Top 10 Mouse Guns : Pocket Monsters 

I am an funeral assistant in Brazil, and a worked a lot in Shot Victims Morgues. These "weak" calibers almost every time perforated at least two vital organs of the victims. This weapons are very dangerous.. In São Paulo i saw in past a Police Man that died when a .22lr revolver shoted in short distnce and crossed an expired bulletproof vest.

I had someone tell me one day that the .22 in your pocket is better than the .45 you left at home

Understanding the mission of a pocket gun, any caliber is really fine. It’s for breaking contact with the enemy, not for taking him into custody. Beretta Bobcat is my choice. Reliable with good ammo, very easy to shoot, safe in the pocket, rugged and small.

I love them all. I carried a Bauer 25 acp in a empty cuff case on my belt as a backup when I was a cop many many years ago in North Chicago

I inherited a Colt 1908 25 ACP vest pocket from my great grandfather who bought it new in the early 1920's and treasure it. I also have a Taurus PT22 and that is another mouse gun that is a ton of fun to shoot.

A “mouse” gun in the pocket is better than a full sized bullet launcher in the safe.

I have one of the Berettas you were holding. Bought it after someone attempted to rob my wife as we left her restaurant late one night and I did not have my full sized sidearm on me. I have carried it everywhere since that night. side note, the perp had a bad night as I was carrying a 1 gallon can of paint home and as he tried to wrestle a deposit bag away from her, I crushed that can over his head. If I had been armed, he would not have walked away.

Beretta .22: "It's just so cute." I love it!

Those are sweet. I had a old Colt 25. It was a great pocket gun.

I carry the NA Arms in 22 magnum as a backup and it is a great little get off me gun.

I bought a Beretta 950 Jetfire and a Glock 19 for $400 total a few years ago at a pawn shop. Definitely the best used gun haul I've had, unfortunately the Taliban has my haul beat 😂

I have two baby Browning's, and they're my go to. They just fit my hands so nicely.

My first BUG when I started my LE career was a Beretta 21A in .22LR. Years went by and I sold it to another fellow who refused to listen to my safety briefing. He was a vet, knew "all about these" etc., etc. He was not listening when I warned him about the lack of extractor or ejector. He "cleared" it one night by dropping the mag and racking the slide. He also failed to notice nothing came out of the chamber. He then pulled the trigger and had to fill out an incident report with his agency on why he had a .22 caliber bullet wound through his hand. He called me later and apologized for not listening. He became a much better listener after that. Sometimes we all just need an object lesson. ;)

My grandfather was given the Beretta 950 and other small firearm when he was about 8 years old by his father who was like part of the Ministry of the police in Mexico.

My most effective mouse gun is the Kel-Tec p32. I love mouse gun reviews

The beretta 950 jetfire would be excellent for concealed carry and a self defense weapon. Wish I had one.

My wife has a cool little Raven Arms 25 ACP. Surprisingly we've been able to find ammo for it.

My grandfather passed down his Beretta Minx when he passed, and it’s definitely one of my favorite guns to shoot for fun!

Another good vid Sootch. I really hate the term, "mouse gun". I am pretty sure that no one shot by a mouse gun, would ever call it that. I have a big variety of carry guns, but a new 380 has moved into first place for me. As I have heard Hickok45 say, " a gun is a gun", no matter the caliber. I agree.

OK boys.... I will never refer to my "pocket pistols" or "mouse guns" as such ever again! They are now POCKET MONSTERS - thanks Mr. Sootch for the new phase - love it.

Purchased my Jetfire new in the early/mid 90s. I don't currently carry guns but I love this little pistol. My three kings are my Jetfire, S&W 4013 and Ruger Mark 2 Target. I've owned other guns and still own the excellent Glock 19 but those 3 are like vintage cars that I plan to keep for the rest of my life

Amen. LIKE the Seecamp for its concealability & power. Also like the NAA Side Winder for its concealabilty. For primary I like the S & W Governor - not 6 shots, 6 HITS with 410.

Surprised to see that I own a few of these mouse guns. I have the original LCP, the Pug Mini Revolver and my grandfather left me his Seecamp. A pistol I will never get rid of.

Just bought an old German Walther 25 at a pawn shop. Very fun little gun

Went to the gun store to purchase a mouse gun 22 lr, came home with a taurus tx22, no regrets, lots of fun.

I love how Beretta re-introduce the 21-A with a threaded barrel to use as a suppressor host

Awesome video Sootch, been waiting for another mouse gun vid. A top 10 was definitely worth the wait..👍🇺🇸

No truer words have been spoken, "Mouse guns can be addictive". For as many as I already cherish, this collection has me wanting a couple more. If you don't think one may be enough... carry another. Great video.

Thanks buddy for the video. I got my Mother in laws Colt 25 that she carried back in the day. She fended off two attackers with it.

I'm still happy with my Smith and Wesson M&P Body Guard 380 auto. When it was time to get a mouse gun, I went the Smith and Wesson, since I'm a Smith and Wesson guy. My Bodyguard has at least 500 rounds through it, without any issues.

I have the Ortgies in 380 and love shooting it. And as you said, it is history in your pocket.

I carried a Beretta .25 in my boot as a back up in uniform for years. I sold in when I retired (mistake) in ‘97 & carry a post 2013 LCP or 340PD now.

I have a Tanfoglio giuseppe 25acp. Also called the Saturday night special, it's an awesome little gun.

Great video. Thank you .brought back some memories. I actually remember my dad taking several Jack Rabbits with the .22 short Astra. I have the Berreta M21 in .22 LR and I love it! God bless all here.

Seecamp 32 all day. I have 2. Missing is the Keltec 32 which is also excellent. I have 2 of them as well. I might add that a proper pocket or wallet holster is necessary. These guns may be small but they could safe your life.

Kel-tec P32 is my fav micro from my bunch. 6oz. $225.00.

Kel Tec p32

Honorable mention.....the Beretta Tomcat. 32ACP

I made a TON of the "Baby Browning" .25 autos under the PSP name for domestic sales and the Browning name for export when I worked for Precision Small Parts in Charlottesville, VA. I can attest to them being excellent pistols. We were told at the time by a visiting State Police representative that it was the preferred backup and undercover pistol for State Police officers due to their small size, capacity, and reliability. Designed by none other than John Browning, it still has a place in this world and is relevant even today. We had one test pistol in the vault that I'd run proof loads through, and even after having logged well over 100 proof loads, it showed NO signs of fatigue and was just as tight and accurate as it was for the first 6 "normal" loads. Great pistols, if you can find one of the original "PSP .25" guns (not the later "PSA .25" guns, which I won't go into).

The LCP Max is the current King of pocket guns imo. A reliable design with up to 13 round capacity in a capable caliber, in a pistol that shoots much softer than you'd think AND has good, usable sights (and tritium at that)....all the size of your palm. You can also get them for about $369 in a lot of places. Put the 99 grain federal hst in it and your attacker is going to need a coroner.

I have a Model 20 Beretta. Minty condition. Fairly rare. Love it.

Love my Magnum Research Micro Desert Eagle in 380 ACP Stainless steel. They stopped making them in 2014 but are they nice guns. Also my Beretta Tomcat 32 ACP in Inox with the Super rosewood checkered grips from Altamont. I also have a mint condition Colt Model 1908 Vest Pocket mfd in 1910. It's a very, very small pistol.

I can see why these become so addictive to collect! Back in the 90s when I was a cop I believe it was the Japanese police forces used the Barreta .32 tomcat, which I may have to try to locate one to buy later this summer or fall this year!

I have many, including the pre-safety Jetfire, a Bauer 25, Seecamp 32, two NAA revolvers, Kel-Tec P32, the LCP MAX, and a smattering of others. Love these little works of art.

I hate tiny guns but I held a new Tomcat at my local gun store a couple weeks ago and was SO tempted to buy it on the spot. It felt really really good in the hand for a tiny gun.

Love my bobcat always carry it in the pocket

Mouse guns are SO COOL to collect. Love my Beretta 950, but also the Baby Browning. Oh yeah…Let’s not forget my Seecamp in .32. So addictive. 😂

These are all so innovative and fun. I love the tip-up barrel. Thanks for showing and shooting all of them, because I know you had to clean them all afterwards!

I absolutely love my LCP II in .380. Picked it up from Palmetto for like $199, it's a great shooter for it's size.

Love my Seecamp! Wish you'd have shown the wallet size holster. Rides in the back pocket of my Wranglers with zero print. The Beretta Tomcat always stuck out a little and hammer bite was a problem.

Had a new Beretta .25 auto yrs ago wished I would have kept it. Only pocket pistol I could actually hit beer cans with & didn't jam up. Sweet little piece. Only payed $50 for it off a co worker.

I still have one of the old Titans in the 25 ACP. Definitely a reliable pocket pistol or mouse gun.

The Colt Junior was made for Colt by Astra until 1968 when it could no longer be imported. Colt started making them themselves and production ran till 1973. The Astra guns are marked made for Colts on the left side of the frame. Astra also produced a small quantity of the Junior in 22 short for Colt

I would love to see what a Jerry Miculek-type could do with that Seecamp with no sights

My daily carry is the m and p bodyguard .380. Have a +1 magguts, 7+1, and a pinky extension for a full three finger grip. Painted the front sight white for better target acquisition. I load it with either Hornady critical defense or Federal hydrashock. I'll regularly shoot 300+ rounds at the range and it just begs for more. Keep it in a desantis nemesis pocket holster. Not a single hiccup after thousands of rounds.

My first pistol was a new 950b in 1968, still have & carry. Also have Beretta 71 & Bersa thunder 22. Also have 9mm S&W, 10mm S&W, .40 S&W , .40 Sig, AMT Backup.45, among others, carry ' all, love 'em all! Always wanted a PPK, thinking about it now that I can get it in stainless. Used to have a P-38, I regret selling it. Got my S&W 1006 10mm under my coat right now; big, loud, heavy recoil, all manageable, but it delivers. Also .45 Backup in side picket. Awful recoil, but manageable, and final. Dont laugh at .25s, tho, my dad always said "6 rounds outta one'll make a guy awful sick". His first pistol was a .25 baby Browning, a 21st birthday gift from his dad in 1925. Like to have inherited that!

I own two of these - the NAA Pug in .22WMR, and the LifeCard in .22WMR. I need to add to my collection. Sticky Holsters actually makes a holster for the NAA Pug, and it sits upright in the bottom of your pants pocket.

I’ve got a Beretta 950 BS. Love it. The flip up barrel caught my attention. It is small, but deceiving.

Love, love, love you doing a video on this! And you are absolutely right - shooting and collecting these are all about just enjoying firearms. Mouse guns that roar are just plain fun

I’d gladly pick up a Beretta .32 pistol…except the ammo is ridiculously expensive

I have one of the first generation Keltec 3at's. It's been very reliable. Lightweight. 👍

My Beretta 950 in .25 is my Favorite pocket mouse gun

Love a good pocket pistol, my favorite in my collection is my I-frame S&W Terrier in .38 S&W

Pocket Monsters? Well looks like I gotta catch em all!

A blast from the past video. Awesome to see the guns that were beautiful and ran excellent. Thanks.

I ordered a 21a Bobcat Covert a few days ago, this video was meant for me, I can't wait to get it and thread can on it

Love my Beretta Tomcat. Small enough to easily conceal at work (or just t-shirt weather) but still a valid threat deterrent.

A mint boxed Astra Cub with paperwork from 1966 will hit GBO next week. Also a mint boxed G17 First gen. with all. And a mint Colt officer. Happy bidding. Thanks for this interesting "mouse "review.

I have a Beretta Tomcat in the .32 ACP caliber and it's fun! I have recently acquired a Ruger LCP Max, and is my new favorite small pistol!

Great video Sootch00. Besides my routine 9mm/380 carry, I carry both a NAA 22 mini revolver and a Beretta 21A INOX. I jog early each morning and I always carry the NAA 22 with me while doing so. I also carry the 21A in a pocket holster quite a bit simply because it is so convenient regardless of what I'm wearing. I feel fairly well armed with either of these.

My Brother and I both bought our Raven 25's at the same time back around 1992 paid like $76.00 out the door ...Mine ejected the the spent casing out the side .My brothers would eject his over his. Head and the hot casing would go down the back of his shirt and he would start break Dancing to get it out of his shirt

My XL hand and my snobbishness for triggers eliminate mouse guns for me. Tried them. Sold them. My G42 with plus two mag extensions, Houge grip, undercut trigger and a Johnny Glock trigger job is AMAZING! Hot Underwood/:Lehigh Xtreme Defender rounds.

I have the Beretta Tomcat 32 ACP, then I went and bought the Beretta 81 cheetah in 32 ACP

I love mouse guns. I have the Beretta 950BS, Beretta 20, Beretta 21, Browning Baby, PSA 25, Bauer 25, Beretta Tomcat 32, Walther THP 25, Walther #9, Colt Junior, Colt Vest Pocket, Keltec P32, Seecamp 32, NAA Mini Revolvers in 22short, LR and WMR, Colt Mustang, S&W 31, 36, and H&K HK4

I am glad you said sub 380. 380 used to be considered a mouse caliber, but I don’t think you can consider it as such anymore. It is at least as good as 9 mm was back in the 80s, and it is what I currently carry every day, when I’m not carrying my 38 special. I love my Beretta cheetah, and my Smith and Wesson model 36! The .22mag is no joke, either!

I love videos like this...nice job!

Ya made my 22 pistol look beautiful cause it is.

Great topic. The Keltec P32 is another favorite still in production and very light and reliable.

My favorite is the Baby Browning. There is a stainless copy of the Browning that is almost identical. The Berretta tip barrels are really nice. There are some Italian “25’s” that are based on the Walter fixed barrel design that came in prior to 1968 that are dead on accurate. The Galesi is pretty nice. And then there is the Colt vest pocket “25” that is a Browning design.

The beretta is nice. Thanks for another great video

The Beretta 950 Jetfire is my favorite too. I keep mine ready to go and it finds it's way into my pocket or over-night bag fairly often. Mine is a 1964 950B. The "B" model has improved safety (inertial firing pin, I believe) making it safer to carry loaded with the hammer down. The BS model came about after the infamous 1968 Gun Control Act as that safety made it legal for import. Mine, being a 1964 model, lacks that tiny safety but I'd rather thumb back the hammer anyway. One other advantage of the tip-up barrel is for hammer-down carry. If you cock it and decide not to shoot, you can tip up the barrel to manually lower the hammer without risking a whooopsie. ;)

I'm always so excited to see something that interests me on this channel. Your reviews are absolutely amazing.

I have a KEL- TEC 3ATP! LOVE IT 8 OUNCES. VERY FLAT. You rarely see these on Y- tube ? I use only hornady critical defense feeds Excellent!

...my late wife loved this little 'mouse gun'...I carry it now...it'll at least get perp's attention long enough for me to get to my 1911 primary carry

Ruger LCP 2 👌

Beretta Bobcat is 🔥 🔥 🔥

Carry my little Walther TPH .22LR everyday as a B/U EDC. Love it.

Thanks Sooch love it have several now use the ruger lcp max

Love these little guys!

Still have my .380 Taurus 738 TCP. Sadly it was kinda replaced by the Taurus Spectrum. Still have hundreds of rounds of .380, and I'm still considering replacing my TCP with another. 380. Thanks for the video to give me ideas!

Love the channel ... I collect these little pistons too ... thanks for putting all the time it takes to make these vids

For the last 20 years I've carried a little secamp us it is function flawlessly and it's surprisingly accurate for a mouse gun with no sights

What about the Beretta Tomcat in .32 ACP? I used to swear by the .22 and .25 ACP Bobcat, but i wanted a same-size pocket pistol with more authority, and I now swear by the Tomcat and love the .32 ACP round. Keep it by the front door, JIC, but for my all-grown-up mousegu , the Ruger LCP II in .380 Auto. Too small a pistol to enjoy shooting the .380 (I understand why you like the .25 and .22 for plinking), but for self-protection, I prefer a .32 or especially a .380. Thanks for a good program

I have almost all of these. I got a serious slide bite from the PSA! I like the 25 colt the best!

I know people squawk but that's because they don't actually know... The Keltec .380 is still the lightest/smallest .380 out there, it's easy to shoot, very dependable and surprisingly accurate. I've had mine a long time (Ruger liked them enough to copy the hell out of it) and with Xtreme Defender ammo, it gets the job done while fitting in a small pocket, ankle holster, etc. and you don't even know it's there (and neither does anyone else). People like to complain about KelTec quality (which is vastly improved) but this is a simple, easy to service, goes bang every time pistol that is easy to shoot and control, even in my giant hands. And I want one of those 950BS's. 😀

I had a 22lr Poenix; nice gun but HELL to put back together.

My Philosophy is theyre meant to be shot one-handed. I never train with two hands on my mouse gun.

I always wanted one of those little Raven Arms .25 autos. I thought it was such a neat little Pistol, especially for the $69.00 price back in 1986 when I saw one.

Beretta 21A in .25. Some guy was selling a batch of them off for $150 each, and I should have bought three of them! I got a lot of laughs at the gun shop when I picked it up, but it was my main carry gun while driving a taxi. Fit in my right bib overall pocket for left hand draw . . . and if I ever had to shoot inside the cab, it wouldn't make my ears bleed like a 9mm would. Saved my life once, so well worth the $150!

I have an Ortgies in .25 and .32. That little .25 is a very accurate gun, much more so than my Beretta 21A in .25.
