Got my Bersa modified by Zen Grasshopper

[mlk18]

You know I love this little Bersa. Without a doubt it is the best .380 on the market for the price. It is accurate, reliable and easy to carry. However, I do have some complaints (believe it or not). The magazine disconnect safety sucks, they could have melted the frame a little more as it is fairly sharp in some places, the hooked trigger guard serves no purpose on a ccw and the grips are fair at best. Well I have now taken care of most of those complaints, with a little help from (as he's called here) Zen Grasshopper of Bad Buddha Firearms. He removed the magazine disconnect safety with ease, removed and reshaped the hooked trigger guard, melted the frame and made my pocket gun alot easier to conceal. Plus in my opinion it looks better. Like the Series 95, the new shape of the receiver allows me to use almost any holster for the Sig P230/P232 or Walther PP. So all and all, I am a pretty happy camper. Now if I could just find some thin aftermarket grips.

Thanks again Zen_Grasshopper!

Bersa make a darn fine gun don't they? I'm not a big fan of the two-tone but for some reason it is the least expensive model.

What kind of groups do you get at 50'?

I just got a Mak and it is getting about 4" groups and shoots 6-7" high.

My Bersa shoots tighter than any of my Makarovs (East German and Chinese included) ever did. I never measure though. I am an LEO and I believe in shooting for substantial hits and not small multiple round groups. Two bullets in the same hole doesn't bring down the bad guy as well as a single hole in two different vital organs. And we train like we live, like we want to perform if that day ever comes. But anyway, for the most part it shoots to point of aim from the 25 yard line and in, but will occassionally fly slightly high and right. But that may be ammo selection as well.
