Built in Fraser, Michigan, this Bauer Automatic follows the Baby Browning pattern with all-stainless 416 investment-cast construction. Its compact, micro-size frame and stainless finish extend to the slide, frame, and receiver, delivering a cohesive look and feel appropriate to the model and era.
The pistol uses a simple blowback, single-action, striker-fired system. It is chambered in .25 ACP with a 2.1 in stainless barrel and a 6+1 capacity, aligning with the classic pocket-pistol format of its time.
Fixed, integral sights are paired with a finely serrated anti-glare rib along the top of the slide. Rear grasping serrations aid manipulation, and the smooth curved trigger provides a straightforward interface.
A two-position thumb safety locks the slide for carry or takedown. For disassembly, the barrel rotates clockwise, which is the opposite direction of the Baby Browning. The right side of the frame’s serial area also bears an additional "S" stamp below.
Visual details include a stainless finish throughout and smooth pearlescent faux‑pearl grips that complement the pistol’s compact stainless profile.
