The FN Baby Browning is a compact blowback-operated semi-automatic pistol chambered in .25 ACP. Designed by John Browning, it is a smaller version of the earlier FN Model 1905 Vest Pocket pistol. Its diminutive size made it popular for concealed carry and as a backup weapon. The Baby Browning features a simple blowback action with no safety catch, relying on a half-cock notch for carrying safety. It was manufactured continuously by Fabrique Nationale from the 1930s through the 1970s.
