Excellent
Review by David on 9/12/2016

I bought mine used about 5-6 years ago. I have never had any problem with it except for some hard primers in Magtech brand ammo. I had 2 in a box of 50 that did not fire the first pull of the trigger. Pulled the trigger a second time and they both went bang. I also had trouble with this ammo in another pistol. Other than that it has never failed me. It is quite capable of 8 rounds on a playing card in 4 seconds at 7 yards. I have never worried about it protecting my life if necessary at close range.

Nice little CCW gun
Review by 003402 on 7/30/2016

I have had this gun for 3 years and it is one of my favorites. Its heftier than some other 380 CCW guns and it fits nicely in my hands which are large. It is very accurate and runs like a champ. Never had any feed issues. Buy an extra magazine and break it in. You won't have any regrets getting this gun.

A vey accurate and a good gun for the price. If not for the feed ramp issue and hard plastic grips, I would have rated it 5 stars.
Review by Gerald on 4/21/2016

On the first 15 rounds, the nose of FMJ would hang on the feed ramp, every time. The gun was broken down, cleaned and lubed before it was ever fired. At this time I would have rated it at 1 star. Did a little research on the net and followed a few suggetions for a possible solution:
1). Locked the slide open for a couple of days.
2.) Used Emory cloth to smooth the inside lips of the magazine.
3). Loaded the magizine and left it for a couiple of days to relax the spring.
4). Slightly polished the feed ramp.
The gun now runs perfectly. So far, approximatley 50 rounds without a problem. Gun is accurate and I like the SA/DA trigger. Grips are not great... hard plastic.
Good gun for the price and is accurate!

Bersa 380
Review by Shipwreck on 4/15/2015

I have 3 the duo tone, the nickel finish 7 rd, and the nickel finish 15rd S model. These PPK clones to me are nicely built and are especially good quality made and reliable shooters have shot different ammo 380acp from tula ammo to federal I would use brass casings not steel on these pistols never had a malfunction to date. Perfect for a woman as a conceal carry or home protection piece for close quarters room to room engagement without hitting your next door neighbors home if they live in close proximity like urban neighborhoods. The pistol has style, and sex appeal and is a gentlemen's or ladies pistol if dressed up for dinner in a suit or tux or a dress and want to conceal carry recommend the duo tone for the gents with the tux and nickel finish for the ladies in this scenario lol

Best .380 for the buck!
Review by TriggerJunkie on 9/17/2014

I bought this pistol for the Mrs. b/c she didn't like the snubby .38spl. It is an excellent CCW pistol. The SA/DA trigger is really quite good. Better than a Walther's, which this is based on, PLUS it is more ACCURATE and CHEAPER than the Walther PPK! Magazines aren't easy to come by though, which is the only draw-back to this gun.

My wife, at 10-yards, can put 8 rounds in a 1" hole with it.

Get this gun!
