Generalizing based on limited examples as some have done here really doesn't tell you anything. You might want to try both & see which you like best. My BERSAs are satin nickel, steel, double column, absolutely reliable & accurate w/ very good DA (excellent compared to PPK) & excellent...

Fixed barrels for accuracy, 380 or 38 Special. BERSA 380s. My double column BERSAs were much more.

Have a pair. Since no one has posted the obligatory pic. yet: Will probably buy only 1 or 2 more. :cool:

:cool: 2 hands. Pair consecutive serial nos.

FYI, Wild Bill carried .36s, probably for accuracy. .36 BP 80 grain over 900 f/s or similiar to .380, 9mm Short which also normally uses a fixed barrel.

Good luck finding someone who will trade. :D Albanian sums it up very well. A gun should be reliable & should not fall apart. If they know how to make them good they don't seem to care as long as people put up w/ it. Albanian Which 2 BERSAs? My BERSAs have excellent reliability...

Reliability is far more important than caliber. Would go w/ a reliable 32 over 22LR. 380 is much better than either. Keeping the Walther TPH 22LR. :cool:

I picked the safety/platform first. All 3 autos same system. :cool: Look at a CZ83.

Would buy a Bersa or Firestorm .22lr, very reliable, accurate, etc.

Actually 9mm Short (380) is considered equivalent to 38 Special snubs normally used ... :cool:

Completely worthless. :D As are some other nos. here. :D Talk about massaging the nos.! :D So it beats a 22. 9mm short (380) is better. :cool: PS If someone wants a 9mm so badly, then get a real one w/ a 9 mm barrel length.

My BERSA 380s shoot very nice. Some consider 380 recoil to be quick. Haven't shot a BDA. Handled one & liked it, would expect the BDA to be a nice shooter. The BDA wound up No. 2 & went w/ BERSA mainly for the fixed barrel (accuracy) & better trigger. Have shot an alloy frame FEG PPK 380...

That was a quick comment on your cost comment of two particular models. When double column BERSAs were available they were about $350. Cost is not an issue w/ me. Would never choose one gun over another based on cost as you evidently didn't either since you said you bought the CZ83 for the...

A friend bought a Llama 380 because of "small hands" & had the same issue "the pin that holds it in was too loose, and would lift up during firing". PS Wally Paid much more for a modern DA/SA reliable BERSA. :cool:

BERSA for reliability, accuracy, DA/SA, trigger pull, etc. :cool:
