My bro has had two, both used for CC and he loves them. He and I disagreed on reliability. They cycle ammo fine, but his first one suffered internal damage at about 2,000 rounds and was deemed not worth repairing by my brother. He may not have been aware of the warranty. He bought another one and is happy with it. My feedback to him was that it's common to get 10,000 to 50,000 rounds out of many higher-quality autos and that I thought a 2,000 rebuild/tune-up was early. I just put this out there because you asked.
I own, and have owned, a fair amount of firearms that I probably never put 2,000 rounds through. I'd be more paranoid about a CCW than a range gun when it came to reliability. That said, I own and have owned several Tauri with good luck, as well as a few less expensive guns that I was unhappy with. I would carry most of my Tauri if it came down to it. In your place, I read up on quality issues with the Bersa you're looking at and make sure you keep up on maintenance, if that's an issue (e.g. if they recommend a new recoil spring every X rounds, etc.).
