You are correct about 007. When "Q"gave him the PPK, he chided JB about his Beretta .25s lack of power- If IRC!

As requested, here are two photos of the pistol, along with one of the 1936-manufactured holster which came with it.

BTW, there is no extractor on the Jetfire.

I believe the Jetfire, aka Model 950, was manufactured by P Beretta starting in (I think?) 1952 or 1953. The model I chanced upon was the one which preceeded it, with the patent date -- in Italiano, "Brevettato" followed by year in both Julian Calendar as well as the Fascist-calendar Roman numerals. Anglo translation of mine indicates simply that it was patented in 1939. I am definitely NOT a gunsmith, and ignorant re whether an extractor is present - I have yet to disassemble my new toy. However, as I noted in my post #21, here above, Numrich (aka Gun Parts Corp) both indicates there is one in the Model 418, and even offers a picture of it. Now 20* here -- first dry day above freezing, and I'll take it to range -- hopefully a learning, as well as fun outing.

YOU ARE INDEED CORRECT -- the 950 has an ejector, but they list naught re an extractor. Thanks for this info! geo

Only the tip up barrel models were sans extractor. All auto pistols have ejectors.

Thank you, Texas by God, for your succinct words -- I've never heard it expressed so well! I knew my tip-up barrel .32acp does not have an extractor; again, NOT a gunsmith, I was not aware it was an across the board phenomena. The actual "innards" of a firearm being a second order variable to the prime one: that it functions flawlessly. I'm hoping this one will be at that level . The only "flaw" I've so far noted is the screw attaching the port-side (left) grip appears to have both a tad-too-large-diameter head, which also looks slightly boogered -- as you can clearly see in pictures I've posted. I'll be seeking a replacement screw, but if not findable, I suspect I can machine the screw present to make it look better, this assuming it is of correct thread.

Marshall -- While personally, I cannot agree with you more, I believe I would have too much to give up / lose should I attempt driving about in an unregistered motor vehicle; and, carry about an unregistered handgun. I sadly know first-hand of a nice .45 revolver which was sold to me that was apparently stolen. IF it was returned to its rightful owner, I never was informed. I was simply giving the choice of swapping the revolver for a paper receipt, or being charged with possession of stolen property -- not a tough choice to make. I was being a tad tongue-in-cheek with the very statement you quoted re our elected officials.

I did not start this thread to do anymore than get some info on my new toy; and ever so appreciate the info generously given by those on this forum who replied. I'm retired, and most sadly do not have the wherewithal to move to a less gun-hating state, much less with a bum leg, the physical ability so to do. I laud your sentiments, and hopefully you, as well as others, can and will enact a change by, at the least, going to the polls and casting votes for those who at the least approximate our firearm-related desires. Perhaps -- on this site -- you might even start a new thread to get things going?
BEST!

George,
I have relatives in the Adirondack region and love the country, but chose to live elsewhere. I sympathize, and support you because those who believe they can be sovereign citizens are living on fantasy island, because the "gummint" already has their metadata... Cheers and beers.
The ENEMY is listening.
HE wants to know what YOU know.
Keep it to yourself.
My "Wild" .25ACP loads are:
50 grain FMJ ahead of 3.1 grains of BE-86 and WSP primers at .905" OAL.
63 grain LEAD FP ahead of 3.0 grains of BE-86 and WSP primers at .905" OAL.
I shoot them out of a Ruger Custom .25ACP Single Eight revolver with a 10-5/8" long barrel (~12" muzzle to frame recoil face) Built on a converted .22CAL Ruger Convertible Single Six Frame.
I estimate the Pressures at around 25,000psi to 30,000psi MAP.
I have not Chronographed the Loads yet.
Best Regards,
Chev. William
