After allot of research and finally deciding to add a Bersa 380 to my current collection, I am stumped. I am looking for some experienced guidance as to how to eliminate a jam. The weapon was purchased used and in great shape. It came with one factory magazine. I have put about 250 rounds through it and love the feel and accuracy. Have been using WWB ammo. It seems that each time I reload and fire the magazine the 7th or last shell causes a jam. Has anyone else experienced this last shell jamming issue in the past? Could it be the Magazine spring being compressed from previous owners, and loosing its "umph" to raise the last shell to proper height? If you think its the Magazine can I fix it myself? Thanks for any ideas you can present.
...I shot another 60 rounds Friday night swapping between the original Bersa mag...and a new Bersa mag...Anyway -- flawless. Not a single FTF, FTE, etc...I really paid attention to my grip and shooting process. I shot quite accurately -- at least for me. I'm feeling much better now. Maybe it was just break-in / ammo / grip issues. [emphasis added]
Go to Bersa Chat. In spite of what someone else said these are very friendly and helpful people on this forum. We all own Bersa's in all the caliber's and you can get a wealth of information here.
It is often hard to understand the problem when the gun functions correctly, and the operator does not. The hardest theing to understand or admit sometimes is that the problem is not with the machine.
It appears you've resolved your problem. But I have to say, I've been a member of the Bersa chat forum for a couple of years and I highly recommend going there for any Bersa related issues you may have. And, in my experience and opinion, I have to totally disagree with the earlier statement statement that "They are as unfriendly a bunch as there is on the web" .
