Re: Movin On Up!

Went to my local Gander Mountain this afternoon to see what they had to offer. Bersa? Nope.

OK, just for kicks - Taurus TCP? Nope. Kel-Tec? Nope. Bodyguard? Nope.

Sigh.......

Re: Movin On Up!

Given that I wasn't able see a Bersa, I have to ask:

Does the 380 cc have a half-cock feature?
Does the slide stay open after the last shot?

Re: Need help identifying this gun

Either a kit or a reproduction; little if any value. Be very careful if you intend to shoot it.

Beretta 21A

What's my little Beretta 21A, 22LR, blued, average condition, worth these days as a trade-in. All my gun value books are pre-Obama and of little value now.

Re: Considering ankle carry

I could never get use to my ankle holster so I gave up. It kept flopping around and slipping down. Also, the gun gets very dirty very fast. Something no semi-auto needs.

I saw an online ad for a Bersa Concealed Carry, 380, 3.25 inch barrel. The ad indicated it was DOA. Is that a misprint or are some DOA and others DA/SA?
