First off, I can\'t say enough about Bud\'s. I placed the order for this pistol at 10:30 am on Thursday, May 12. On Friday, May 13, I got a call from my FFL at 1 pm saying that my pistol had arrived. I thought that had to be a mistake, but sure enough, there it was! And I didn\'t pay extra for expedited shipping or anything -- it just got there the very next day. I was blown away. Bud\'s is the best!

On to the pistol itself. I looked it over at the FFL and it seemed fine, wrapped in plastic with a removable tag on the trigger guard, a little bit of dirt on the inside near the feed ramp, and just one small nick on the slide itself. I signed for the gun and took it home and field stripped it and I was shocked: this gun was DIRTY inside. I mean, really dirty -- more than just packing grease or cosmoline. It took a very very thorough cleaning to get the gun ready for use. Several barrel patches came out very dirty, and I started to suspect it might be a used gun. But Bud\'s responded quickly when I raised that question and verified by the serial number it was brand new and had been received from Bersa manufacturing only a week earlier. So bear that in mind if you order one.

I really like the weight and the look of this gun. Feels very solid in my hand, and I like the function of the safety/decocker. But I was very disappointed with how it shot, using several different types of 9mm ball ammo. The sights are quite off, low and to the right, and consistency was very troublesome. The bottom of the front sight has to be aligned with the top of the rear sight in order to shoot level. This is apparently a common problem with this pistol, as a quick google search will reveal. I am by no means a great shot, but I had several others try it with the same issues. Disappointing. I will be trading it for something else.
