First gun

[Drako]

I've been meaning to post this for a bit.

I've been a gin owner for a whole week now.

(pardon the newb excitement, I've been wanting this for quite a while now)

So for my birthday I finally went out with my st friend, Mrs LoriW, and took the plunge.

I came home with a Bursa 380!! I am so stoked to get my LTCH and some practice with my very own gun.

My excitement is bursting tonight....had to share with someone that didn't go "but why.....?" when I talk about this kind of thing.

Here it is:

Now, go shoot the crap out of it

Nice buy! Local shop says they are great guns....my brother loves his PPKs

 

[LANShark42]

I've always liked the looks of those. Congrats and enjoy!

Congratulations on your first gun. I don't own a Bersa but have read good things on them and I have handled them and they feel great.

 

[No2rdame]

You never forget your first one. Congrats.

 

[kalboy]

Good for you, congrats! Enjoy safely your new firearm and happy shooting!

Bersa, the poor man's PPK

Went shooting with some LEO a few years back and my Bersa performed even better than his much more expensive PPK.

Be proud and shoot safe...

Congrats on the purchase, enjoy it!

Congrats and since no one warned you buying a gun is an addiction so it may be your first but wont be your last I went from 2 guns to 6 in the last 2 months and working on adding more

Congrats Drako. I have a Bersa Thunder and am very happy with it. Since this is your first gun make sure you clean it well before you use it the first time. They are shipped with a protective "grease" rather than oiled parts. This is great for preventing rust while it's on the store shelf but will not give you good performance at the range. Also, there are several Bersa chat forums where you can learn a lot about the specifics of your gun. I frequent bersachat.com. They're a friendly bunch of people. Oh, and don't be discouraged by people like Excalibur and their ignorant comments. You made a good purchase. Enjoy it!

Ignorant comment.

Bersa, the poor man's PPK

Absolutely ridiculous comment.
I have a Bersa. I for one am very happy with it. I could also afford to walk into a store and buy a PPK, or Kimber, or even both, but I would not hesitate to buy another Bersa.

I love my two. Remember you can get great warranty work in Indiana now also.

Always good to have a new gun owner. I remember when I first really started getting into shooting a few years ago. I had owned guns before but never really went and shot them regularly. Now I am addicted. The safe that I thought was huge when I bought it is now overflowing and I have to keep my ammo in a closet. Enjoy your new addiction.

Congrats on the Bersa purchase! I have an older Model 97(my 1st gun), and last August I bought a new .380 Thunder DuoTone. Great shooters both! Heard from more than one source Bersa is one of the most under-rated guns on the market. Enjoy yours!

Congrats!

Congrats on the first gun. From my experience, the Bersa 380 has a very solid feel and shoots well, so you should enjoy it. Check out Bersa Chat Forum

I have owned a Bersa for a few years and its a nice firearm. Hard to beat the quality for the price. Enjoy and welcome to the club, I am sure there will be more to follow

 

[Drako]

Thanks everyone. :-)

I have read that. And in fact while I was looking I added 2 to my "want list"

Absolutely ridiculous comment.

I'm happy with the purchase. Regardless of the brand, the gun felt right in my hand. Besides, I may not be a man, but I could possibly fall in the "poor" category, depending on where your budgeting standards lie. ;-)

They were out of ammo when I bought the gun. I have some ammo now but I still drop in various stores that I know carry it to peak sometimes.
