Bersa 380 cc jamming

[yqtszhj]

The above suggestions may very well solve your problem. If not, I thought of one other possibility.

Maybe the magazine springs are weak, and not getting the next round positioned in time to feed correctly. Seems more possible if your problem is often in the last round or two of a mag.

Perhaps a company like Wolf would have something that fits and is stiffer. Just a thought...

I was thinking mag springs too.

Mags perhaps. Certainly needs a feed ramp, chamber, and barrel hood clean-up/polishing. Higher quality ammunition couldn't hurt, either.

It does look dirty, and the barrel doesn't look too good..............looks like the top has a bit of damage, and the bottom is either dirty, or has a problem. No offense, but looking at this pic, the machining is just horrible.

Are you talking about the slide ware on top of the barrel? I think that's normal. Where do you see bad machining? It gets very dirty from shooting It was clean here.

I'm talking about the dent/gouge on the top edge of the barrel........................the bottom inside edge looks lousy also................................when I say that the machining is terrible, have you ever disassembled a quality firearm? Not a Bersa, or a Glock, but a quality firearm. If you have, then you will know what I'm talking about. Cheap guns are cheap for a reason. I'm not saying that there aren't some decent firearms out there, for less money..............................I'm saying, like everything else, you get what you pay for. Personally, I could never get past the weight, or the trigger, to even think about taking one apart

In another post you said your Sig jammed. Perhaps you need to look at your shooting style or grip? I have known a lot of people that have condemed gun only to be limp wristing when they shoot? A few years back I had a Para that I swore was bad only to find it was me!

^ Good thought/point. I tend to not think about/consider that in connection with .22/.32/.380 issues.

Sell it and spend more on your CCW. How about a cm9, shield or a p238, glock 42, etc

The sig was junk. It wouldn't even strip a round when you released the slide. I'm not some schmoe here.

I don't like the shield, I swore I'd never buy another sig, I don't like the 42, but yes maybe a kahr 380. My current lineup, kahr ct9, glock 22, bersa thunder, sccy cpx2.

Are you being disrespectful?

No I mean what I wrote . Get someone with a better small handgun skill set to try your problem handguns . Not a range instructor but a guy that carrys small pistols and shoots a lot . Most RO don't . My first kahr came from a certified handgun instructor that could not fire a mag full with out a stove pipe was pp.o'd and asked if anyone wanted to buy a piece of poo . It has 1600rounds thru it with zero issues for me . My daughter no CC's it . We met a few more times again and he diid shoot his old kahr well and now owns another one as a carry handgun but many smaller pistols are not friendly to less experienced shooters or simple large handgun shooters. THis RO has several 100,000 rounds fired in matchs too . I have helped several people at a public range I got to work thru issues with newer small handguns . Sometimes it the shooter . sometimes the ammo. Only seen 1 bad handgun yet in 46 years of handguns shooting and it came back in under two weeks and has been fine for years now .

This thing is junk. I fired it today then I noticed the safety lever had broken off. It broke right in half. I don't even use it so I don't know what happened.

[hardluk1]

Broke the safety ?? Or broke the decocker ?? Oh well , your a unlucky guy .

Go buy a 1911 and see how long it takes to have some kind of problem you got a write about !!
