bersa 380 carry condition

striker55 · Post by **striker55** » Thu Aug 30, 2007 10:37 am

How would you carry the bersa 380? One in the chamber with safety (decocker) on or none in the chamber? Opinions please.

Striker, you asked for opinion and this is mine.

Load it or leave it home. There is no "time out".

Well I have a little P3AT with no safety with a round in the chamber but it is in a pocket holster that covers the trigger that is my bug gun.
And my #1 carry is a 357 mag revolver no safety that fully loaded.

What ever a person is comfortable with as for not having one in the chamber well if you have the gun on you its better then nothing at all, I mean maybe you have time to load up and maybe not.

I'll save +3 for her.

Make me plus +4

I have a Bersa .380 and a P3AT that I carry loaded and chamberd if I have to carry them. They are my last choice for carry though. I carry them only if the occassion does not allow me to carry on of my 1911's

. Otherwise one of them sits in my center console where if needed it would probably be very close range.

My dad and I both carry with one chambered I leave the safety off he leaves it on. I dont want to be messing around to turn a safety off though JMO.

MY mom has her Bersa 380 chambered and safety off. There are many scenarios where U will be lucky just to get the gun out - don't carry a semi auto unchambered. And, leaving the safety on, unless it is maybe a 1911) is a bad idea.

I believe you should carry it the way you feel most comfortable with, BUT which ever way - practice getting it out and on target until it is muscle memory!

I have a 1911 but how do you conceal it here in TX, shorts and t-shirt? That's why I'm leaning towards my 380, smaller to conceal.

That's the way I do it (shorts & a t-shirt, I mean).

I use canvas cargo shorts (like the 511s or any decent hiking shorts) with a belt from thebeltman.net and an Answer from Tucker Gunleather. I put that on & wear a t-shirt one size larger than normal over it untucked.

My opinion is:

It's a double action trigger on the first shot. Leave the "Decocker" off so there is no delay when you need it most.
