    I am an funeral assistant in Brazil, and a worked a lot in Shot Victims Morgues. These "weak" calibers almost every time perforated at least two vital organs of the victims. This weapons are very dangerous.. In São Paulo i saw in past a Police Man that died when a .22lr revolver shoted in short distnce and crossed an expired bulletproof vest.

    @Slaphitter 3 года назад +220

    Understanding the mission of a pocket gun, any caliber is really fine. It’s for breaking contact with the enemy, not for taking him into custody. Beretta Bobcat is my choice. Reliable with good ammo, very easy to shoot, safe in the pocket, rugged and small.

    • @BrassBashers
      @BrassBashers 3 года назад +7

      People talk caliber, I just got sick of paying double for .380 ammo than 9mm lol, even before the past election .380 was higher than .45. For pocket carry (what I do the most now) I switched to the Diamondback DB9, never looked back. It's uncomfortable and kicks like a .38 snubby, but it's reliable and I can hit man sized targets out to 50 yards with it consistently.

      As a retired LEO, my philosophy was if I could use it if disarmed, it could come into play. Or if I could break contact, and back myself into a close range ambush position and wait for the bad guy to blunder into my sights.

    Another good vid Sootch. I really hate the term, "mouse gun". I am pretty sure that no one shot by a mouse gun, would ever call it that. I have a big variety of carry guns, but a new 380 has moved into first place for me. As I have heard Hickok45 say, " a gun is a gun", no matter the caliber. I agree.

    My first BUG when I started my LE career was a Beretta 21A in .22LR. Years went by and I sold it to another fellow who refused to listen to my safety briefing. He was a vet, knew "all about these" etc., etc. He was not listening when I warned him about the lack of extractor or ejector. He "cleared" it one night by dropping the mag and racking the slide. He also failed to notice nothing came out of the chamber. He then pulled the trigger and had to fill out an incident report with his agency on why he had a .22 caliber bullet wound through his hand. He called me later and apologized for not listening. He became a much better listener after that. Sometimes we all just need an object lesson. ;)

    The LCP Max is the current King of pocket guns imo. A reliable design with up to 13 round capacity in a capable caliber, in a pistol that shoots much softer than you'd think AND has good, usable sights (and tritium at that)....all the size of your palm. You can also get them for about $369 in a lot of places.

      I don't know.. the Jetfire is pretty good in that it's safe to carry with the hammer lowered on a live round; you thumb-cock it as you draw. Later (American-made) models have a manual safety that allows for "cocked-and-locked" carry.

      I've read that that also makes it easier for a blow to the muzzle (or to the hammer) to cause the hammer to slip the sear and fall. I have not been able to confirm that for certain. Just be cautious.
      Since you have the BS, you should consider carrying it fully-cocked, with the safety on. Mine is an Italian, made in 1964, and does not have the safety lever.

    I made a TON of the "Baby Browning" .25 autos under the PSP name for domestic sales and the Browning name for export when I worked for Precision Small Parts in Charlottesville, VA. I can attest to them being excellent pistols. We were told at the time by a visiting State Police representative that it was the preferred backup and undercover pistol for State Police officers due to their small size, capacity, and reliability. Designed by none other than John Browning, it still has a place in this world and is relevant even today. We had one test pistol in the vault that I'd run proof loads through, and even after having logged well over 100 proof loads, it showed NO signs of fatigue and was just as tight and accurate as it was for the first 6 "normal" loads. Great pistols, if you can find one of the original "PSP .25" guns (not the later "PSA .25" guns, which I won't go into).

    The Colt Junior was made for Colt by Astra until 1968 when it could no longer be imported. Colt started making them themselves and production ran till 1973. The Astra guns are marked made for Colts on the left side of the frame. Astra also produced a small quantity of the Junior in 22 short for Colt

    My favorite is the Baby Browning. There is a stainless copy of the Browning that is almost identical. The Berretta tip barrels are really nice. There are some Italian “25’s” that are based on the Walter fixed barrel design that came in prior to 1968 that are dead on accurate. The Galesi is pretty nice. And then there is the Colt vest pocket “25” that is a Browning design.

    The Beretta 950 Jetfire is my favorite too. I keep mine ready to go and it finds it's way into my pocket or over-night bag fairly often. Mine is a 1964 950B. The "B" model has improved safety (inertial firing pin, I believe) making it safer to carry loaded with the hammer down. The BS model came about after the infamous 1968 Gun Control Act as that safety made it legal for import. Mine, being a 1964 model, lacks that tiny safety but I'd rather thumb back the hammer anyway.
    One other advantage of the tip-up barrel is for hammer-down carry. If you cock it and decide not to shoot, you can tip up the barrel to manually lower the hammer without risking a whooopsie. ;)
