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 love a woman that can think on her feet and under pressure!

I prefer a woman who can think on her back and under pressure.  (And who squeals.)

I've been a Dirty Old Man ever since the first day I put on a pair of "Big Boys".

And to think, Liberals want to take away this woman's right to self defense.

Kinda like an apprentice, maybe.

Journeyman takes work. Endorsements. Time-in-grade. And the masters are too busy to post much of anything, anywhere. I wonder why that is?....

I think it would be instructive here to learn just exactly how you know that.
