FN 1905

Product Information & Specs

Seller Description For This Firearm

The FN Model 1905 .25 Auto is a compact, semi-automatic pocket pistol designed by legendary firearms inventor John Moses Browning and manufactured by FN Herstal⁠ in Belgium during the early 20th century.

Chambered in .25 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol), the FN 1905 was intended for discreet personal protection and quickly became popular throughout Europe and North America. The pistol features a simple blowback action, single-action trigger, and an internal striker-fired design. Most examples hold 6 rounds in a detachable magazine, with a slim profile that made it easy to carry in a pocket or vest.

Notable characteristics include:

* Caliber: .25 ACP
* Capacity: 6+1 rounds
* Barrel Length: Approximately 2 inches
* Overall Length: Approximately 4.5 inches
* Weight: Around 13 ounces unloaded
* Operation: Blowback, striker-fired
* Safety: Manual thumb safety and grip safety on many variants

Collectors appreciate the FN 1905 for its connection to Browning’s innovative designs and its role in the evolution of modern concealed-carry handguns. Many surviving examples feature finely machined steel construction, hard rubber grip panels with FN logos, and attractive Belgian craftsmanship that reflects the quality of firearms produced during that era.

Today, an FN 1905 in good condition is valued more as a collectible historical firearm than as a practical defensive handgun, though it remains an important milestone in the development of small semi-automatic pistols.

WARNING

Why Buy from Guns.com?

PEACE OF MIND

Shopping at Guns.com gives you the backing of a company that is committed to your satisfaction. And unlike our competitors, it extends beyond the buying process. We get the FFL from your store – others make you find it, copy it, and fax it. We have a generous return policy, and handle everything – you don’t have to go back to the store. And our Rangemasters are here to answer all your questions about our products or process. We're bringing a level of service to the online gun buying experience that is unheard of.

WE SUPPORT LOCAL GUN STORES

Many online gun sales actually take away from your local community. Instead of buying a gun that’s on your local store’s shelf, most retailers drop ship it from a warehouse in another state. At Guns.com, if an FFL is part of our network, we sell THEIR guns first whenever possible. That way, we’re helping small businesses in your community AND if they have it in stock, you can pick your gun up IMMEDIATELY – it’s how business should be done.

WE KEEP IT SIMPLE

Most everything can be easily bought online these days. But for some reason, buying a gun online can be complicated. Most websites are poorly organized, don’t tell you a lot about what you’re buying, and leave you on your own to figure out what you want. Guns.com is built to be simple – easily organized products, useful descriptions from experts, and support to guide you to the right choice. Spend your time enjoying the gun you want, not getting frustrated with a complex website that makes gun buying hard.
