It's been a while since I last posted here, so let's fix that.
Some months ago, I finally got myself a new Bersa Thunder 380. Unlike last time there was no polishing of the aluminum feed ramp. I'm not making that mistake again.
Shooting experience has been limited so far. I have several magazines on hand, some by the factory and some by Mec-Gar. It's been smooth shooting, except it jammed on the 7 round factory magazine. I don't know if it's the magazine at fault, or the fact I haven't gotten it broken in yet. But doing some research, it looks like Bersa firearms are hit or miss on quality, and don't actually have the shining reputation for reliability that I as initially led to believe. Only time and a lot of ammo will tell, but even Tula .380 is expensive, almost twice what a box of Tula 9mm costs, so I'm tempted to sell it and let someone else sort it out.
Recently I got back to revolvers, and finally got my first Smith & Wesson. It's a model 637 and it's unbelievably fun to be handling a wheelgun once again.
