This is a story of self-control and marksmanship by a brave, cool-headed woman with a small pistol against a fierce predator. What is the smallest caliber that you would trust to protect yourself? A Beretta Jetfire testimonial. Here is her story: While out walking along the edge of a bayou just below Houma, Louisiana with my soon to be ex-husband discussing property settlement and other divorce issues, we were surprised by a huge 12-ft. alligator suddenly emerging from the murky water and charging us with its large jaws wide open. She must have been protecting her nest because she was extremely aggressive. If I had not had my little Beretta Jetfire .25 caliber pistol with me, I would not be here today! Just one shot to my estranged husband's knee cap was all it took. The gator got him easily and I was able to escape by just walking away at a brisk pace. It's one of the best pistols in my collection! Plus ... the amount I saved in lawyer's fees was more than worth the purchase price of the gun. LOL! But to answer your question. the .25 did the job, but though a larger diameter bullet than a .22 long rifle- the .22 actually does more damage due to deeper tissue penetration. |

Single shot to the head. |

They still have a purchase limit, but at least they have some. I need to bring my glasses though. Grabbed a box of what I thought were .357 cal but fortunately the shop owner is familiar with what I buy. The box was actually .327 cal .... something I've never heard of. While I was there I happened to notice an unusual handgun in the used case and asked to see it. Turns out it was a first series, 1921 Colt "Woodsman" .22 cal semi-automatic. Actually, it's referred to as the "pre-Woodsman" because Colt didn't put the name "Woodsman" on them until after 1926. One thing led to another and it's now part of my collection. http://tinyurl.com/kx8u87v Looks a lot like my Ruger .22 pistol. They are a lot of fun to shoot and quite accurate. I have an old "Targetsman", basically a Woodsman with target sights but not the heavy barrel in the "Target Model Woodsman". It looks very similar to that. I am not sure how many rounds I have shot through it but that was one or he other of the 2 that I shot almost every day in Maryland. (the other being handloads in my .38) I have read that Colt quality has suffered and that's a shame if it's true. When I was looking for a .45 1911 I skipped the Colt as much as I would have liked the "original" 1911. I do have a Colt AR15 that is about about 20 years old. My dad had a Woodsman in the middle 1950's. most I inaccurate weapon he ever bought. Traded it for a Bengemen air pistol, had about a 5' diameter area it would try to hit at 25 yards. Bench rest shooting. |

One thing led to another and it's now part of my collection. http://tinyurl.com/kx8u87v I like it. Looks like it'll be fun to shoot also. I'd never heard of .327 caliber either. A friend was telling me today of shooting his Winchester .44-40 rifle. That's another I'd never heard of. While down at Solomons last week I let one of the grandsons practice field stripping the Marlin Mod 59 .22 semi-auto rifle. He was totally thrilled. I couldn't let him take it home because they didn't have a way to lock it up. The gun case I ordered came today,so I'll give it to the dad this weekend. Dad and son are thrilled. John (Gun Nut) H. -- Hope you're having a great day! My aunt used to have a 5 shot Smith in 32. Kind of obsolete and rare. I wonder if this a re-intro of the same cartridge? The 1866 Winchester, The Yellow Boy, was .44-40. Several guns were chambered for it, including some pistols. Was .44 bore with 40 grains of black power powering the round. There were .44 caliber cap and ball pistols and they only required the cylinders to be modified to fire the Winchester cartridge. |

I'll be going over to the range on Monday to see. |

You made a big deal a while back about the ammo shortage being caused by some kind of government conspiracy , i.e. the Department of Homeland Security buying up everything manufacturers could make. It simply wasn't true, as attested to by virtually every ammo manufacturer. So, did they order 1.6 billion rounds.. if so my comment is correct. Did it help make for a shortage, if so my other comment is correct. Reading your posts, it seems this is the case. But do go on... ------------------------------------- Scott, your idea of being correct is the same as a broken clock. It still reads accurately twice a day but is otherwise worthless. |
