SHOT Show Coverage

The new Bersa BP 9mm pistol is now shipping to dealers.  The Bersa BP is the first polymer-framed pistol from Bersa, and it was designed from the ground up for concealed carry.

The BP features a single stack magazine, which helps allow the pistol to be less than one inch wide.  Magazine capacity is 8, giving you nine rounds on tap before a reload.

The rest of the new pistol’s features can be seen on my previous post on the gun and in the press release below.  The BP pistol is covered by a lifetime service contract.
