Mice to the rescue

I just received my new Baby Browning holster from Lisa Hedley and it is a gorgeous piece of leather work. I had to wait for about seven weeks for them to make it for me, but it was worth it. I will be buying some more holsters from Hedley.
The Beretta holster is not bad, but it is not the same kind of quality piece that the BB holster is. I haven't tried to see how well that one works when actually firing the pistol, holstered, but I will get around to it.
Here are my pair of mouse guns that I bought just because. Baby Browning (.25 ACP) and Beretta Minx (.22 short) Both of these pistols are fun to shoot. They are not something I would like to have to carry off to war, but not everything in life has to be practical.

It's good to have a custom holster maker you can trust, she does nice work.

It's not the size of the bullet, but where you put that counts. Not trying to be rude or disrespectful but Former President Reagan was almost done in with a 22.
That said holster work looks awesome. She's getting some good advertisement that is for sure and her work is worthy of it. The guns are cool, and an interesting aspect of weapon history and evolution.

I have said this hundreds of times, itty bitty pistols have killed many when used right. In the old days these were a serious killer due to the blood infection the bullet that didn't exit the body caused. Then there is the contact shot for whoever has the balls to take it. Shove the barrel hard against the victim and pull the trigger, bullet and all the gas behind it enters the body causing havoc. Messy, and dangerous, but effective.

My brother used to help his FIL when it was time to slaughter the cows, the old man used a single shot .22 with shorts. Point blank to the back of the head and they dropped like a rock.

I used to have one of the Beretta bobcat .22s, and now have one of the NAA Minis. Somebody told me to think of it not as a pistol, but as an ice pick with a 10 foot handle.

Good one, I'll have to remember that analogy.
