			The FN Baby Browning is a compact Belgian semi-automatic pocket pistol chambered in [[.25 ACP]] (6.35×15mm). Designed by Dieudonné Saive and introduced in the early 1930s, it uses a simple blowback action with a 6-round magazine. It is best known for its extremely small size and for discreet carry in both civilian and specialist military contexts.
			==HISTORY==
			Fabrique Nationale’s earlier Vest Pocket pistols (marketed under several names in the 1905/1906 family) proved popular but faced heavy competition from unlicensed copies. In response, FN’s Dieudonné Saive redesigned the concept in 1926–1927 to produce a smaller, lighter successor with practical refinements, and full production began in 1931 as the Baby Browning. Over its long production life, the pistol remained a straightforward, striker-fired, blowback design optimized for concealment and close-range defensive use rather than sustained combat.

	~~The 1931 FN~~ Baby Browning~~, designed by Dieudonné Saive,~~ is ~~a compact semi-automatic pistol chambered in .25 ACP. It has a six~~-~~round magazine~~, ~~striker~~-~~fired single action, and a manual thumb safety locking the slide when engaged~~.		During the [[Vietnam War]], the Baby Browning is most closely associated with deep-concealment, last-resort carry rather than general issue. Accounts of MACV-SOG equipment describe “baby” .25 pistols being carried for off-base concealment, including wallet-style holsters intended to disguise the weapon’s outline. In this niche role, the Baby Browning’s value was its extreme compactness and simplicity, even though its small cartridge limited effective range and terminal performance compared to standard service sidearms.
	~~=HISTORY=~~
	~~FN produced under license the Model 1905 pocket pistol, later renamed the FN 1906, designed by John Browning. It utilized the~~ .25 ~~ACP cartridge~~, ~~one of~~ the ~~earliest automatic pistol cartridges. The design featured a grip safety, a safety lever, and a slide-locking mechanism for easy disassembly~~.

	~~Facing competition from unlicensed copies~~, ~~FN developed a successor in 1926–1927, designed by Dieudonné Saive. This updated version, known as~~ the Baby ~~Browning,~~ was ~~smaller~~ and ~~lighter, with improvements such as an extended safety lever for easier manipulation, a full-length dust guard~~, and ~~an auto-safety mechanism. The pistol became widely recognized worldwide~~.

	~~During~~ the ~~Vietnam War it was issued to MACVSOG teams with a wallet~~-~~like concealment holster as a last resort gun.~~		===Sources===
