I liked your story about the Massad & Beretta model 70 I had heard about them being used by some Military so here is a story on of all things a Beretta Jetfire & how it saved a downed pilot during the Vietnam war ..after being shot down he was quickly captured I think in Laos anyway he had a beretta jetfire sewn into his flight suit down so well that when he was searched they didnt find it as they marched him thru the jungle on the second day he knew that he didnt escape soon his stamina would be gone so that night he was able to slip out of his rope bonds he got the little jetfire ready & when the time was right shot 3 of his captures 2 head shots the other badly wounded he took one of there AK 47 & made for a river he had passed a day before he grabbed a log & floated for 2 days before hearing voices it was an Army recon patrol with a few local tribe men , he was saved & brought back to there base camp then flown to a hospital ship & home he never flew again trama or the injury when his plane crashed & wouldnt say how the little Beretta was sewn into the flight suit the story was true & gave his name & rank I wished I had saved the magazine but it does show there is a use for small caliber pistols & staying calm & using your head can save your life , I'm not saying carry a 25 for protection or using the Beretta 70 for a carry gun but having a pistol or revolver & trusting it & most of practice regular can save your life some people buy the newest item now being these little 380's they are all the rage now & sell out quickly, Ruger has made fortune with the LCP now each week someone else had another but if you have a little well made Beretta , H&R 22kick , S&W 317 practice & keep it clean you cant go wrong ..... hope you like the story & my word its true , we are not the Police but we have the right to protect ourselves & family & even a stranger if need be join the NRA get a carry permit & stay alert I'm now an old timer but I try & stay in shape & always have a gun close by not all 22's or 25 back at my house I keep a short double 12 guage always on the ready & have a small dog who wakes me if there is someone sneaking about ............
