The single action trigger pull is about as good as it gets on a production gun. It is glass smooth, right up to the point where it breaks. But although long, the pull is extremely smooth, with no stacking or stepping. Short, light trigger pulls are an invitation to an accidental discharge. But then I prefer that in a defensive gun. The double action trigger pull is long and heavier than some will like, coming in at around 10 pounds. About what you expect on a production gun. There is a small amount of play between the slide and the frame.

This is primarily due to the full length guide rails on both frame and slide, which I really like. The slide action is very smooth, right out of the box. In fact, the first thing my son said when I showed him the gun was "Wow, I really like that grip". I don't have large hands, so many double stack frames feel bulky to me. This is one of the most comfortable guns I've ever held. This is a good time to mention that the first thing you notice when you pick the gun up is how comfortable the grips are. Deep V grooves are cut vertically into the front of the grip, providing a very secure, yet comfortable grip. You'll note that the frame provides a 2 1/2 fingers, with the 3rd finger completed by a magazine extension. The front of the grip is alloy, with finger contours. The stippling is deep enough to provide a slip proof grip, yet not so deep as to be abrasive, as with some guns I've seen. The polymer grips are stippled in a diamond pattern on the sides and the back strap. The grips are a one piece molded polymer unit which wrap around the frame from the rear. I don't ever expect to have to do a combat reload, but I hate guns that make you pull the magazine out, like my Kahr CM9.

In fact, watch those toes when ejecting a magazine. When released, the magazines drop out quickly. Once inserted, the magazine locks firmly into place with a positive snap.

The magazines slide easily into the gun, with only a slight resistance from the magazine lock. And although the magazine release is mounted on the left side, the gun is designed so that it can be switched to either side in seconds, using a small screwdriver. The magazines are typical double stack configuration, with a 13+1 capacity. The gun has an external extractor, and there is a loaded chamber indicator at the top rear of the ejection port, which sticks up when a round is chambered. They are steel Sig type, both mounted in dovetail cutouts in the smoothly rounded top of the frame. Both are easily accessible with your thumb, while maintaining a natural grip on the gun. And speaking of the slide release and de-cocking lever, I really like their placement. According to Bersa, it is perfectly OK to use the lever to release the slide on this gun. And before any of the purists out there call for my lynching, yes, Bersa calls it a slide release, not a slide stop. Lefties will note that both the slide release and the de-cocking lever are fully ambidextrous. The action is double/single action, with a frame mounted docking lever.
