1979 Beretta 950 Jetfire .25

I picked this well used tip-barrel Jetfire Model 950 .25 up the other day for $125.00....It came with two mags and a very nice quality South African Ross IWB holster.

The reason that it was so cheap (they run 325.00+) was that the safety did not work.....I didn't mess with it till yesterday and found/corrected the problem in a few minutes. They have a very good rep for reliability and this one is no exception.

I use Hornady 35 gr XTP HPs exclusively in my .25s....11" of penetration in gel through three layers of jean material and they expand to about .32 cal.......If a .25 won't work with those I don't keep it.

Nice little "gut gun" for it's era. It also takes the same 8-round mag as my Beretta Model 20.

You must own a considerable arsenal.

Looks like the .32 ca I used to own. The safety on them is a bit less than desired. Be careful.

Hell they made a 950 with NO safety....I never have figured that one out as you are supposed to carry it cocked-n-locked like a M1911.

Definitely more than $325 these days, way more. I know yours is well used but last month a NRA Very Good nickle plated one went for $1200 on GB. Yeah, GB tends to run high but still.
