After a few months of looking at different CCW options, I finally settled in on a relative unknown choice (at least in 40 cal) of a Bersa 40 Ultra Compact
My criteria for a CCW was the following
1) SA/DA Action
2) $500 Max
3) Light and small as possible
4) 40 cal
I looked at the P239, but the $600-700 price range was a bit too high
(I have a SIG226 in 40 that I love)
After looking at the few reviews, the feedback was very positive.
I was able to handle one in a gunshop and liked the feel.
I bought the Bersa and today I shot it for the first time.
A few comments:
Pros
1) Accurate
2) Solid, well balanced feel
3) Comfortable Grip
4) Easy to use controls
5) Price was excellent at $355 shipped
6) All metal construction
7) Small enough to CC
8) 100% reliable (so far) No FTE FTF about 200 rounds so far
Cons
1) Finish not as good as it should be
2) The kick is a bit snappier than I thought it should be
I think its a great deal for someone who wants a rugged inexpensive
CCW weapon
Not quite a Sig, but worth the money
