I've been looking around for a carry piece and last week I went and got one of these from Sooner in Norman.
I like it. I managed to get to the range this weekend and try it out. I posted my report over at BersaChat and thought I'd leave it here too.
The first thing I had to do was find some ammo. Through some searching, trading, dealing, and an OSA hookup, I put together the following lot:
These 380s are a bit funny looking. Since I didn't feel like the 45min drive to Banner, I went to Safety 1st.....as such, disregard the steel.

So...I set up some paper at 5yds and went through about 100rds of 9mm from my G19 to make sure I was able to hit what I was aiming at. I then patched things up and went at it with the Bersa - two 5rd mags at each target for a total of 10rds.
5YDS:
Patched things up again, pushed back to 7.5yds, and went through the same series.
7.5YDS:
Hung some new paper, pushed back to 10yds and fired off 5 full mags.
40RDS @ 10YDS:
VERDICT: After 130rds I'm kind of surprised how much I like this gun. Recoil is nothing to speak of and it insanely more comfortable to shoot than my old PF9. The sights are very shallow on the CC version...really makes you focus on the front sight. I got more comfortable with them as I shot. And it's accurate when I do my part. I had some flyers in there but it was my first time out with the new gun....oh well, more practice. Definitely a keeper.
