Firestorm Mini .45

Derius_T · December 2, 2004, 08:57 PM

Just shot about 200 rounds through my new toy. Very fine firearm. No jams,
no misfires, no probs at all. Easy recoil, very accurate (especially for no bench) and smooth cycling. Good trigger....a tad heavy DA.....

Emptied 4-5 clips in all out rapid fire as fast as possible also....no probs.

Seems to be great gun for the price.....

This gun is the same as the Bersa thunder? I like mine very much. Small yet effective

FireStorm is the new product of a joint venture between BERSA, and Llamah firearm companies. They got together, and created the FIRESTORM. Seems to be a really good weapon so far......

I didn't think Llama had anything to do with Bersa, except that they are imported into America by the same group.

Bersa SA is out of Buenos Aires, Argentina

Llama Fabrinor SAL is out of Vitoria Alava, Spain.

The Llama product line is all 1911 based.

The small Firestorms look almost exactly like Bersa's.

The large Firestorms look like they have Browning Hi Power origins.

But what do I know... Can't find any proof one way or the other...

I bought a firestorm .45 compact 2 yrs ago and it has been FLAWLESS with any factory ammo i put in it. i got it for $300 NIB and LOVE it. it is accurate, solid, well balanced in my hands, great looking and came with very nice grips IMHO. i wouldnt get rid of mine for anything. i am ridiculously pleased with it, especially for the price. Enjoy your new toy.

Bersa has nothing to do with Llama! Please don't insult my Bersa. I consider Llama junk, I have one in my drawer at present mini 10 shot 45 Its perfect to pratice malfuction drills, as that what it does best.

I just bought my star 45 pd the barrel is a little rusty. I have cleaned pretty good for now and but have not yet fired it. Was wondering if needed to get new barrel for it what would fit?
