Magazines for DA Firestorm

Commygun · November 15, 2000, 08:01 PM

I just bought a 40 S&W Mini-Firestorm. It's
a scaled down version of the Bersa Thunder 9
which itself was based on the Walther P-88.
It seems like a geat buy for $269. One problem though. It only comes with one magazine and I've been unable to locate a
source for extras. Any suggestions? Thanks.

HEY! I just got a Mini too (this past weekend). 9mm though. (Also have a Thunder 9 and a P-88. Like the design although the 88 is a bit picky on ammo as it is a very tight (low tolerance) gun. The Bersa is a little looser and works great.) Mine also only came with one mag. I e-mailed SGS and the reply I got was : "We have mags in stock. $49.95 + $3.00 S&H. 732-493-0302."

Thought it was overpriced so haven't bought any. Haven't checked to see if Bersa mags fit yet (my gun safe is at my parents' house). Looked at CDNN and other places but no luck. The dealer I got it from said he had extra mags for $35/$40 but wasn't really definite about the price (was at a gun show and not his shop). Got the Mini for $250. Plan on getting another if this one shoots well. Hopefully, concealed carry will pass soon in OH. I might use one of these instead of an Astra A-75.
