This is a handy little miniature 1911 in .380 ACP. Research indicates that this pistol was originally produced by Firearms International, which was later purchased by Iver Johnson. Several “Pony” guns were created at the time, including Colt and Iver Johnson, all were .380. This gun is easily concealed and will make a great home defense gun at a fraction of the CVolt price. The grip is small and will easily accommodate a woman or teen. This should prove to be a great companion.
