Thoughts on the Bersa 380 Model 86

[Rowe]

Hey everyone!
I just purchased a Bersa Model 86 and I am extremely excited about it! While I wait for it to arrive at my FFL (from WA!) I'm looking to learn a bit more about it. Does anyone on here own one? Love it? Hate it? Let me know! I've been scouring the web with very little success.

Don't know if you had found this site yet but it is the Bersa owners site of FAQ. I have a Bersa Thunder 380 that has been reliable and and very enjoyable to shoot. I haven't used any of the earlier models but have mixed reactions to the earlier models. Shoot it and if it is reliable for several hundred rounds, with hardball and defensive ammo. I would recommend Critical Defense just because it has worked with other picky feeding firearms I have owned.

Thanks Dave, I've seen their website before and they have some solid info. I know iv heard mixed reviews on the 85/86 models, that's why I was hoping to hear directly from some owners on here. I didn't realize how rare they were.
