Well, I had shelved the Bersa .380 for awhile, using the CZ83 .380 or Glock 19 as carry guns. While the Glock was (and still is) still my carry choice for urban forays (Sacramento, San Francisco, etc), I was using the CZ83 for local, EDC. Several things happened.
One, I found that the CZ83 with its steel frame is actually as heavy as the Glock, and offered little size benefit.
Two, while incredibly accurate, I have recently begun to have some FTFs with my carry ammo, Buffalo Bore +p 90 grain JHPs The last time I fired it, I had an average of one FTF per Magazine (13 rounds), That is NOT acceptable.
That brought me back to the old reliable...the FireStorm. I have NEVER had a FTF or FTE with the Bersa. It gobbles up anything I feed it, including the Buffalo Bore +P "Flying Ashtray" HPs. The Bersa is also a virtual tack driver, and is at least as accurate as my CZ83, if not more so. I can bounce pop cans offhand at 7-10 yards easily (my favorite drill).
It holds 9 rounds , as I use 380 CC mags. Nine rounds of the of the Buffalo Bore (with its 300+ ft lbs ME) should would handle almost anything I would encounter in our small town. When out selling Realestate. it fits nicely in my Gunglove butt forward holster, either under my jacket, or in an outside pocket of my messanger bag that I use as a briefcase.
I am getting an S&W M&P Shield 9mm when it gets out of 10 Californication DROS jail. That will likely replace the Glock as my Urban carry piece, loaded with Speer Gold Dot 124 +Ps (345 ft lbs ME from a 3").
I do love my little Bersa!
