Hello, would appreciate some opinions on a .380 purchase.
I am going back and forth between a Bersa .380 or a Colt Government .380...my dilema is that I really want to shoot this pistol (at the range) with some regularity and I don't know if I should spend the money on the Colt b/c it is really honestly a collectors item and the more I shoot it the more the value goes down...or so I have been told.
On the other hand I could get a Bersa, that would most likely be a great gun and definitely more affordable.
Would appreciate opinions/thoughts?
Thanks.
Well by way of update, I went ahead and purchased a Duo-Tone Bersa Thunder .380 over Christmas. I picked it up yesterday and am very pleased.
I still need to oil it up and get it out to the range, but I think it is going to be great. It really fits my hand well, which was an issue for me with most .380's. that I had looked at...Kel-tech, etc. I will be interested to see what I think about the plastic grips, I am thinking I could see myself getting some rubber grips for it.
wooddoctor - I will look at the Sig232, good to know what else is out there, I had not looked at that.
Thanks to all for the advice, it was very helpful.
The Colt would be my first choice, but if i were you I would get the Bersa, the others, LCP, TCP, Kel Tech, and that new POS, Diamond back, are ALL PROBLEMATIC, I have a little knowledge of this because I have owned or shot them all, and before anybody starts about this or that being better than the other, the Ruger has outsold the Taurus because it has been out 2 years before the Taurus, i'm sure if it were the other way around the Taurus would have sold more, in any case if you want a trouble free gun buy the Bersa
Get some good grips for the Bersa. I would skip the rubber grips, they can hang up in fabric. I have a set of Marschal grips on my 380cc that are beautiful. Marschalgrips.com
