Built in the 1970s–1980s era, this micro-size .25 ACP uses 416 stainless investment-cast components with hand fitting, giving it a robust stainless construction throughout the frame, receiver, and slide in a matte/brushed finish. The smooth pearlescent white grip panels provide a clean, period-correct look on a compact footprint.
The pistol operates via a striker-fired, blowback, single-action system and includes a manual safety. Capacity is 6+1, fed by a detachable single-stack magazine with five witness holes and a flat floorplate. Barrel length is 2.1 inches for an ultra-compact profile.
Sight features are true to the design: integral fixed sights with a small front blade and an integral rear notch. The slide includes rear vertical cocking serrations and longitudinal anti-glare serrations along the top to reduce glare under light.
Notable to the Bauer design, the takedown uses a clockwise barrel-rotation method that distinguishes it from the original FN pattern. As a U.S.-made stainless copy of the Baby Browning produced in Fraser, Michigan from 1972 to 1984, it reflects a specific American production chapter of this classic pocket pistol style.
