The story begins with John Moses Browning, the famous inventor of the 1911 pistol. He designed the .25 ACP (6.35×16 mm SR) semi-rimmed pistol cartridge for what would become the M1905 Vest Pocket pistol. It was literally designed to fit in a business man's vest pocket, the one usually reserved for coins. By 1931, Fabrique Nationale d’Armes de Guerre in Herstal, Belgium (FN) launched an even smaller .25 ACP pistol developed by the company’s chief designer, Dieudonné Saive.
The Baby Browning in .25 ACP.
It was dubbed the Baby Browning for the market cachet his name offered, even though Mr. Browning had passed away in 1926. It is a simpler and more refined pistol than the 1905 with features that included a magazine safety and a more intuitive external thumb safety lever, which was moved from the slide down behind the trigger guard. The Baby Browning finally made its way into the U.S. market when the Browning Arms Co. decided to carry it in 1954.
It was a popular seller for several years because of its small size, reliability and high quality of manufacture. However, when the Gun Control Act of 1968 kicked into gear, the Baby Browning was among those small defensive handguns banned from importation. FN continued to make it until 1979, including beautifully hand engraved Renaissance models and the Lightweight version with its 6061-T6-aluminum frame.
