I own the duo-tone model. Awesome little gun. Though not as powerful as the .38spl, I do on occasion carry it. Though mostly in in BUGout bag as a backup. I typically carry a j-frame size .38 or a full size .40 as a primary. Some times a K-frame .357mag. But the Bersa is a good little...

Honestly, I would carry my CZ-52 ANY-DAY-OF-THE-WEEK. I dont have a problem hiding a full size, and the CZ has a extremely thin profile. Getting used to the grip angle takes a little practice. But the loads are ABOVE par with any standard of ammo today. The HP rounds deliver .357mag...

Key, Wallet, Phone and Camels always present. Options depending on clothing and location to where I am going include HK USP-40 Fullsize, S&W Mod. 65 .357 mag., Ruger SP-101 .38 spl +P, and Taurus Mod. 85UL .38 SPL +P. Depends on not only what I am wearing, but most importantly WHERE I am...
