Features
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).[2]
Factory options included "white pearl" (plastic) or wood grips, and a variety of holsters. An engraved version was manufactured for the Bicentennial in 1976.[3]
Many parts interchange with the FN Baby Browning, including grips, magazines, and various internal parts.[2]
