Do you have any "mouse guns"?

Wow, there's a lot i don't know LOL!

i thought a BB gun was a gun once.

Well, in a sense, it is:
a machine which uses a propellant gas to eject a projectile

BB guns just use compressed air instead of gases from burning gunpowder.

Thanks.

I'm ashamed to admit it, but the first gun I ever bought was a Bauer stainless steel 25 auto. I knew better, but I didn't have much money and wanted a gun that was easy to hide and carry.

I still have it, in pieces in the box. Maybe soon I'll get the time to re-assemble it.

Do you have any "mouse guns" or pocket pistols? What kind? What do you think of them?

The closest to one I have is a .380 Bersa. My mom has a .25 Baby Browning circa 1972 which is very reliable and sufficiently accurate for a pocket pistol. And like everybody says, better to have it when needed than a Colt .45 sitting at home because it was too large to conceal.

I'll bet the Browning is a quality gun.

I later bought a Jennings 22 (yes, it's junk), and it worked for a while until the magazine fell apart in my hand! I recently bought another mag and test-fired it the other day. Works great - for now.

I don't rely on it; it's just for fun.

Mom carried it when dispatching for the Sheriff's Dept in Orange, TX. It really is a quality piece. Solid and reliable.

About 20 years ago I bought a Llama 9mm which is a scaled down version of the 1911. Awesome gun in my opinion. But the company went out of business about the time I bought the gun so 15 or so years later when I decided to start prepping I wanted to get several more magazines. Well, none to be found but we discovered that the Colt 1911 9mm magazine would fit with about 1/2 inch sticking out the bottom. I bought two and went back to practicing with it when on about the 4th trip to the range the floorplate fell out of the original magazine. I couldn't believe it but it had been soldered to it rather than crimped so there was virtually nothing to hold the plate on. I have since found two more that were actually made for the Llama MiniMax so I am back to happy now, but I can't believe that any manufacturer wouldn't crimp the floor plates into the magazines. Just doesn't make sense because it is the easiest method of assembly.

It is and yes, it can kill a mouse. I don't like guns and don't like the idea of carrying concealed guns around but I have shot and killed a mouse with a BB. Sorry, but he started it!

You don't like concealed carry?! You just wait. One of these days one of those crazed mouses is going to jump out from a dark corner or a crevice where and when you least expect it. Right then you'll wish you had your concealed B+B Magnum Come Loud but noooo, you had to leave it at home. Suddenly, a License to Carry Concealed Handgun In The Waist Band or Belt Licensee will come to the rescue with a true Mouse Gun and before you know it, you too will be at the range practicing for your Carry Concealed Handgun In The Waist Band or Belt License..., after burying the crazed mouse. You just wait and see.
