MAKE "SPECIAL" for 300 Sub-sonic -AND- ur particular bl. Length! This co. makes the sub-sonic stuff for MILITARY via govt Contract! ESPECIALLY EFFECTIVE! EXTREMELY accurate (verified). Other "%#@$" crap I seen/used? ALL (except one)...
OPPS: Abt AMMO - yeh, agree, ur prob right. wuld make sense, anyway. ALTHO! I WAS told -by a reliable source I trust - that HE had talked to their Home ofc - And REPAIR CTR's BOTH, who told HIM that yes, the BERSA *CAN* handle modest amounts of +P - with no probs. SO. Hv been doing jsut...
PS: GAZAWAY... great guy! EXTREMELY Talented gunworker! Extremely capable shop, except: SO BACKLOGGED with contracts these days - doesnt hv time to barely answer the ph., much less... ashame. PErsonally: I'd try the others first.
MYRON (up 316, in WILDER, GA) http://aces8scustomguns.com/contact-us.html 678-557-5763. Worked on my VEPR. INCREDIBLE WORK - if he'll take it on! Can do anything metal! SLOW tho... takes his time, for sure. Make him commit to a return date!

HAve 2 BERSA THUNDER .380's... BOTH Standard 7rd. MAG Models (Plus) - NOT the CC Model. Have been shooting them regularly - for years now (as has my wife, and a friend who also has one). LOVE IT! Lousy Trigger - but GREAT GUN otherwise! Certainly: BEST VALUE FOR THE $$$!!
