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? 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 twelve-foot alligator, that suddenly emerged from the murky water and was 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!"
