Description:
This Belgian made FN Baby Browning chambered in .25 AUTO / ACP was manufactured in 1967 and is quite likely one of the last of the last Baby Brownings to be imported prior to the 1968 GCA taking effect. Overall condition on this firearm is excellent, and it has not been hardly used at all. A couple minor marks on the slide and frame but firearm is still 95%. No real signs of blue wear or rust on the bluing. Build quality of this firearm is top-notch as is anything that comes out of the FN factory in Belgium. Pictures are of the exact firearm that you will receive!
The FN Baby Browning is a small blowback-operated semi-automatic pistol designed by Dieudonné Saive based on a design by John Browning (among Browning's last designs) and chambered in .25 ACP (6.35×16mmSR). The pistol features a six-round magazine capacity and is a striker-fired, single action, blow back mechanism. The manual thumb operated safety locks the slide in the closed position when engaged using side thumb pressure.
FN manufactured and marketed the Baby Browning pistol from 1931 until 1979, though exports to the USA only took place between 1953-1968. About 500,000 units were produced, including the hand chiseled engraved "Renaissance" and the "Lightweight" version. The halt to exports to the USA in 1968 was dictated by the Gun Control Act of 1968 which was precipitated by Robert Kennedy's assassination involving an Iver Johnson made revolver and signed into law by then President Lyndon Johnson. This federal legislation forbade the importation of certain firearms, among them the Baby Browning pistol. FN transferred production of the Baby Browning pistol to Manufacture d'armes de Bayonne ("MAB") during 1979. Based in France, MAB produced the pistol from 1979 until 1983 when bankruptcy forced it to shut down. Baby Browning pistol production ceased in Europe at that time and has not been revived.
