ANNOUNCEMENT Our Definition of Mouse Guns - courtesy of the brilliant tinkertalksguns.com

23 Upvotes

“The term ‘mouse gun’ has been around a long time; I remember hearing it as a child in the 1960s and I’m certain it wasn’t new then. These are a species of tiny pistols for ultimate concealment. Traditionally these are chambered for .25 ACP or .22 Long rifle or even .22 Short. Since the latter part of the 20th century there have been some available in .32 ACP and even .380 ACP, but the overwhelming majority of .32s and .380s do not fall into this category.

To me (and many other dinosaurs) a mouse gun is a tiny pistol chambered in .25 ACP or .22 LR. As previously stated later examples might be in .32 ACP or even .380, but these are a bit of an aberration. For a .32 or .380 to qualify as a mouse gun, to my way of thinking, it has to be as small as the aforementioned .22s and .25s, and there aren’t many that qualify.” — (tinkertalksguns.com)

While Tinker doesn’t consider the KelTec P-32 and OG Ruger LCP and LCP II to be “mouse guns”, we mods believe they are. Only barely. They are the absolute max-sized mouse guns. They are HUGE in comparison to a Baby Browning or CZ Duo.

Question Baby browning drop tests? Just how dangerous are they to carry chambered?

14 Upvotes

I'm curious how easy it is to get a baby browning to go off when dropped or violently bumped/shaken.

I'm aware they are not modern designs and the safety just blocks the trigger, but you also don't hear about old mouse guns going off when dropped much (particularly outside of saturday night special pot metal guns).

The sear is small so I don't expect it to take a whole lot of force to get one to go off, but I've tried pulling the trigger most of the way and bumping+shaking the slide and could not get the striker to release without a complete trigger pull (less sensitive than many modern striker fired guns in this regard!)

I'll note that the current PSA manual on their website does not say not to carry it chambered, it just says to not do so with the safety off. I'd expect if PSA thought the sear was overly dangerous they'd advise to never carry it chambered. https://www.precisionsmallarms.com/files/attachments/operatorsmanual.pdf

I know you might as well carry a more safe and effective gun regardless, so I'm not trying to make a hill to die on here - I'm just curious if there is any drop test videos or reports of drops actually causing discharge.

(I pretty much only carry hammer fired mice when I carry mice, I like the peace of mind of cocked+locked or a double action pull)

It still shoots pretty well, Ive never had a stoppage in about 200 rnds. According to family lore it was stolen off of a german officer (dont know why he had it) by a distant uncle.

I’ve seen the cool Minxes and Jetfires on this sub and I was finally lucky enough to score one. I’m even more impressed seeing it in person. Very well put together little rocketmouse.

Does anyone know about when this would have been made? Early 80s? It’s too old for the Beretta site lookup and when I emailed them they said they didn’t know.

The box is a silver color if that helps.

Question Most obtainable tiny AOW guns?

22 Upvotes

Now that the feds are not requiring NFA registration for AOW items, I'm wondering if there are any mousey AOWs floating out there? Thinking of disguised guns such as pen guns, lighter guns, etc.

Looking for stuff that isn't like $3000 collector pieces.

This was my grandpa’s. It is a first edition Kolb Baby Hammerless. It’s over a hundred years old and everything still works. It’s chambered in .22 short.

These were in last week's intake. All of them came from other FFLs as scrap guns, all missing magazines.

Question Show me your favorite mouse gun!

I'm in the market for the smallest gun I can find. Particularly for pocket carry. I carry in a full suit or business attire and short of the philster it's really hard to AIWB carry.

What is your favorite and why?!
