25acp is THE mouse cartridge, but i'd enjoy a reliable larger 25acp gun as well. I believe the largest in my collection is the phoenix arms HP 25 or possibly the taurus PT-25
This seems like a contender for largest: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JO.LO.AR.
and HK 4 seems worth mentioning, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heckler_%26_Koch_HK4
Im beating the moles, but the dandelions are beating me.
Seecamp .32 & HK PSP that Robar refinished in NP3+ and added night sights. Apparently I had a thing for heel releases.
Had this pair over a decade ago - was my go-to carry in Kramer horsehide holsters when I needed to be dressier. I deeply regret letting them go, but life is going to life sometimes and at least they went to friends. Someday I'll have this setup again! Though I guess I'll have to go with Ford's or Wright Armory for refinishing, RIP Robar.
Not a big fan of derringers, but smaller ones of this style or the south american garrucha style derringers are neat to me. I've heard butler derringers often fail to fire. I'll find that out next time I go to the range - but obviously I got it just for collection purposes.
My Ruger EC9s. Not a true mouse gun, but small enough for deep concealment. I’ll call it my “Gerbil Gun.”
It’s seen better days… but it’s still working well, just like on day one
Some history about it :
Built by ex former factory employees of HAFDASA, the “Pistola H.A 22 LR (Better known as Pistola Zonda), patented by BALLESTER MOLINA (The famous creator of the Ballester Molina 45 acp or better known here as 11.25mm .
Its so small it fits into my wallet, I love it!
Some photos with its big (little) brother 43X
Beretta 950 BS minx in .22 short and a CZ Duo in .25 ACP.
Wasn't planning on winning this on gunbroker but here we are.
I know there's .25 aficionados around here so just a shared experience with one gun and a range trip.
The two rounds on the right are PMC, unfired, both struck twice. The one on the right is Winchester brand .
The gun is a FIE Titan, which happily chewed through 70 rounds of Winchester without issue. The PMC not so much.
The first seven round mag only two rounds went off, none of the unfired ones did on the second try. The second mag, NOT ONE round fired, two did on the second attempt. At this point I cut my losses and put the gun away for the day. I have had some hard primers in their 38 special rounds as well, chalking them up to a loose strain screw on my revolver. This has got me scratching my head, and I'm considering passing on this brand from now on. YMMV
“The term ‘mouse gun’ has been around a long time; I remember hearing it as a child in the 1960s and I’m certain it wasn’t new then. These are a species of tiny pistols for ultimate concealment. Traditionally these are chambered for .25 ACP or .22 Long rifle or even .22 Short. Since the latter part of the 20th century there have been some available in .32 ACP and even .380 ACP, but the overwhelming majority of .32s and .380s do not fall into this category.
To me (and many other dinosaurs) a mouse gun is a tiny pistol chambered in .25 ACP or .22 LR. As previously stated later examples might be in .32 ACP or even .380, but these are a bit of an aberration. For a .32 or .380 to qualify as a mouse gun, to my way of thinking, it has to be as small as the aforementioned .22s and .25s, and there aren’t many that qualify.” — (tinkertalksguns.com)
While Tinker doesn’t consider the KelTec P-32 and OG Ruger LCP and LCP II to be “mouse guns”, we mods believe they are. Only barely. They are the absolute max-sized mouse guns. They are HUGE in comparison to a Baby Browning or CZ Duo.

This is ‘bout our only rule, and ‘bout the only one we do not have leeway on; outside of try to keep it mouse-gun oriented (exceptions made for new gun days), and keep it civil/polite. This is not us, this is Reddit.
