How much did you pay for that?

[FlyinGN]

$275:):)

[MrTuffPaws]

Congrats and nice gun. I always thought about getting one.

[gbelleh]

I love my Bersa .380. Let us know how it shoots!

[wally]

Is that a safety or a decocker on the frame?

--wally.

[smooth operator]

Yeah Give us a range report, I've been thinking about getting 1 of those
Jerry

[FlyinGN]

Wally, its a decocker like a Beretta 92 works. It decocks the trigger and disconnects the link to the firing pin. Click off the safety and then the first show is double action. After that its single action.

[Rob1035]

one of the few guns that is obviously geared to both handed shooters

[FlyinGN]

Yes it is Rob.. It fits my hand like a glove too.. I can change the mag release to left side too:)

[gotime242]

Nice gun, im considering one myself. Does it feel comfortable enough to be a range/practice a lot gun? Like can you get enough grip on it?

Thanks

[FlyinGN]

absolutely!! Its a very comfortable gun...

[PCRCCW]

Nice looking gun. Are you sure its SS the slides made from? It looks like Nickel to me....could be the pics.
Shoot well.........

[Shear_stress]

Nice gun! Bersa puts out a great product and a great price.

Looking forward to the range report.

[Lennyjoe]

Welcome to the club. I have the same pistol in .45 and enjoy it. It definitely is ambi user friendly. Also, the grip is very comfortable. Extra mags for them are a bit pricey but the pistol has served me well so far. It's now my primary carry weapon.

[Nathanael_Greene]

Very nice.

Is it too early to write a letter to Santa?

[Lennyjoe]

No it isn't. I'm here to tell ya fellas, for the price, this pistol is a good deal.

[FlyinGN]

PCRCCW -- Yes its Stainless steel. Its just the pictures..

Just got back from the range with my new firestorm tonight.. 150 flawless rounds.. accuracy was very good.. not as good as my full sized Beretta 92 but darn fine for such a short barrel. By the second box at 33' I was shooting like this.. Very happy with my Firestorm

[scrofcheck]

Very nice handgun. Question Is it a Firestorm or is it a Bersa ?
Checked out the web sites for both and it appears to be a Bersa but
couldn't find one with Firestorm on the grips. That price is awesome.
Dealers price is $ 325. How did you manage to get it for $ 275.?

[FlyinGN]

Itsa Firestorm. made by Bersa. The triggerguards and grips are different.

http://www.firestorm-sgs.com/

[scrofcheck]

Thanks for the quick reply. I checked out Firestorm's web site but i can't find
a 9mm SS. I found a Bersa SS. Checked our local retailers and they say they can get me a Bersa SS for $ 375. Your a lucky dog to get that Firestorm at that price. Take good care of it. BTY where did you purchase it ?

[FlyinGN]

got it from here..

Sweet!

Thanks for the info and the linkage.

[FlyinGN]

The gun continues to impress me.... Its fast becoming my all around favorite fun gun shooter.... No malfunctions or jams at all either..

[Flashpoint]

I've shot a friends Bersa 9mm. We ran about 100 rds right after he got it and it ran perfectly. The sight were a little big for accurate shooting but would be great for combat, which is what the guns made for anyway. That gun more than any other DA/SA was real natural to draw and c0ck the hammer back as I was bring it up to line of site and shoot the first shot SA. It happens in one fluid motion. I've been looking for one of thier all nickel or duo-tones in .45 for a while now.

[Manedwolf]

How's the size of that one for concealed carry, and in comparison to the Firestorm Mini 45, if anyone has one of those?

[FlyinGN]

the mini 9 is a tiny bit smaller then the mini 45.. but basicaly the same size..

[Mad Magyar]

Oh No!:uhoh: Don't tell me this is a pistol from Spain, like the Llamas, Astras, and Stars? Everyone tells me they are a POS.:evil: You know, all the "experts" who never get off their "fat-butt" to do any shooting, except with their mouth.:p
Enjoy your fine-looking pistol....

[Flashpoint]

h No! Don't tell me this is a pistol from Spain, like the Llamas, Astras, and Stars?

I think there from Brazil, but I know what you're saying. ;)

[MrAcheson]

Don't tell me this is a pistol from Spain, like the Llamas, Astras, and Stars? Everyone tells me they are a POS.Bersas are Argentinian and have a good reputation, unlike the llamas which firestorm also markets.
You know, all the "experts" who never get off their "fat-butt" to do any shooting, except with their mouth.Mr. Pot I'd like you introduce you to Ms. Kettle.

[richh56]

Nice 9mm

can you tell me how much larger the bersa 9mm here is compaired to the Bersa thunger 380. which is what I carry 99% of the time.

thanks

[Flashpoint]

can you tell me how much larger the bersa 9mm here is compared to the Bersa thunder 380.

My best guess is that the 9mm is about 50% larger than the 380, but I'm sure someone has more precise measurements.

[Phaetos]

If you look at the measurements on that website he linked to, it actually looks like the 9mm is smaller than the .380. But then again I was never good with fractions if it's not 1/4, 1/2,3/4 etc. :)

[Phaetos]

Itsa Firestorm. made by Bersa. The triggerguards and grips are different.

http://www.firestorm-sgs.com/


Ok so what's the difference between a Firestorm and a Bersa name?

[tracer]

Two questions:
1.Does the bore axis seem to be above your hand or "high"?
2.What's the trigger like,both da/sa?
tracer

[FlyinGN]

first off. The Firestorm is made my Bersa. Sorta like Mercury is made by Ford. Its differences are..
* trigger guards are different.
* grips have finger grooves and side panels are different on the Firestorm.


Second..

The pistol (for me) is a natural shooter. Th axis seems about right on. A bit above my hand.
trigger is nice and crisp. The DA is too heavy for my liking but the SA is sweet and meduim light and breaks nice..

I don't recall thinking the bore axis was high, so it probably wasn't. I do recall the trigger being real close to the trigger on my Sig p239, with the DA pull being a bit longer, but actually a hair lighter. The SA pull was just a light and crisp as the Sig's, which for a gun at almost half the price impressed me. The only thing I didn't care for was the finish on the slide, but that could be easily fixed with a trip to Tripp's.:evil:

[tracer]

Flashpoint-I am very familiar with the 239.does the bore axis seem as high as the Sig?Incidentally,thanks for the response,I love cheap guns.

The bore axis on the Bersa will fill about the same or maybe a little lower. I don't think I'd call he Bersa a cheap gun, but defiantly a inexpensive gun, and yeh, I lovem' too. :D

[Phaetos]

I got to handle one of these Mini-Firestorm 9's today at a gun show. I was not impressed. It was heavy and actually seemed bigger than my XD-40 Sub. Maybe it was just me, but it didn't look as if it would be a comfortable option for carry. I was actually hoping to see some Kahr offerings, but no one had any, save for a few P9's that were used. No new Kahr's, especially the CW9 that I REALLY want to get a look at. Also didn't see any Kel-Tec offerings, except for a 32 acp. Bah.

[texas_42]

New to this forum and I just purchased a Firestorm/Bersa mini 9 mm n/plated handgun from AuctionArms and hope to have it next week. Got it for $225 and feel that was a fair price. If it's half as good as the Bersa Thunder 380 I bought last year I will be real happy. Any suggestions on good place to get clips at a lower price. From what I read they are around $45 ea.

[Tropical Z]

I wish ProMag made some affordable mags for these.It's their only drawback.:banghead:
