This video delves into the history of the P.A.F. Junior, often considered South Africa's first commercially produced firearm. Manufactured by the Pretoria Arms Factory, founded by Dutch immigrants Piet Nagel and Jan Willem Dekker, it was a simplified copy of the Baby Browning pocket pistol chambered in .25 ACP. The video highlights a significant design flaw in the initial production run that could cause catastrophic failure. It also touches on the subsequent attempt to restart production under the BRF brand after P.A.F.'s bankruptcy. The P.A.F. guns are described as relatively accessible today, though their white plastic grips often suffer from shrinkage and cracking.
