That would look bada$$ with a threaded barrel & suppressor.Behold the Harrington & Richardson .25ACP Self-Loader, made between 1919 and 1921. Note that while it has a loaded chamber indicator, it is devoid of even the most vestigial sights.
My roommate maintains that the purpose of a firearm like this is to allow for an intended victim to yell from the other side of a door "Don't come in! I've got a gun!" and not be lying.

With a deuce-five, no less!Because point shooting.
Incidentally, the dates in my initial post are incorrect: The years of production were between 1912 and 1914.
Back then a GSW from a .25 auto to an area of your body that didn't leave you DRT was a bit more serious than it is now.

Took me until the weekend to get into the safe; I guess they came in "derp" and "standard". Not that "standard" is a whole hell of a lot better in terms of function, to be blunt, but there it is:
Do you have a closeup of the front sight? It is my understanding that none of them came from the factory that way. It would be super interesting if that were the Roaring Twenties equivalent of a set of Trijicon HDs... o.O
(I know that the irons on my Colt 1902, while miniscule by modern standards, are pretty high-speed aftermarket additions, given their time period.)
^^^Whoa. You are yet again blowing my mind here, Tam. I'm brew pubbing it for dinner at the moment, but I'll be back with a close up soon. Don't touch that dial...
OK, pics; post pasta n porter:
^^^You got me thinking: that rear notch/blade looks like it was done by a cross between australopithecus and Richard Heinie...
Plus, a bonus, just because I totally dig your taste in old gats:
