I've been looking hard at these two pistols for a MAK/PPK style pistol and understand that Firestorm (formerly or concurrently Bersa) makes a pretty good product for a very reasonable price.
However, I'm stuck on which would be a more utility caliber. I feel that I would shoot the .22 much more than the .380 at the range and that it would make a much more fun plinker in the woods but wonder if it would be effective enough for defensive use.
I also have .22 rifles and have much ammo for them whereas I don't have a .380 anymore and really don't want to pick up another caliber to stock for it.
I think my biggest concern is using it as a CCW would it be effective enough? I currently ccw a G23, but of course want something smaller at times. If the .22 is not to be considered enough for ccw, than I could consider the .380 Firestorm or a MAK if they are still around at reasonable enough prices.
