About the Gun

The CA and FS pocket pistols use essentially the same basic design, but with different barrel lengths and different grip lengths. The larger FS series have generally more rounded surfaces. All are made virtually entirely of steel. Available in several finishes at an additional cost; black powder coat, chrome, satin nickel, black chrome, royal blue, ruby red, majestic pink, imperial purple and King Cobra copper.

About the Cartridge

Designed by John Browning and introduced by Fabrique Nationale of Belgium, this cartridge has achieved world-wide acceptance and has even been adopted as the standard pistol cartridge by several governments. One reason for the round's success is that it is the largest practical cartridge that can be easily adapted to small automatic pocket pistols. Ballistics fall far short of even the 9mm Luger, but still prove adequate for most self-defense situations. The round has established quite a niche position in this role, often being chosen over more traditional small calibers such as the .25 and .32 Autos.
