FROM WIKIPEDIA

The 1931 Fabrique Nationale (FN) Baby Browning is a small blowback-operated, semi-automatic pistol designed by Belgium-born Dieudonné Saive and based on John Browning's 1908 Vest Pocket pistol. Chambered with the .25 Automatic Colt Pistol (ACP) cartridge (6.35×15mm), the pistol accepts a six-round magazine and features a manual safety. It uses a striker-fired, single action, blowback mechanism.
