Oktagon,
The Colt .25 made in Spain around the late 60's is really an Astra Cub in .25 instead of .22. It has an exposed hammer and a trigger blocking safety. But the original 1908 Colt VP is striker fired and has a safety at the left rear of the frame that locks the sear.
There are also apples and oranges in the Browning guns. The early one was almost identical to the early Colt. It was often called the Baby Browning, but that name was also given to the totally different post war pistol. So when discussing these little guns, a lot of confusion can result.
