Description:
Guns Listing ID: 496506
Small guns like the Colt Junior have been pushing the limits on size for decades, and they did it well before fancy new polymers changed the game. Most shooters would consider this little .22 Short pistol to be more of a novelty, but it certainly found its way into a few pockets over the years.
More than that, this gun has some interesting little tricks that helped it stay small and slim. First, you’ll notice the absence of the slide stop on the left side of the otherwise pretty classic Colt profile. Instead, the gun features a safety/slide lock to assist in the disassembly process. The safety levers forward to lock the slide and make the removal of the barrel easier.
Speaking of the barrel, it also serves as the takedown for the slide itself. You’ll notice the small groves on the tip of the barrel above. You can lock the slide back and rotate the barrel at the tip to release the lugs and remove the slide. That partially explains the care taken to add the fluting on the tip of the barrel. The maximum use of space is just another great example of how brilliant pistol engineers have been making tiny guns well before the polymer lines were even conceived.
This little shooter is also an interesting storyteller about America’s shifting gun laws. The gun was originally made under a Colt license in Spain by Astra to cut down on the price.
Colt had some of the later models, like this one, assembled in Florida to get around the 1968 Gun Control Act that effectively ended the importation of the Spanish-made Juniors.
The gun is a simple blow-back design with a single-stack magazine. Because it does not have a slide stop, it won’t hold open after the last round. That trait is forgivable if we remember that this is a mouse-sized, vest-pocket gun. Overall, it’s a small package filled with a lot of fun history.
