Shooting up a stash of .25acp ammo without the shame of owning a Lorcin.

14" barrel?? That's a squib waiting to happen.

And 3X scope!!!

 

[Mark W.]

25acp has about the same energy and fps as a .22Long I have no trouble getting a .22Long out of a 28" barrel. Or killing a jack rabbit with one. Some special factory loadings do 1100fps out of a pistol barrel.

Might duplicate the 25 Stevens for a good small game cartridge.

Compressed load of Bullseye probably pretty good for bobcats and coyotes.

Could show up at a mouse gun match and clean house.
Shame the bore is not .257. So...25/.32 ACP? .25/.380?

That must be a rare chambering for a T/C Contender.

I can do that, too. This one's an all steel Armi.

So this barrel is aftermarket, not T/C. Yet expensive to buy new, I'm sure.

yes Bullberry made some another co. made some. about $450. i think custom order only.

 

[orygun]

I wonder, would this chambering in a Contender be basically a "parlor gun"?

 

[357 MAX]

maybe????? maybe experimental? in the contender if you want it. for whatever reason, someone will make it for you. custom barrel makers like EAB, Bullberry and others.

It's a misprint in the "Item Specifics", it's actually a .35 RBM.

When I was poking around, I did find some people talking about rechambering a .22 to a .25 ACP, like taking a Chipmunk, or 10-22, rechambering it, and converting it into a centerfire. Sounds like a lot of work for a novelty rifle.

Armi Galesi was a well made little pocket gun. Once banned, Sterling Arms copied the design, still in all steel.
