Thinking about getting one of these for summer, always thought they were a neat lil gun, I have heard they are picky with ammo, is this true? Any other known problems with these, personal experience's ?
I picked up a Sig P938 rosewood edition also.
Well, I fully intend to purchase a Solo sometime this year, while the other subcompacts may work well, all that I have seen excepting possibly the Bersa are tupperware guns. I abhor plastic frame firearms - son and I have near 100 firearms and none have working parts of plastic. I am fully aware the plastic will work and work well for a good length of time ~ but I don't want to purchase a "limited life" firearm. I intend for the firearms I purchase to be handed down to my heirs - not purchased for my lifetime! I am willing to spend the extra for a metal frame.
The ONLY reason the poly frame was manufactured was to cut the cost of manufacturing. I just can't wrap my head around buying something like that while for a few dollars more I can buy a proven material with unlimited life. I have many firearms of wood and metal that are 75 to over 100 years old. These still function well and are not deteriorating in any way - nor should they if properly stored - for many generations.
bersa Can't fault those that consider a firearm a tool and purchase poly frames - they have a proven track record and will likely outlast the owner. I just want mine as investments for the generations to follow.
