Bersa Firestorm 22

I haven't seen any mention of the fine Firestorm auto 22. When I bought mine new, I was (at first) very disappointed when shells stayed in the barrel. I carried a smooth aluminum rod to "poke" the shells out. I took the gun back to the dealer I bought it from. He loaded the clip then rapidly worked the slide. Jam after jam! He stripped the gun & quickly identified, the recess for the head of the shell, in the slide, was too shallow for the ejector to grab the head of the shell. I was shocked when he opened his showcase & said "how about a new gun?" The Bersa Warranty is that good! The warranty is LIFETIME! The new gun is a joy to shoot! It loads & shoots flawlessly! I am VERY happy with it. It fits my hand like it was made for it!

I picked up a slightly used bersa firestorm 22 last month for 275 . The first time out with it I was using fedral bulk from walmart and all it did was jam.A little research on the net and I found out it does not like that ammo. I switched to remington and it is flawless and a hoot to shoot.
