Short 9mm great if you are 007, other wise not so good. Please go buy a real weapon so if you have to go to war you are ready, and remember your war face.

I carry a Beretta Tomcat in .32ACP loaded alternating with Hydra-Shocks and Glaser Safeties, easily concealable. I like the flip barrel feature.

Watch (for the CC). You can trust Hickok45. So, sure, I would. Price is about right.

I have yet to find someone willing to stand in front of someone shooting a gun with .380.....or heck, .22LR for that matter!

Love the CZ 82 but right now I’m having trouble finding 9 Mak practice ammo. Russian embargo hasn’t affected .380.

Sellior and Belloit makes ball ammo for it. Believe it or not I have 4 boxes of Hornady Critical Defense for mine. Pricey, but it’s for everyday carry.

CZ eats it just fine.

Yes that is a neat design. I have not seen a Tomcat but I guess it is an enlarged Jetfire.

I have had several of the Minx and Jetfire models including one with a 4 inch barrel. With that tip up barrel they eliminated the extractor. Also easy for a person with arthritis to load as it is not necessary to operate the slide.

Good price good gun. My experience was similar to JRandomFreeper on the limp wrist jam as my sister managed to stovepipe at least one round every other magazine. Problem went away after about 200 rounds, though that may have been because she stopped with the limp wrist.

If you don't have a carry gun yet, YES.

If you can be more choosy, NO. Taurus guns do have a reputation for malfunction.

The Beretta is double action so no cocking is involved. A simple flip of a lever and the barrel pops up and you can check to see if a round is in there. It’s easy to carry in a purse or on my hip with little bulge. Looks like I’m carrying a cell phone there.

It sounds like the design changed quite a bit from the old Jetfire and Minx pistols. They were single action and the trigger guard doubled as the spring for the tip up barrel.

Once around 1964 my best friend and I were shooting at coke cans floating in a pond. We were using the little .22 short Minx. from maybe 15 yards away we were either hitting the cans or coming close. Then one shot hit about 15 feet away from the target. We both looked at each other and started laughing.

I still have no idea what caused that awful shot. Maybe a bad round or maybe I jerked that tiny thing without paying attention.

My Tomcat is very accurate. I've hit targets out to twenty-five feet or more - flat.

There's a lever on the left side just below the slide that'll flip the barrel up.

if your budget is such that a bersa is the only choice- buy it-
but if you add another 100 to your gun, buy something a little more dependable and wont hurt your hands to fire it-
bersa has been around for a while-
not a show piece and snubbed by many a gun snob-
but for a budget 380 its just OK-
the SW body guard is a step up- buying a kel tec PF9 for 300.00 is a little better deal,- but recoil sucks too-
buy the best gun you can afford and practice with it so you know its limitations- * learn as much about guns as you can..

In my opinion the S&W bodyguard and the Kel-Tec whatever it is, is a step down from Bersa.

Bersas are excellent guns period.
