I'm waiting for my phone to upload a pick of the 2 guns stacked on top of each other and when that is done I post it. Not a pocket gun, maybe a bit too large to consider it a 'kit gun' but if pocket carry isn't a concern than the MK deserves a look. Even the Talo special was only $20 more than the cheapest Bersa's by the time you have to buy the extra mag (Ruger comes with 2) and basic 22/45 are actually cheaper. The MK's ARE better guns and not much larger. Specifically a Talo MKIII 22/45 with a 4.5' slabside barrel. The Bersa didn't fill my role as a 'kit gun' for the reasons above so I kept looking. Some are recommending the Ruger SR and I wish they were available when I bought my Bersa for I would of gone that route. It's trigger isn't great and it's hard to shoot accurately (When done right it can be accurate though). Even after hundreds of rounds mine still prefers MiniMags and balks at Fed.

Same basic function is where the similarities end.īeing said, the Bersa isn't perfect. Comparing the HP to the Bersa is like comparing a Heritage SA to a Single-Six. Not even in the same class, Bersa hands down in EVERY category. no, it is NOT a ruger,browning etc, it is not trying to be! accept it for what it IS, a fun little inexpensive( NOT CHEAP) plinker.:bthumb: :AR15firin the phoenix is what it is, a decent quality. at short range whic is what this pistol is intended for.eally like the looks of the satin silver finish, i have seen some with silver/black parts mixed, it does look very good. very trying, YES!! i have the 5' on mine now, but the pistol seems to be just as accurate for me with the 3'. i agree about taking it down to clean/swap is NOT as easy as you think it will be! the factory instructions work the best, IE using your extra barrel to hold the spring in place to re assemble. i just keep replacement factory parts to put back in if i ever have to get warranty work done. Click to y youtube for these simple mods, they really make it easier to use and STILL SAFE, just not so complicated to use.
