I JUST BOUGHT ONE .

i was just wondering from people who own one how they like it it has everything i was looking for and more and feels good in the hand also i have read some really good things about it but i dont trust other forums, because the same people who bashed on the firestorm also were saying bad things about sig and hk for being to excpensive and not worth the price lol.

this is the only forum that i have gotten actual intelligent information :thumb:

if you own one let me know what you think!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats. Always fun to buy a new Gun. :rockon: I don't own any Bersa firearms. I say take it to the range and give it a work out.

Never had a Bersa, but I checked around various gun forums and they have a decent reputation. People who have them like them.

Bottom line is, if you like it, keep it. :thumb:

Well since you bought one it doesn't matter. Over the years it has been hit or miss. I hope you got hold of the hit.

Take it out and break it in. If you can run 500 round s through it without a hitch then its a keeper. But don't freak if it FTF a few times in the begining.

That doesn't look to bad. I'm not to familiar with Bersa never owning any. I guess your mind won't be at ease until you shoot it. I don't read gun forums much since I know how opinions go there. It's like the knife forums.

I will say this. I've seen many on the forums talk about how crappy the S&W sigmas were when they came out but at the same time I've seen them put hundreds of round on target at the range with zero problems for a 300 dollar pistol. So shoot your new gun and see how it works for you. :thumb:

this is my before shooting review

i compared this gun to a lot of other guns

754

(glock 22 40 cal)

(glock 17 9mm)

757

(springfield XDM)

758

(HK USP 40 cal)

(HK P2000 compact)

756

(FNH 45)

first i will say what i like and dont about all of these

the glock 22 is probably the best feeling glock in the hands. but i dont like that fact that they do not have an external hammer or any type of safety also the slide release is very small to small and the singel action trigger pull is a little sticky.

glock 17 all the same as the 22 but not as comfortable.

springfield XDM my favorite out of these models feels the best in the hands because the grip is so long, the single action trigger pull is stiff and sticky also, i also dont like that it has no external hammer and no safety and it is not ambidextrous. although it is very easy to field strip. other then the fact that it feels great in the hands and it is easy to take apart i dont like the other features.

love the HK but this gun is not made to be comfortable it has a clanky slide and a stong but smooth trigger has a safety and decoker big slide and safety buttons. i also love the mag release on this gun out of all of them

HK P2000 compact same. grip is way to small!!!!!

FNH feels good in the hand i did not like the trigger pull on it small slide release also clanky slide

now for the bersa firestorm mini 9 pro. this gun even tho has a smaller grip still holds 13 rounds in the magazine, fits all three buttom fingers, and feels great in the hands has the smoothest slide and singel action trigger pull out of all of them, has ambidextrous features nice big slide release, safety, and a decoker, field strips faster and easier then all of them. has sights like the glock which i like, also has and internal safety and key which locks the slide, the trigger, and keeps you from being able to field strip it also another thing i like:thumb:
you can also get the bersa thunder 9 magazines for it which hold 17 rounds i will show you in a later post how to make a finger extension for it from an airsoft peace that cost 12 dollars making the handle much nicer and bigger

all around this is a great gun i am going to go shooting tomorrow and will have another review on it so keep a look out :D
