That’s because the design of the pistol means there is no extractor.
If the cartridge is jammed, then it will be necessary to either pry it out from the back, or to ram a rod down the muzzle in order to dislodge the round. The tip-up barrel is released with a lever on the left side, and in the event of a misfire the barrel can be flipped up to expel a bad cartridge quickly and easily – so long as the cartridge isn’t jammed in the chamber. It also allows for clearing a misfire quickly under some circumstances. This makes the gun user-friendly for the elderly and those with some kinds of disability.
This allows you to load the gun and check that it is loaded, without operating the slide – a feature some people with poor grip strength really like. One thing a lot of people like about the Jetfire is the ‘tip-up’ barrel feature. A lot of people like the Jetfire because it was so very small and light, and is a true pocket gun. It is solidly made, though still very light, thanks to an alloy frame. The Jetfire is just too small for my meaty hands, much more so than the Beretta 21A Bobcat, which replaced it. I fall firmly into this category, as noted above. The barrel and slide assembly presents a very small profile above your hand when you shoot it, and the grip is small enough that some people have a hard time shooting it at all, let alone with any accuracy. The Jetfire is small – just about 4.5-inches long, about 3.3-inches tall. 25 ACP, though sometimes you will find a “Minx” model, which shoots. They can still be found in good used condition all over for well under $200, and there are a fair number of accessories available for the model (including factory magazines still sold on the Beretta website).
The Beretta 950 Jetfire is an older gun, originally introduced in the 1950s, then with modifications and minor updates kept in production until a few years ago. Now, I will admit that this is literally a case of “once bitten, twice shy” since one of the first times I tried shooting a Jetfire it ‘bit’ me in the web of my hand between the thumb and forefinger. Though I say that with a bit of animosity. Generally, they produce excellent guns, but I don’t think that the Beretta 950 Jetfire is one of them. 25-caliber handgun is reliable, has a high capacity and even pretty accurate for being so small.īeretta has been around, making firearms, just about forever.
The Jetfire has always had a minor role, often seen in movies strapped to an ankle or hidden under a sleeve, but that’s where it really shines – it’s a concealed carry, back up gun. The Beretta 950 Jetfire is meant for deep cover.
