Hey guys, not trying to start a squabble here, but wanted some objective opinions. Personal experiences preferred....

That said, is Bersa any good? I have never so much as handled one, let alone shot or maintained one. My friend was given a recommendation by a local dealer, and wants my opinion. I can't give him an informed opinion, but you guys can. He wants a pistol for his wife, and was told the Bersa 380 would be a good choice.

My first thought was that an LC9 would be a better choice, at least caliber-wise. Anyway, as a broader question, what would you be the most likely to trust your life to in a compact, semiauto, small caliber, low priced, ladies gun? I use the term in reverence to all....Please don't barbecue me....
