Bernardelli P-ONE issues

Doubt you will find many owners out there.

However, what kind of issues are you having with it?
 
I'm not aware of particular weak points, maybe the left grip that holds the magazine release button in place has to be 100%. The chrome finish sometimes chips off from some edges, expecially on the rails.
Probably a very hard to find pistol in USA. Very common and cheap in Italy.

P.S.: in the early nineties examples the barrel itself was a masterpiece.

Mine has a matte black finish. I've had failure to feed, best I can remember. Haven't shot it in years, and less than a 50 rd. box of ammo. It's in mint condition. Not trying to sell it. Just fix it. Maybe the feed ramp needs polishing or building up. Bought it in the late 1990's. Then the Blue Book of Gun Values listed value approx. $580. Thought someone might know some common quirk that could possibly be helpful in the solution.

I'm not familiar with this pistol but since it's only been fired a few times it's possible there's some manufacturing burrs left on the slide that would wear down with a little use.

Does it have more than one magazine? Trying it with different mags can help determine if the failure to feed is mag related.

What ammo were you shooting through it? I would start with ball because it's the easiest to feed.

I would try some more testing before I did anything to the feed ramp.
 
I'd also check the extractor tension and if it moves without dragging somewhere: it could be a little sticky. If I remember well it is a SIG-like extractor with a plunger pushed by a very strong spring. I suggest to clean it with a good solvent and then lube it with a very fluid gun oil. Or disassembly it and polish the orizontal surfaces in contact with the slide.
