Nice!

Thanks, it's a lot more comfy in the hot summer months than my 1911

very nice , should be easy to tuck away , how does it do at the range?

tomfoolery · 06-11-2008, 05:11 AM

It shoots straight as an arrow! I am still about an inch low on DA mode...but thats all me. But i figure an inch on paper is still a great torso shot.

I have no complaints

I have the sold black "DLX" model.

do you have the rubberized grips or the hard plastic?

I like the rubberized grips TONS better.
unfortunately I don't have them but my better half has them on hers.

I also got mine for summer carry.
The only problem is that lately I've been having to wear dress clothes more often and I don't have a holster that goes with that very well..

So I'm thinking about getting a pocket gun along the lines of a ruger LCP or a beretta 3032....

What do you carry it in?

tomfoolery · 06-11-2008, 06:30 AM

I just ordered a don hume IWB open top holster for it...yesterday in fact. It is the same holster i carry my 1911 in.

My bersa has the hard plastic grips but i put a pachmayer finger groove/grip sleeve on it....feels tons better.

I carry 95gr. (i think) federal hydra-shoks....its what my neighbor gave me with the gun and after some reading and testing im happy with them.

I wear cargo pants/shorts often so it fits in my pocket nicely until the holster comes in.

Nice!!! Love those pocket guns!

I use my Beretta Tomcat the same way. Got a pocket holster for it, and keep it in the right front pocket of my cargo pants.

It also fits in an IWB I got from "High Noon", when I'm wearing other attire. It's also my carry gun for work, because it it absolutely hidden with my IWB holster. Thus, nobody has a clue.

I've got a XD9SC that I also carry concealed in an IWB, but it's a tad uncomfortable after a few hours. I usually I have that with me in winter outside on my belt under a coat or sweatshirt. In the summer, if I'm going to be in a rough part of Denver, then I'll carry the XD in an IWB holster, and the Beretta in my pocket.

Nice Bersa, my BIL has one and really likes it. I do like the SS look better than the blued one.
