This is the key deciding factor for me. If you are looking for a collector's piece the Jetfire is fine, for a "working" gun that I would want to put a reasonable amount of ammo through in the course of practice, I would much prefer something like the Beretta that is still in production and serviceable if needed.Jetfire's long out of production, parts may be problematic if needed.
My point is that a used part from Numrich may or may not work in your gun.
Not all parts are drop-in, and if you get one that was fitted to another pistol it may not function correctly in yours.
Therefor- I CARE.

The Jetfire could have been either a Model 950, or a Model 950BS. The latter had a manual safety.
They were made from 1952 until 2003. There were no major weak points, and, if you gun is down, who really cares if the replacement part is used? Beretta still has magazines for it.
They also made a Model 950/950BS in .22 Short. I have a pair of them, one in each caliber, that are over 30 years old, and still humming along.![]()
I have to go look but the owner manual for my no safety jetfire . says can carry hammer down loaded. Seem be useless as a SD pistol to try to rack that little slide or play Barney with a round in pocket and tipping barrel .
