Inflames

Oddly I am an HVAC tech also and own a SCCY (bought it for my girlfriend) and do not trust this gun. We are waiting for warranty parts for the safety. Her safety lever actually broke off!! The prices of the guns have dropped sence we bought ours and im guessing its because of the bad word on them, and sales not being so good.

Hello!
I was actually looking up info on the Sccy, but after reading this post I do not want one!
The good news is that the Bersa 380 was my second pistol, so I can tell you about it. Out of my collection, it sees some of the most shooting time. The only ammo it doesn't like is the Winchester whitebox bullets, which are also flat-nosed, they don't feed right. Besides that, it is 100% reliable and it's accurate enough for the job. It has a firing pin block, and a bar that wedges between the firing pin and the hammer-so I never worry about it going off. It's all metal so it's strong, but it's also light. I really don't have anything bad to say about it, but it's very interesting the bang for the buck you get. It also started a bit of a cult online. Check it out:

Since then, I wanted a .45 for the summer time when my 1911 would be hard to carry (especially to church ect). I liked my Bersa so much I also got their .45 Ultra Compact Pro. That one took a few boxes to break in, but I like carrying that as well. If your looking at buying a good gun at a reasonable price, you should consider the bersas. It won't be a 1911 mothership, but for a carry gun, backup or something for your wife, a Bersa is a good choice. I think someone said they didn't like the 380 caliber; just put two in the chest and one in the head and you'll be ok. Bersa also sells a costum lasor grips for their guns too =)

I hope this helped!
