Description

Very nice Bauer 25 auto. Made from 1972-1984. These were a copy of the Baby Browning made in all stainless steel. I carried one as a backup gun back in the day. This one was also carried by an officer and shows handling marks and light scratches. But overall very nice. $SPF

From Wikipedia:

The Bauer Automatic is an American-made copy of the Baby Browning. Made of stainless steel, they are chambered in .25 ACP with a six-round capacity detachable box magazine. The Bauer was manufactured in Fraser, Michigan from 1972–1984. The pistol was marketed as the Fraser-25 from 1984 to 1986.

The Bauer .25 Automatic was made of precision machined 416 stainless steel investment castings and fitted by hand. The pistol features a two-position thumb safety. One position locks the slide while the other position locks the slide in the disassembly position, allowing the user to rotate the barrel clock-wise 45 degrees and remove the entire slide (rather than counterclockwise-as is the case with the FN Baby Browning pistol, to avoid copyright infringement claims from FN).

Factory options included “white pearl” (plastic) or wood grips, and a variety of holsters. An engraved version was manufactured for the Bicentennial in 1976.

Many parts interchange with the FN Baby Browning, including grips, magazines, and various internal parts.
