Bersa/Firestorm .22lr

[telecaster1981]

Hey Guys!

I'm a new member here as of today but I've been enjoying your forum for a long time! I was curious to see if any of you have had any experience with Bersa pistols, more specifically, the Firestorm .22. I've heard lots of good things about them and I'm interested to see what you all have to say about them. Thanks in advance!

a great trainer pistol that firestorm .22lr, feed it CCI Minimags or Velociters, many including myself report that it comes it a mighty recoil spring more suited to the hottest defensive .22lr ammo. If you need to feed it bulk, remington golden bullet has been one of the more reliable in terms of cycling energy, but unless you're feeding it the hottest you can find you'll run into stovepipes, which will give you more practice for your drills.

all my friends know it as that connoiseur .22 pistol

it's not a target pistol, the sight radius is 4.5'' inches. it's closest competition is probably the Beretta 87 (which is also very good) but I went with the Bersa because it's slide mounted safety makes it a better trainer for my model 92 and it's less expensive.
