I'm considering purchasing an Ortgies pistol, but I have a question regarding the size of the gun. I know they came in .25 .32 and .380 caliber, and I know the .25 model is smaller than the .32 model, but is the .32 model any smaller than the .380?

Fewer people are killed with all rifles each year (323 in 2011) than with shotguns (356), hammers and clubs (496), and hands and feet (728).Comment

My ex always told me it's about the motion of the ocean :-)
I'm well aware .380 is more powerful than .32
I was asking if the .380 Ortgies pistol itself was any larger than the .32 Ortgies, because I know they are both larger than the .25 Ortgies pistol.
We're not talking about cartridge sizes, rather the size of the gun itself.Comment

I am far from an expert on Ortgies pistols, but if my memory is correct the same model came in .25acp and .32. It sort of resembles a Browning M-1910. I don't recall them making a .380.
Sorry I couldn't be more help.Comment

Yeah, we're a bunch of pervs, but at least in a fun way. I ask because I'm looking to buy an Ortgies (see ad in WTB forum), and had never held the 380, so I was curious if it felt the same in your hand as the 32.
I'll have to keep an eye on the gunshows. I found one in 25, but it's too small for my tastes. I want a bigger gun ;-)Last edited by cwr56; 08-20-2011, 7:10 PM.Comment
