"Woman stops gator attack with a small Beretta pistol."



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.

---------------------------------

I stopped over to my favorite gun shop this morning and noticed that
for the first time in many months, the ammo shelves were much better
stocked.
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.

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.

.327 is pretty new, pretty much a caliber, looking for a need but they
do make them.

44-40 is an old timer, originally black powder in the old lever action
rifles and the matching revolver for a cowboy who wanted to only need
one kind of ammo. .


Yup, the bullet is much like a .45, and his Winchester is lever action. Pretty old rifle.

You are gullible. Ammo is like oil. Create a false shortage and reap
the great benefits of money based on short supply.

It is somewhat like the gasoline crisis of the 70s and 80s. If people
perceive that gas is in short supply the first thing they do is run
out and fill up their tank. That behavior alone creates a real
shortage because of its sudden impact on the supply chain.

----------------------------------

The government purchases have had some effect but the major cause of
the ammo shortage was private citizen purchases and hoarding in
response to economic and political uncertainties. A concern that
stringent new gun laws would be successfully lobbied for and enacted
by the current administration and/or Congress drove both ammunition
and new gun sales through the roof in the past year. The DHS doesn't
buy supplies for reloading and muzzle loaders yet there is a serious
shortage of those also.

Ammo manufacturers can only increase capacity by so much because their
suppliers can't increase the needed materials by much.
One supplier says he doesn’t have a shortage of ammunition, but a
serious surplus of customers.

Point is, despite rumors to the contrary, there is no evidence of a
government conspiracy to buy up all the available ammunition.

Best part of the looming end of the ammo shortage is the large number of
speculators who got burned buying up boatloads of rounds to resell on
the gun auction sites. Now they are sitting on that ammo and unable to
sell it at the super high prices of yesterday, such as $29.95 for a box
of 50 rounds of name brand 9 mm ball ammo.

It hasn't trickled down to the online sites yet. I just looked at

I've seen some .22LR and some .45ACP around, but the prices are still

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.

"Woman stops gator attack with a small Beretta pistol."







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.

damage due to deeper tissue penetration.

----------------------------

Seems like many of the "Swamp People" (people who hunt alligators on
the History Channel) use a .22 rifle to kill the 'gater.
Single shot to the head.

---------------------------------

I stopped over to my favorite gun shop this morning and noticed that
for the first time in many months, the ammo shelves were much better
stocked.
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.

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.

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.

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.

Yeah, I am curious to see how accurate this 1921 Woodsman is .... or
isn't. You would think that with a 6-5/8" barrel it would be
accurate.
I'll be going over to the range on Monday to see.
