25 Auto is one of those "why bother" nuisance calibers.

Imagine trying to reload that!

Mostly will just piss someone off unless you get lucky.

Execution style.

If you are farther than arms length you will probably miss anyway.

What sort of pistol ammo was steel cased? Only stuff I've seen so far is the 9 x 18 Makarov, which works well.

Wolf, Tul Ammo, and (I think) Blazer. But maybe that's aluminum. Not brass either way.

Jetfire or a Minx(?)

Jetfire or a Minx(?)

Jetfire. Its .25 ACP. The Minx is .22 short. Despite its size its fairly comfortable to shoot. Very unusual for a .25 for sure. Feels a lot like a shrunken Beretta 92 with a 1911 trigger. Not something I would seriously use for self defense but an interesting little pistol.

I bought it a long time ago and paid about $100-120 for it. I figured it was worth it at that price. Still was about twice what the garbage .25's were selling for at the time but huge difference in quality.

I'd be afraid of shooting my own finger off on a panic.

22 Short for when the 25 auto is too much.lol

Always thought the little Colt Mustang was a neat baby 1911, though I have never tried one.

I saw a couple of guys with those at the shooting range. They couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. I don't know if the problem was them or the pistols.

I'm gonna guess them considering I can bullseye my Bobcat clone.

The hardest times I've had getting things on the paper were with my Dad's Star Firestar in in 40S&W and my buddy's Ruger P89. Could not hit the broad side of a barn with either.

I had a .45 Firestar that was pretty accurate. My stepson liked it and I gave it to him. My Ruger P85 might be lucky to shoot 3 or 4 inch groups at 25 yards. My stepson had a P89 with similar accuracy (or lack of) and got rid of his.

If you can't hold on to a little mouse gun how about one of these?

.44 mag Ruger Super Redhawk with 9 1/2 barrel and a 4x Leupold scope.

Rather have a carbine at that point.

I consider myself to be pretty good, but those 2 i mentioned just did not work for me.

Reminds me of the Dan Wesson Humongus had in "The Road Warrior".

.30 Carbine Blackhawk with a 2x Tasco and Hogue grips.
