I remember those, and had one for a short time. They were made by Astra if I remember correctly. I sold mine to a collector happy to get one like new in the box. I'd put a couple of boxes of shells through it but it still looked like new. | ||||||

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Back when I had my FFL I sold a lot of these to doctors who, in those days, still made house calls day and night. Not a "man stopper" by any stretch but they did go "BANG" and the little slugs would upset your tummy. Image below from TJ Parmele - Image Title: Colt Junior .25 ACP Image Info: This model was called the Colt Junior and was introduced and first offered for sale in 1958. 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.
