It protrudes through a pin hole in the rear of the frame when the pistol is loaded.įN manufactured and marketed the Baby Browning pistol from 1931 until 1979, though exports to the US only took place between 1953-1968. A cocking indicator mechanism was also incorporated and is attached to the firing pin spring opposite the firing pin. The Dieudonne Saive design also introduced an auto-safety mechanism similar to the one utilized on the Colt Vest Pocket pistol of similar vintage which prevented the pistol from being firing (even if a cartridge was chambered) if the magazine was removed from the frame of the pistol. The frame has a full-length dust guard extending to the end of the slide and an area behind the trigger is relieved to allow a user to maintain a more substantial grip on the pistol then was the case with the 1905 version. This feature enabled a user to manipulate the safety lever mechanism without having to release one's grip on the pistol. For example, the palm-of-hand activated rear-of-frame safety mechanism was eliminated and the small safety lever on the left side of the frame was extended under the grip plate toward the trigger so that the thumb of a right-handed shooter could easily engage and disengage it through flicking the safety lever knob using pressure applied to the side of the safety lever knob. His design was smaller, lighter, and incorporated several refinements and improvements to the 1905 Vest Pocket version.
