Anyone have a FS22M (.22lr) Firestorm SA pistol? what experiences and or problems have you had with the pistol.

Thanks,

I have the Bersa 23 which predates the Firestorm but I think is the same design.

I like it and think it is a good deal for the money. The grip is a little fat and short but not too bad.

I have been getting some FTF. I think the culprit is a tight chamber or a small burr. It had a burr on the chamber face but I thought I got rid of it. I guess I left a little. It is better to have to go back and take off more metal than take too much off.

Price should be about $225 for a NIB Firestorm. They are not in the same class as Ruger or Browning pistols for target work but they fill a different niche. They are great "kit guns" or practice guns for your centerfire pistol. It is DA/SA with a safty/decocker so it makes a great trainer.

I wouldn't recomend it for your only .22 but if you have a good .22 target pistol already, get a Firestorm.
