 :) about 15 years ago my wife had a bersa that was not very good, it ripped pieces out of the brass, stovepiped on each mag, not  accurate. she got rid of it and bought a revolver. I shot it maybe 20 times so I really know nothing about it, all I know is she did not. that said that was a long time ago they  may not even make that model anymore??

Sounds like she had a screwed up gun, I would have sent it in for repair or replacement.
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.

I looked at a few more guns today and came to the conclusion that I need a good full size and a compact.  Thanks for the replies guys

I carry a S&W 642 most of the time. Simple, light, and very concealable.



I have a couple of others but as far as CCW goes the 642 is pretty hard to beat IMO

I'm a J frame fan as well, I routinely carry a 638.

+1 on the Bersa Thunder 9 UC. I've put about 1800 rounds through mine with nary a hiccup. Dependability and accuracy are both very good. I get about 3" offhand at 10 yards, and about the same from a rest at 25 yards, which is plenty good for my purposes. I think the weak link is my aging eyes more than the pistol. The sights are unusual but effective. There is a white front dot and a white outline fixed rear.

There are better choices for concealability though. This pistol is a chunk.

I won't bad talk someone else's choice of carry weapon. What I have found to be valid is if you plan on Conceal Carry with a full frame weapon it will take you some time to find the "correct" carry holster that fits your body and how you plan on using it. It may take multiple holsters depending on what you wear or choice of location at a given time. I know allot of people that carry full frame semi-autos (Kimbers, Glocks, XD, etc..) every day and do so comfortably, the kicker is no two people carry the same way. Is it easier to conceal a smaller weapon? Of course.
If you like the way the Bersa shoots and the weapon fits your body, then by all means you should carry that.
I grew up so to speak shooting M19A1s. When they forced us to move to the Beretta's I hated it. There was nothing wrong with the Beretta's, I was just not what I was use to.
So what I am trying to say....decide which weapon you want or can afford and that fits you, then determine how you wish to carry.
I use three different carry holsters, IWB, Serpa, Tactical leg depending on what I am doing.
Only 2 defining forces sacrificed themselves for you:
The American Soldier and Jesus Christ. One died for your freedom, the other for your soul.

My rock,
He trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle.
