Bersa 22

[JG55]

I picked one of theses up a couple of months ago and have found it to be excellent at plinking. For a gun so small compared to the Rugers, S&W and Buckmark, it is extremely accurate and easy to clean. Even out to 50 ft , it is not hard to keep a good group at 1-2 inches using the guns fixed sights.

Pros

• Very Accurate out of the box
  
• All metal
  
• Compact size
  
• Easy to disassemble, clean and reassemble- Pull the lever down lift off slide that's it.
  
• Ergonomics are good, feels good in the hand and grips well- aims well
  
• 3 Dot sight system which is adjustable
  
• Low recoil
  
• Safety/Decocker
  
• Magazines have a pull down bar for ease of loading
  
• Inexpensive
  
• Designed to be inexpensive trainer
  

Cons

• Picky about ammo
  
• I have found the Federal Auto Match (white box), Blazers and CCI works fine, other stuff hit or miss or no so much.
  
• At Bersa Chat Most everyone recommends Blazers and CCI.
  
• Only comes with one Magazine
  

Anyone looking for a compact plinker or a gun to train a new shooter with, might want to take a look at this one.

I give it 4.5 stars out of 5 stars due to ammo issue.

I have one just like it, and I agree...Great little gun. Now, if I could only find some extra magazines for it...

Mine loves Remington Golden Bullets, go figure. Runs like a champ with them.

I like them but the trigger cannot be fixed (like the target pistols you listed, which can be) -- making it not really a target pistol. I think it may take other ammos as you break it in more, but blazer is excellent consistency for a bulk pack ammo and if it takes those...

I think the Bersa is an excellent buy, my Dad has the Thunder.380, also a very nice shooter.

I think each gone has it's own idiosyncrasies in regards to ammo. Mine doesn't like Wolff, Winchester and Fed 550 red box. I have read where others like those. Just find the one that works and stick with it. I like the trigger, so I am a happy camper with mine.

a Con is the Key lock safety to me . Does it have an extractor ? Also how much was it ? I am really interested in it .

[LCPfraTN]

I have been considering one of these for quite a while....but the new Ruger SR22 has got my eye now. I'm sure I'll add one of these Bersas to my .22LR collection someday though.

I have one as well. Haven't shot it that much but do enjoy it. With bulk ammo it becomes a manually cycled piece, so I use CCI maximags. Wish they made a WMR model.

What material is the slide made of ? I read that the Ruger's slide is made of Aluminum . I kinda like my slides made of carbon steel .
