Born in Argentina and raised by shooters all over the world. Bersa is amazingly accurate. Predictably reliable. And has more safety features than you can imagine.

That is all ....

Decent pistol. Decent price. A little big for a .380. Is there a reason that you want .380? You can get a 9 mm or .40 SW about the same size.

Very nice gun but .380 is hard to get and expensive right now.

I would, but I've bought the Bersa before. Don't limp wrist it. Period. It will jam if you limp wrist.

The one I had was about as good as it gets.

Like yours it was amazingly accurate.

For just a few bucks more you can get a CZ82 in 9mm Makarov. But if you like the Bersa buy it.

I’m not familiar with Bersa but my carry piece is an S&W .380 bodyguard. If I had it to do over I’d opt for a weaker trigger pull. The difference between the cheaper gun and the top brands is a shorter, lighter trigger. Dry fire it and decide if you’d be able to hit a target up to 30 feet away. It took me lots of practice to do that with the (est) 6 lb pull of the S&W.

If you carry it I’d recommend Glasser ammo, which will not ricochet and has a higher knockdown over the standard FMJ.

I NEVER question the calibre that someone wants to get, because I don't have all the info that they have.

For me, at 110 lbs, open carry is the only solution for anything bigger than a .22 jennings in the summer. I've got special needs and I'm not jumping through all those hoops again every time I meet someone that is 'sure' they have a better solution. ;)

But that's just me.

My brother has one. Nice carry gun, well made. I’ve put a few boxes through it. Good price.

I have one, the 15 round plus, very accurate, easy to clean. That’s a good price.

Snatch it up!

(Then let me know how I can get the deal.)

I bought a .380 Bodyguard for my daughter.

Light weight, laser, easy to conceal, etc.

I hate that damned gun and so does my daughter.

It has a 475 pound trigger pull, or at least it seems so.

I've since compared the Bersa and in terms of handling, accuracy, trigger pull, the Bersa is way ahead.

I just wish the Bersa had a similar laser.

Haven't decided yet, plus I looked a 9MM Bersa the other day and the guy offered me $300.00 trade on the Bodyguard.

Still deciding.

Good choice for CC. I am thinking of getting one myself.
