I had to renew my vista to the South American Web Sites, but very glad I did
Found some more information about the upcoming new line form Bersa on my exploits, lolFinding news on this topic is a jungle, but I fired away and after the debris cleared there was a open window of what is about to come...
I found several comments about these new Bersa BP models posted in many South American Forums. I congratulate those handgun owners in Argentina and surrounding areas for their detailed information. Likewise, they are also monitoring our B.T. Forum too
Most of their comments are about the new Bersa BP line is a mirror to the Sig Sauer P250, only smaller in scale. Some say the other handguns are, but until the BP's are in hand no one knows...
Some of these forms say the new Bersa line has a "safe action" better than the G-Locks. Some there called the G-Locks, PLock (Might be the translation program got it wrong)... Also posted a magazine for a 9 HC (17+1) is able to fit a CZ models and firing with no problems. The magazine article itself, sorry but will try to add more (the lower bottom of my topic is all I could bring up). But there is more... Several comments on how this new handgun fires and other photos of targets it has hit.
This photo is from a ad magazine from South America:

I would like to post the links, but I have to protect my sources
Hope This Helps...

It had decided with Lucas Bonadimani to go to know and to prove the new pistol Turns. Lucas agreed with Bonadimani going to know and test the new Bersa pistol. While poensaba journeyed the congested Gral. Peace course to Mejía Branches how it would be this new model. While transiting the congested toward Gral Peace Mejia Branches poensaba how would this new model. Precise to 10,30, as it corresponds, I touched the timbre of the main entrance of Turns on the Magallanes street. Once installed comfortably in one of rooms of company and while we talked on the new challenge that means designing, making and to commercialize a new product, was added when char it Benso, President of the company/signature. With its characteristic average smile (that one does not know or if is of joy by verte or some other hidden reason never until now deciphered, in spite of the years I know that it) it began to tell me - together with Lucas- how was developed this new one? son. The idea began to take form does about two years, and in the last it began itself to work more deeply. Promptly AT 10,30, applicable ace, Rang the Bell of the main entrance on Street Magallanes Bersa. Eleven comfortably installed in one room of the company and ace we talked about the new challenge of the design, manufactures and market to new product, there are joined the chat Benso, president of the firm. With his trademark half-smile (that one is not sure if it is to joy to see you or some to other hidden reason to never hitherto deciphered, despite the years that I know) began to tell, along with Lucas was conceived how this new ' son.' The idea take began to shape about two years ago, and last began to work dwells deeply. Reunited with the salesmen of the EE. Meeting with vendors of EE. UU. UU. one detected that there was a demand more and more maintained in sidearms for defense and in those especially to be carried or like second weapon (? back up) for the personnel of the police and civil forces. Also was analyzed the gradual decrease in the demand of the pistols calibrates,22 LR, that during years were? battle pony? when the sales surpassed the 1,500 monthly units. We remember that the Bersa company, that already surpassed the 50 years of fecund, uninterrupted and successful trajectory, quickly began with the manufacture of,22 pistols Corto, soon,22 LR, also penetrating in the manufacture of guns reaching fame and international reputation. was found that there was an increasing demand for small arms held in defense and in individual those to sees worn on or ace second weapon (' back up') for law enforcement personnel and civilians. also discussed the gradual declines in demand of,22 LR to caliber pistols, which for years were the ' workhorse' units Rep when 1.500 salts exceeded month. That turns Recall the company, which there are already exceeded 50 years of fruitful and successful to career interruption is began with the manufactures of Short,22 pistol, then,22 LR, also making inroads in the manufactures of guns reaching international fame and popularity quickly. Soon after the line of semiautomatic in caliber,380 the ACP and some in 7,65 mm was gotten up (,32 the ACP), these last ones exported mainly to countries of the South Cone. Just in 1991 it penetrates in? leagues majors? when Parabellum sends its chambered model for popular the 9. Shortly to after there am joined the line in,380 the ACP semi-automatic and some AT 7,65 mm (,32 the ACP), to latter mainly exported to Southern Cone countries. Only in 1991 venturing into the ' majors' its when it launches model chambered for the popular 9 Parabellum. With the series Thunder and Mini Thunder they would also appear the supplies in calibers like the,40 S& The,45 W and the ACP. With the series to appear Mini Thunder Thunder and also deals in calibers like,40 S & W and,45 the ACP. These launchings made possible that the pistols Turn were acquired in great number by the Federal Police and other provincial ones, replacing the veterans Browning, Ballester Oil mill and Colt System. These releases made it possible for the Bersa pistols were purchased in large numbers by the Federal Police and to other provinces, replacing the veteran Browning, Colt Ballester Oil mill and System.
and rachilders, well, he's very,very close to BERSA (and holds his cards close to his chest) knew about the Thunder PRO. It may have been a mistake to "find" it so early because it's a long tedious process to get these things into the Country. I believe the actual delivery date was some six months longer than the projected date. Don't get me wrong, it caused a lot of chatter, but we tired of the wait. I think this time around, when it gets here we'll talk about it. The novelty has worn off.
