For those of you who despise the 25 acp round, this is not the review for you. Please refrain from responding to this post with negative comments about the round.
This review is on my new Precision Small Arms, PSA -25 Baby Browning pistol.
As some of you may already know, PSA has been the licensed manufacturer of the Baby Browning pistol since 1983. The company was previously called PSP (Precision Small Parts). Guns made under both the PSP or PSA name are equal in fit and finish to the original FN made Baby Brownings. I can verify this as I have both an FN Browning and a PSA. I believe that they also sell these in Europe under the FN name.
I bought this pistol through PSA's company president, Lenn Kristal. Lenn actually does ALL of the final assembly and hand fitment for each and every gun made. Every single gun that leaves their company has been thoroughly gone over by Lenn. This is quality control at its best as Lenn has a tremendous passion for each gun that they build.
The model I purchased was the brushed stainless steel model. It is machined from a solid bar of 303 steel. Most of the PSA guns have PSA marked grips, however mine came with Browning grips. Nice! The machining is flawless and the fit and finish is perfect. It is truly an outstanding little gun.
At the range, the gun performed extremely well and was as accurate as my little FN Baby. Perhaps more so.
I am a pain in the a$$ as a consumer as I am always looking for absolute perfection. This gun satisfied this quirk of mine extremely well.
I had a million and one questions for Lenn, and he responded to each and every one of them very quickly in email, despite the fact that he was in Europe for a German gun show. His knowledge of his product is amazing and he always seemed to understand each and everyone of my annoying questions, and had well thought out answers for all of them.
Their guns aren't cheap. They are however extraordinarily well made and I had no qualms shelling out the cash for this gun. In fact, I love it so much, I will be buying a second one this week. This time I am going for their Beauxart's Stainless model. It has a high polished finish with nickel silver grips containing abalone inlays. I think it is drop dead gorgeous.
They also have 2 color case hardened models coming out in June. The case hardening is being done by Shiloh Sharps and they are offering one in a sodium cyanide finish, and one is being done in Ash and Bone. I have a feeling one of these will end up in my safe before too long as well. That's if they don't sell out immediately. I think they are only doing 250 of each per year.
This is a very small company and they produce very small runs of their models. They clearly have an absolute love of their product as this is the only gun they make, though they make many different versions of it. If you are interested in learning more, go to their website:

I have attached some pics. I'd be happy to answer any questions that I may not have covered in this email.
If you like little 25's and long for perfection, this is a company that you will definitely enjoy doing business with.
thanks for reading.
