I've had a couple of Bersa .380's and they were suprisingly accurate and reliable for the money. Has anyone had a hands-on experience with the new .45? This is on my list of possibilities for a concealed carry weapon along with a compact 10mm. My S&W model 645 in .45 acp is too large for this purpose. I've never heard anything bad about Bersa pistols and there are much better made pistols in todays market, but for under $300.00, think they are hard to beat. http://www.bersa-llama.com/bersa_about.html
