Sorry about YABTTT (Yet Another Bersa Thunder Three-Eighty Thread)
I'm pretty new to handguns. I recently bought a Bersa .380 and a Glock 19 (both NIB) and went out to my brother-in-law's farm to break them in and see how well I can shoot without training or practice (turns out I can hit the broad side of a barn!)
To make a long story short:
We put 200 rounds through the G19 without a hiccup. I was fairly accurate with it, putting all 10 rounds of a mag into an 8" target at about 15 yds, most of them near the center.
I also put 50 rounds through the Bersa. Again, no failures, but it seemed to be hitting at least a foot directly below my POA! The rear sights appear to be adjustable for windage, but not height. My sight picture was with the tops of the sights even and just below my POA; I tried with the front-sight dot covering my POA and I was still way low! The single-action trigger is pretty sweet and I'm fairly sure it wasn't my fault, since I was shooting so well with the Glock.
What could be the cause of this? I've heard that the Bersa is a pretty accurate piece. Horizontally it was pretty good, but it seems to be vertically-challenged.
Maybe I can black out the dots and file the front sight down.
