Ian Fleming had one issued to him in WWII . Possibly a FN, but the serial number from his estate matches a Colt , 1908 ... Thus James Bond .25 was born ...
This is by far my favorite .25 caliber pistol have 4 plus a Colt Jr type external hammer pistol version. Bore condition is the key to penetration an essential factor in a self defense caliber. The quality of these little pistols is amazing ..all steel guns hand fitted a popular weapon for self defense a before WW2 and even after. Nice review.
@Cargo2x Yes overall it's the best and safest in my opinion have had several and gave my last example to my youngest brother who loves that little gun.
@@ProllyCargo Speaking for myself I have had three Berettas, one in .22 Short. However my thumb hits that added on safety, by law , engaging it so it made it a one shot gun , until I removed the safety, pre 1968 model, to solve it . I prefer the 1908, Colt as the best design ever, no hassles ...
alot of people think if you pull out the magazine the gun is unloaded. so there have been a few "accidents" because they did not know about the one in the chamber. hence the disconnect.
I would think a very nice original finish early gun could go over $1000 pretty easily to the right buyer. Typical average examples tend to fetch over 400 pretty easily.
