Bersa .380 ACP model 85 Nickel Wood 14 Shot Beretta 84 type Double Action 1994 Production No Lock

We’re well into our fifth decade selling Bersa Pistols, and their quality has never disappointed our local customers. Here is Bersa’s first high capacity pistol, the model 85. Production ran from 1988 until 1994 on this variant. From this specimen’s 298000 range serial number, it was manufactured in 1994, final Year of Production. Manufacturer was Bersa S.A. of Raos Mejia, Argentina. Recent importer Century Arms is marked on the right side. It originally shipped to the Land of Israel where it served with the Israeli Civilian Police, the Mishteret Y'Israel, in Jerusalem District. Type is hammer fired blowback semi automatic compact pistol. Construction is entirely steel metal, with stippled surface Argentine hardwood grip panels. Barrel is 3 1/2 inch with six groove 1:10 right hand twist rifling. Slide is rounded steel, with serrated rear laterals. Sights are black stake on small partridge front, lateral serration rib, and dovetailed, windage adjustable rear with steel black blade insert. Trigger is .350 serrated face with overtravel stop; and hammer is .295 Beretta type. Double action pull is smooth and consistent 12 pound vicinity, with a two stage single action 4 3/4 pound pull with moderate felt creep. This Bersa has a firing pin block safety, and a manual safety / decocker. Chambering is .380 ACP caliber; this 85 comes with its original pre-Ban 13 round factory magazine. Fully loaded capacity is 13 + 1 rounds. 85 Magazines will Not interchange with Thunder 380 Magazines or with Beretta or Browning BDA Pistol magazine unless they are modified. Its feel, its ergonomics, approaches a Beretta 85. Overall length is 6 5/8 inches from muzzle to grip frame strut; height is 4 1/2 inches; slide thickness is .865 at the ejection port; and maximum grip thickness is 1.35 inches. Weight empty is 22 ounces, with center of gravity at the magazine release. Finish is entirely Satin Nickel. Surface detractions on this 85 are moderate, principally edge wear and scouring on the upper grip panels. We rate it as Very Good, 80 to 85 percent vicinity by our estimate. Photos, at any rate, ought to suffice for our distinguished shoppers to judge finish grade for themselves. Bore, chamber, and mechanism are all bright and clean. We estimate this pistol has been fired fewer than 300 times. This little used 23 year old pistol is attractive, eminently serviceable, and even collectable. We’re offering the 1994 Bersa 85 in the photos for only $ 289.00. Not transferable to civilian residents of California, the District of Colombia, or Massachusetts. Any ammunition or personnel in our photos are Not included. For civilian buyers in Connecticut, District of Colombia, Hawaii, Maryland, or New York, $20 off but no magazines. Magazines are NOT readily available for this model. Professional gunsmiths can modify a Beretta 84 magazine and make it work, only if they are willing to do so. Add any number of modified Mec-Gar 13rd magazines to fit the Bersa 85 / 86 pistol for $39.00 each.
