Maybe this will help a few of you... I have two of the Bersa 380CC pistols. Initially both pistols were very reliable and ate any ammo I sent through them. Recently I started having troubles with a few jams and the slide stop was finicky about staying open. The picture will show what I found as the culpret. The magazine follower in the CC models is plastic and had gotten a place dug out in it where the slide stop is actuated. The magazine would hang up during shooting and then fail to actuate the slide stop securely. Both my pistols have ~500 rounds through them now. Following several online chats on the Bersa website, They sent me the metal followers used in the Bersa Thunder 380 instead of the plastic mag followers. The only downside is the mags now hold 7 instead of 8. I chose reliability over another round in the magazine. Range report now to come, but I am betting my problems are solved. The shipping label in the picture shows the part number sent to me. You will not find that part in the 380CC listed parts. Some of you may already know this about the plastic mag followers. I didn't and a few others may not know as well.
