Overview

The Colt Model 1908 Vest Pocket is a compact blowback semi-automatic pistol designed by John Moses Browning. It was chambered in .25 ACP and designed for discreet personal defense.

The Model 1908 was the smallest Colt automatic pistol of its time. It remained in production for over three decades and sold widely in the American civilian market.
