I had a Colt Junior for a while back in the 1960's. Mine was made by Astra, I believe, in .25ACP. If I recall correctly it came with wooden grips bearing gold Colt medallions. It was a cute novelty but not impressive to shoot. I would never have used it for self defense. | ||||||

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: I had a FFL back in the 60's and 70's and sold a surprising number of these to doctors that made house calls. Not much of a defensive weapon but easily carried in the pocket and better than nothing.

Production of this model continued into 1968 when the Gun Control of Act of 1968 essentially stopped the importation of certain types of firearms and forced production of this Spanish made Colt to cease.
