Me!
I don't have a Bersa, but I have the Firestorm .380 for my wife. It is the same gun, except for some minor cosmetic differences: The triger guard on the Firestorm let's it fit in a Walther holster, and the front of the grips are molded with finger grooves instead of flat.
I love this gun. I am not going to say it is a nicer gun that either the Walther or Sig 232, but, what I will say is my wife liked shooting it better than either of those two.

We have put about 1800 rounds of ammo through it so far, every brand you can think of. Ameican Eagle, CCI Blazer, this bluk ammo that comes in a funny orange box...and it has had no problem with anything. I can't wait to try the WWB .380 I've heard is out there.
The carry ammo in the gun is Federal's 90gr Hyrda-Shok's. That's proably about 300 of the rounds we have shot. I have yet to try any other kind of H.P. The Federal worked, and I was unwilling to spend the money to test the gun for reliability with anything else.
End result..I think your wife would like this gun. And, for under $240, I don't think you can find a better deal(except my 16" 7.62X39 Saiga...that's a lot of gun for the money also).
They are very common guns now, that have gained greatly in popularity the last 2 years or so. I'm sure some other folks will be along shortly to back me up.
My only complaint at all is the safety...it's backwards from all my other guns.
