arcus or bersa?

[ArchAngelCD]

If you're looking at a Bersa in .380 you might want to look at a Firestorm instead. It's made by Bersa but it's less expensive. I'm only suggesting a less expensive gun because usually when someone buy's their first gun they find it's not exactly what they want or they soon grow out of the smaller caliber. http://www.firestorm-sgs.com/

Good luck in finding the gun you want and welcome to THR.

Thanks everyone for ALL of the input. I am currently leaning twords the arcus 94c...since the big gun show in my area is not until january who know what will happen between now and then!

What are some opinions on this $245 FM I just found on gunsamerica? Also centur arms dosent list prices for the arcus unless you have an FFL...does anyone have a current price on the 94c?

That's the abreviated FM "Detective" model that most owners like very much.

I highly recommend the Bersa 9mms. I bought a compact and like it so much that I bought a fullsize and then another compact. My first compact has about 2k through it with no problems, the FS has about 1500 rnds flawless
as well.
The Bersa is most certainly a P88 clone. The Bersa actually has a little bit beefier frame rails than the P88. My P88 slide will fit on my Compact Bersa, but is too long. It won't fit the Fullsize Bersa because the Bersa frame is wider than the Walther.

I just got back from the local gadner mountain and checked out the bersa thunder mini9...what a nice gun!!!! It fit my hand perfectly! I just have to find an arcus (and may a stoeger also!) locally and compare them with the bersa! Thanks again for all the great feedback.

Also if anyone can tell me what the arcus 94c is going for from century arms I would appreciate it!

$350 budget = CZ or Glock trade-in. You won't regret either.

Dave, I know Glocks are GREAT, RELIABLE guns...but I just cant get past how UGLY they are. I know that is being to subjective but a CZ or a Hi-power clone looks so much better to me :
