You're right, I guess my memory's clutch slipped on that one. I had one for a while and for some odd reason remembered it being closer to the Llama than it actually was. I don't know about the Star PD, but it does seem to be in the same family tree as the Star DK, DKL, and DKI. According to Star http://star-firearms.com/firearms/guns/d/index.shtml Colt used a good number of the Star pieces and parts for their Colt Pony's... which I mistakenly assumed was a mini 1911 as well.I agree with others. That looks more like a Star or Astra than a Llama.
Many years ago (like 50 or so) I had a tiny little Colt 25 auto that looked a lot like a little 1911. I don't remember a lot of the little details, but I do remember it had a stiff trigger. I can't find a little 25 auto anywhere that looks like it did.
It just about had to have been a Colt Jr. I remember the exposed hammer and the vague look of a small 1911. It was a LONG time ago.Best I know colt has only made two 25s; the 1908 Vest Pocket and the Junior. The 1908 was a JM Browning design and the Junior was actually an Astra design and I think they were made by Astra and rebadged by Colt. Neither looked nor mimicked in any way a 1911.

Probably. Especially with the reference to the price being 3x. I think the Browning 1911.22 has an MSRP around $600.Bill DeShivs said:Perhaps they are talking about the 1911-22?
What do you call this? It is 80 percent the size of a full-size 1911. The same size as the Baby Rock, so for all intents and purposes it is a Baby Browning.This is a Baby Browning. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FN_Baby_Browning There was never a 22. There is no plastic. Except for Bill you guys are talking about another gun.

OK, so we have the Baby Rock, the Llama MicroMax and the Browning 1911-380 and they are all the same flipping thing other than manufacturer and a minor detail or two. Oh, I love the pedantic among us.I call it what Browning calls it: 1911-22
They also offer the same pistol in .380 ACP, and it is cleverly named the 1911-380. Neither is named "Baby Browning." If you choose to call it that, you should understand that there is a firearm that is named the Baby Browning and that has been known by that name for several decades, so applying the "Baby Browning" moniker to a completely different firearm is likely to generate confusion and miscommunication.
