Looking for 'feed back' from a Bursa .380 Plus compact owner.
Likes, dis-likes, problems, what to look at when purchasing.
That sort of thing.
On paper it looks pretty good.
What are your experience's with them?
Thanks!

if it has adjustable rear sight on it, be careful NOT to lose the adjustment screw or you will be screwed!
Watch where you hold your left thumb when firing, i have a scar from slide bite.

No other problems, but i traded mine for a heritage 22/22mag revolver.
I miss my Bersa though. Nice concealed carry Packing gun for on the bikes.

when you get to the range to sight it in, make sure to bring a tiny tube of blue thread lock with you.
Remove rear sight screw and with a toothpick, dab only a tiny tiny dot on the screw and put it back in the sight base.
Adjust the windage close as you can and then start to zero it in, after zeroing let it sit overnight and the screw will never come out on its oen like mine did, they are a ***** to find replacements.

I own a Bersa and a keltec 93at and I really like both. The Bersa is the gun that my wife shoots the most. It is pretty big compared to some other 380's but still not that bad. Another issue is the price of mags. I do like it quite a bit. It fires well and seems to shoot pretty solid groups. There is almost no recoil and the grips are decent(pretty meaty for a 380). I don't think you will regret owning one. I used to carry the Bersa but now I have replaced it with the P3AT for everyday carry.
