 Hey there friends, thanks for checking in at riders range and we've got something here that has never been shown on the channel yet And check that out That's probably the smallest semi-auto handgun that you are ever going to see Times two these don't belong to me. They belong to rider from riders range We're gonna get him on here see what inspired him to get these have him take a few shots and talk a little bit about What's going on at riders range and these two Bauer 25 ACP handguns? As I mentioned, we're at riders range and this is rider from riders range He has a YouTube channel as well. What do you got going on there? Yeah, we just posted number six in our 22 part the great affordable 1911 series and We're wrapping up the 9 millimeter component of that and going into the commander size here in a couple of weeks Very nice very nice, but I already mentioned that these are your Bauer 25s. He's got two of them What is the purpose of a little gun like this? When we say it holds six rounds does have the heel mag release of course you pull it out But it is really a tiny little gun You've got two of them Why in the world do you have two of these Bauer 25s? I carried one of my pocket once about a time Oh way back in the the 70s as a hideout gun and got rid of it a long time ago happened to see one of these come up on auction and Bit on it wanted for a very good price picked it up locally and then wasn't a week later I saw another one come up also at a local auction and had a serial number that was closer to the one I originally had so I had to bid on it and it turns out it's in nicer shape and I wanted so I've got two Hours you got two bowers and 25 ACP now in many cases the ammunition is more expensive than the gun probably yeah Because I have a Raven 25, you know a Phoenix Raven and all those those were actually very inexpensive like Anywhere from 40 to 50 bucks you can buy them at a hardware store. How about these bowers? You're looking at it at about a $300 gun $300. Yeah, but again, they haven't made these they stop making them in Fraser, Michigan Back in the early 80s, so they're relatively hard to find and I guess it's kind of a niche market Okay, and then obviously deep concealment. What are some of your ideas for that? If you're a narcotics officer, you tuck it down your teddy whiteies If you're a female narcotic officer going in it. Well, you can imagine where that would hide. Yeah It's a good hideout gun just about anywhere, right? Okay, well, let's load them up and take a few shots see if we can hit anything with these I'm probably not going to try the 50-yard challenge with it. We won't go 50. All right deal. No 50. Let's load them up We're gonna have a little competition here. I'm gonna go first I'm a guest at Ryder's range, but a couple things about this bower that the barrel length is Between an inch and a half inch and three quarters It is a single action has these plastic ivory looking grips six rounds in the magazine He'll release and it has a thumb safety right there and then little serrations that a Rather irrelevant you have to be careful when holding the gun because it would be easy for your thumb to go Close to the barrel. Also, you have to drop the grip a little bit because the slide may come back and bite you So here we are If any of these fail, I'm done and Then Ryder comes up the sights are like nothing like you'd almost be better off not the half sights These are so tiny here. We go. Let's see how I do. I think they all hit Ryder All right now six shots the one you said you didn't see I heard the ping All right, so I'm not taking a mole again on that one here. We go Ryder Ryder is a one heck of a good shooter here Well, we'll see how this little mouse gun works. He has these bowers Something I've never had on the channel before Made in Fraser, Michigan. I bet pattern after the baby browning is what I understand. Okay. Let's see if I can make this thing work without hurting myself You do the silhouette silhouette. I'm gonna do the 10-inch. All right Oh, I got a chance of winning this thing Firing pan hit. We're calling it a draw Even though you thanks for me. It's your range, but I am the guest here and we're calling it a draw guest rules That's fine. Good job. Good shooting. It's been a pleasure. Yeah Bower 25 ACP at Ryder's range with Ryder himself And we're having a great time shooting a whole bunch of guns and we just had to get this bower 25 if you like videos like this, please subscribe and share I always appreciate thumbs up button Thanks for watching and you guys be safe
