The Rise and Fall of the 25 Auto - Remembering the Past

We’re back again with Andrew and another Remembering the Past video. Andrew takes us on a nostalgic tour of how the 25 Auto cartridge revolutionized pocket pistols when introduced in 1905. But how did this iconic "mouse gun" calibre fall out of favor? Andrew explores the 25 Auto's fascinating history, from its origins with John Browning to the classic Colt and FN/Browning models it spawned. See unique examples from our collections, such as a perfect '66 Baby Browning, Galesi .25 auto and a time capsule Colt 1908. Learn how the Gun Control Act of 1968 killed importation of these classic pocket guns, opening the door for domestic knockoffs. With its European flair and art deco pedigree, the 25 Auto was America's mouse gun of choice for decades. Rediscover a lost chapter in firearms history in this viral journey through the 25 Auto's rise and untimely and unfortunate fall. Don’t forget to like and subscribe!
