John Moses Browning had to start somewhere. Here's my Browning Model 1900, a refinement of his first functional commercial pistol the Model 1899.
This one is chambered in .32 ACP; and is a mild shooting pistol:

Another of J. M. Browning's designs; this is a Schmeisser Model 1 (made by Haenel and Sons). It is a copy of the Baby Browning/Colt 1908/and other clones all chambered in .25 ACP.
A long (and embarrassing as well) story about this gun - I know it works. I know what it is like to shoot someone; I also know what it is like to be shot. A good thing this is a .25 auto; had it been anything bigger it would have taken my left index finger off between the first and second joint. I was prepping this gun to go to a gun show, wanted to take the magazine out. Instead of reading the owner's manual (that came with the gun) I cycled the slide and pulled the trigger. It actually didn't hurt (pain wise) but the embarrassment was bad. At the ER I didn't tell my wife not to talk to the police if I wasn't there - and sure enough off to X-Ray. When I got back the cop looked and me - laughed and said "dumb ass'! I was a Customs Officer in the town and knew most of the local PD. He said "All I did was asked your wife if I was trying to hurt myself; and she replied: No he was just being a dumb ass!"  Oh yeah - according to the owner's manual - to remove the magazine - put the safety on!

RKP it really didn't hurt much. I had six pins in my index finger for 8 weeks. A painful reminder for some stupidity.

Those Scorpion pistols shoot very well. The fastest I’ve ever downed a whole plate rack was with one of these sporting an eotech red dot and sig brace.

Something a bit different - Colt Police Positive Special, .38 Special. I got this and a few other guns in a trade on Coltforums.com. This one was shipped to the Cleveland (Ohio) Police Department in 1929:
