I'm a big fan of double-muffing new shooters with plugs and muffs. <BR/><BR/>But they need to hear range commands for safety's sake. <BR/><BR/>No problem. Put electronic muffs on the newbie, turned up full blast, over the ear plugs.Matt Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03500429239798601210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32278169577563552.post-12549499142468324402008-07-15T19:41:14.827-04:002008-07-15T19:41:14.827-04:00Breda,<BR/><BR/>Ok, the range report on the Bersa .380...<BR/>Put 50 rds of CCI cheap ammo through it.<BR/> One failure to feed, one failure to go into battery. However, it's new and the ammo was not the best, so I'll reserve judgement on it. <BR/> Firing the Bersa actually hurt the web of my hand between the fingers and thumb at times, something I have not experienced before with .22, .38, 9mm or .45. That could have to do with my grip, though. As far as accuracy...kinda depressing. While about 95% of my rounds were on the target area, the rounds on target were all over it!! That was true with the .22 and 9mm I was shooting as well. The 9mm is DAO but the accuracy was similar two the two other pistols. Oh, well, it's an excuse for more range time!!

Thanks for the pictures and adding one more person to the rolls of people that don't believe guns are evil - just some louder and more uncomfortable than others. One person at a time, folks!
