back-up in .380. Small, but effective at the ranges it is intended for. My other back-up gun is a High Standard .22 mag derringer.

 

[Gork10]

Can I play. A colt 1903 made in 1917. Only mouse gun I own.

The old faithful LCP stoked full of bear loads.

Hard to beat an LCP or LCP Max.

Not all are mouse guns, but they’re all the small guns that I have.



I haven’t had what I’ll call a true mouse gun since a former cleaning lady snorked my Beretta 950 .25 ACP back in the early 1990’s.

Stay safe.

Today’s revolver would count if it weren’t a 3” gun. It’s an INA tiger 32. Very similar to a S&W i-frame or a Rossi Princess. My 11yr old can’t shoot a J frame well period and not at all one handed because she is very small for her age in all dimensions including the hands. She was excited that she can shoot it 1 handed.
If you don’t like revolvers then you’re stuck with the soul-less plastic fantastic Ruger EC9s. Not a mouse gun in power, but it’s very small for a 9mm. Any smaller and I have trouble shooting it. Mine is gray plastic frame with black coating on the slide.

They aren't for everyone, but I like my Pico.

I have no pictures ready, but I also like mousers. Started with my J-22 back in 1987. Others I currently own include the LWS-32 that started this thread, an Italian Beretta 950B Jetfire (no safety), Beretta 21A Bobcat (.22LR), Phoenix HP22A, Taurus PT22, Taurus PT25 (two of these), Kel-Tec P32, three NAA revolvers (one each in .22S, .22LR, and .22WMR), a Davis derringer in .32ACP, and a Bauer .25.

I don't count anything in a caliber larger than .32, so my pocket .380s didn't make the cut.

No pix but I have a few mouse guns

KelTec P32 (32ACP)
Baby Browning (25 ACP)
Beretta Jetfire (25 ACP)
Beretta long barrel Minx (22 Short).
KelTec P3AT (380 ACP)

I do not like shooting the P3AT as the light weight and power of the 380 is a difficult combination to hsndle.

I subscribe to the statement that “a hit with a small caliber gun trumps a miss with anything larger”.

For these little pistols, I kind of loke the tip up barrel feature on the Berettas. Easy loading and unloading without disturbing the magazine.

That was my situation too...just too rich for my blood. The new prices for them would make it very tempting if I ran across one...in either .25ACP or .32ACP

My mouse gun collection is a bit limited
Jennings...which shoots very well
Beretta 21A...which is cool but not very reliable (was really looking for a Jetfire, but couldn't fine one)
Colt Pocket Auto .25ACP...which was give to me; and has "history" he wouldn't share with me

 

[Tallball]

I have a few small 22's, 25's, and 32's, but this is the only tiny pistol I ever carry.

Better than a big pistol for fast and up close, IMHO.

Ruger LCPII 380acp

I have an affinity for mouse guns, no idea why. Not very practical but I do like the challenge of trying to hit something at distance with one. Actually looking at Beretta Minx to add to my “small” collection.

Beretta 418.

 

[WYO]

I was an early adopter of the Seecamp .32 ACP. It was worthless for anything but card table distances, and it was inaccurate due to the absence of sights, harsh on the trigger finger in recoil, and slow to shoot. More recently I got an LCP Max and had only slightly better results. I got rid of both, although I understand the fascination with the engineering of miniaturized guns. The lowest I can justify for a really bad situation is a Glock 42 in a pocket. The NAA Pug is a novelty. I wouldn't carry that unless limited to carrying in a bathing suit inside pocket.
