Well........ It's nice to know that if our place is ever invaded by werewolves, I can be fully prepared to deal with the pesky critturs.

Might come in handy if I ever go to K.C. or St Louis again.

Yeah - especially if you're going to hang out in the park near the arch in St. Louis at night. Been there - done that and it's pretty scary.

$99.95 is pretty pricey but if it saves your butt from a werewolf I guess it would be worth it. My problem is I would have to get a Sonny Crockett Bren Ten 10mm pistol for about $3000.

I'll just use my own bullet mold, and pour my own melted silver

Wouldn't it be simpler just to wear a silver cross around your neck? I think I saw that work in a movie one time.

No

A werewolf traditionally possesses supernatural strength and augmented senses as well as the natural hunting instincts and weapons of the wolf, like menacing jaws and claws. Therefore, they are formidable monsters and very hard to kill. One of the most ancient talismans against lycanthropy is the herb wolfsbane (said to have grown from the saliva of Cerberus, the three-headed dog guardian of the Greek underworld, when Hercules brought him up to the surface world). Other herbs that legends say are effective as werewolf repellents include rye, mistletoe, and mountain ash (rowan).

Werewolves are not affected by religious symbols like crucifixes and holy water (unlike their counterpart monsters, vampires), but in modern fiction, they are vulnerable to weapons containing silver, such as silver bullets or silver blades. The silver bullet is the most iconic anti-werewolf weapon, but in many stories, anything silver causes agonizing pain if it touches the beast. Therefore, to be most certain of killing the monster, a werewolf hunter should carry good quantities of wolfsbane, rye grains, mistletoe, and mountain ash leaves or wood, and be armed with a variety of well-made silver weapons.

Since it is likely that a werewolf will overpower a human in close combat, it is essential to have a gun or two custom-designed to shoot silver bullets at a long range; once disabled by the gun, the werewolf can be finished off if necessary using a sword or axe with a silver-plated blade.

This is where bullet casters win... just find your own silver to melt down like lead, and have a mold ready to pour into and then load the bullet into a case.

Nah! You can buy a Glock 20SF or 29 for under $600. A Glock 40 will cost you about $700. That's chicken feed for a man of your means.
