I want my carry arms to work the same way, so I don't have to make an adjustment if I change handguns for comfort or concealment reasons. In a self-defense situtation, I don't want to have to think about my weapon. Thus, I have a line of Bersas, which are thoroughly reliable, in my experience...

Best handgun I've ever fired, period, is the UltraCompact 9mm Bersa. I've never had a misfeed or misfire, and the pistol is dead-on accurate. Under $400, too.

Forget what you've read about the 'cheap' Bersas, and try one -- in particular (if you can find it!) the UltraCompact 9mm.

It isn't -- which, obviously, is not to say some manufacturers don't put it on the box anyway. But, SAAMI has not created specifications for a .380ACP +P rounds, so no two so named may be alike. Buyer beware!

Aw, shiiittt! Can't you guys keep believing that Bersas are cheap, pot-metal trash?!!! Huh, huh, pleeeaaassseeee?! Now I'll never find a backup for my Bersa 9UC, only the best pistol I've ever fired. (Never a misfeed, never a misfire, always accurate. blah, blah -- you don't want one, really...

Ditto the Bersa 9UC, also known as the Firestorm Mini 9mm: If you can find one -- popularity and scarcity have made it a 'tough get' -- you'll love it within a couple of trips to the firing line.

I, too, have smallish hands, but like them to feel full when I shoot. A double-stack of diminutive build does the trick. Bersa makes a fine and reliable, yet inexpensive, line of handguns in a variety of sizes/configurations. My most frequent carry is its Thunder380 Concealed Carry (.380 acp...

The only gun I regret parting with I didn't pay a cent for, and I still have access to: my late father's hunting shotgun -- a 16-gauge, single-shot given to him by his late sister/my aunt -- which I gave to my brother when it became apparent he'd value having it more than me, although I DID...

Buy a gun because you want to own it. Sell it when/if you don't care if you own it anymore. Money really isn't the object, to me. I shoot all of my guns, so I'm not looking toward 'collectibility'. If I want to make an investment, I'll buy a CD, a stock, or an ounce of gold. Guns is guns.

I don't think for a moment Charles K. is pro-confiscation. Registration is another matter. Heck, I own and daily (permitted) carry one of several owned handguns, and even I'm ambivalent about registration (Heck, we register our homes, cars and children -- what DO you think a birth certificate...

This is what is known as 'trolling'. Because this guy doesn't know what he's talking about. The alloy frames of today's Bersa's are made not of "potmetal junk", but 7075 aluminum, which is what the airframes of the original Japanese Mitsubishi Zeros were made from, and is still used today in...

No, I probably don't possess that kind of 'courage' so much as survival instincts. I don't WANT to be in that situation, EVER. But, I prepare for it, just the same. And, in the house, I DO have 9mm (and .45, for that matter, backing up a 12-gauge shotgun). I don't rely on .380ACP everywhere, you...

And what would that '+p' round be? It's my understanding there is no SAAMI .380ACP "+P" rating. Hot-loaded, surplus Santa Barbaras would be the closest I can imagine. Otherwise, I concur: I load alternate Winchester Silvertips and FMJ in my .380 AFTER I make sure ALL will feed reliably. I...

It's a federal license your pawnbroker has -- of course there is going to be federal record-keeping/paperwork involved. Besides, the pawn shop is going to make a profit on the transaction. It is, after all, a business. So, logging in and, subsequently, out, your gun isn't much different than a...

I have two S&W Model 59s (including the one I put 180 rounds through, just today). When the guy in the video rams home the mag, it's definitely a single-stack -- thus, it's a Model 39.
