Yesterday I went to indoor gun range at a local Sporting Goods shop. Normally I shoot outside but I just didn't feel like picking all my brass up out of the mud. I was perusing the guns counter and I decided that maybe it was time to get a Bersa 380. I checked out one of the all blue models ($319) and the first thing I noticed was the nice steel three dot adjustable sights that normally come on the Bersas have been replaced with PLASTIC fixed sights. I could forgive this, but I won't for two reasons. The front sight isn't dovetailed making replacing the sights a pain and the rear sight is one of those Glock style U monstrosities. I could live with that style of sights but if you align the sights correctly the front dot was partially obscured by the bottom of the notch so the U and dot didn't correlate correctly anyhow. Then I noticed there was a used Bersa two tone on the shelf. It had the three dot sights and a nice coat of surface rust on the top of the slide. Guess what the price tag was on that? $329! :banghead: I told him that was way too high and he just said, "I don't set the prices you'll have to talk to the boss." I told him the price shouldn't be anywhere north of $299 for a used Bersa and he says, "Not for the Duotone! We normally sell those for $475 . Yeah, right.
I'm going to order one from Bud's next week and I'll see if a different shop can take the order.
Do all the new Bersa 380s that those plastic fixed sights?
