Bersa Model B1911 45 ACP Review : Quality 1911, Budget Price.

[@joestosez]

You can never have enough 1911 models and brands.

[@mohawkdriver4155]

Every time I hear Bersa, I think of the Thunder.

[@JayELR7]

@@mohawkdriver4155 I used to own a Bersa tp9 duty size. Was similar to a S&W 5906 in many ways. Fit my hands better than the 5906 and was as accurate or more so.

[@georgiacarry4748]

I spoke with the guy that runs the shop in Cartersville at Shot Show back in January and he said that each of the 1911'a are hand fitted and tuned. He says they put a lot of love and passion into each one they crank out and it shows.

[@friedpork_owl]

70 series, made in the USA, quality finish. Bersa, you nailed it!

[@Superposed1963]

Thanks for pointing out Argentina's history with Colt and the 1911, Sootch! I lived in Rosario, Argentina for a time back in the early 1980s. After WWI, Argentina purchased 1911 tooling directly from Colt and opened a factory in Rosario. They hired Colt engineers to set up the tooling and began producing Sistema Colt 1911s under license from Colt. Colt actually allowed Argentina to put the name COLT on the pistol. I have a Sistema Colt made for the Argentine navy, and it is high quality. I'm glad to hear that Bersa is continuing the legacy with what appears to be a quality 1911! Keep up the good work, Sootch!

[@nicholasnissen1547]

I have 1933 government model 1911 federal policia Hartford Colt. Cool ass pistol. Sweet shooting. Was re-blued and internals polished before I got it working at a shop. Stories it could tell. Never saw sistemas come through. I couldn't pass that one up.

[@Superposed1963]

@@nicholasnissen1547 Wow! That sound like a nice one! Congrats!!

[@Xerxes1688]

True, outside of USA, only Norway and Argentina manufactured 1911 pistols with license from Colt. Norway made a WWI-pattern of 1911 with a slightly redesigned slide stop lever, and Argentina an A1 pattern of 1911, but some of the early batches were assembled with US-made parts, some even have a pre-A1 frame.

[@XxxAtlantaxxX]

This is a true answer to the 1911 industry. Other companies act like front strap checkering requires the harnessing of the power of a star for a 1911 to have it and be under $1,000. Bersa knocked this one out of the solar system. 👍🫡🇺🇸

[@kmyersupeyyp]

I agree. An entry level 1911 with front strap checkering for less than a grand? I’m going to look into this one.

[@williamryan9195]

Makers are moving up in the quality of the 1911s with tighter CNC processing. Bersa has a great team working on their products. That finish is super.

[@marknorwood7521]

Rock Island Armory make some Great 1911's at Great Prices too! Made in the Phillipines at a former Colt plant.

[@archangelmichael1978]

My first carry gun was a pawn shop Makarov... many moons ago. It was hard to find 9mm mak on a shelf back then. I switched to a Thunder .380, and eventually settled into the 9mm polymer guns. Bersa quality has gone way up over the past decade and it's even better now that they're made in the USA. This has sparked my interest. I've been looking for a 1911. Thanks for another great video, Don. We appreciate the work that you do on this channel.

[@OLIGHTARGENTINA]

Excellent review, thanks for the support to our beloved national brand now manufacturing in USA!

[@Steve-j5t]

Have the Garrison model 45acp. Only 1911.i will ever need for my life time. Nice touch though from bersa.

[@monteh842]

Access the plunger detent from the ejection port. Makes it easy. Less chance of scratching the pistol. Small punch or small screwdriver works very well.

[@miamivice966]

The Bersa TPR series is a clone of the Walther P88 series handguns not Sig. They are really underrated handguns.

[@DARTHDANSAN]

So that’s what it’s based off of . Thanks

[@jay-vd6rt]

Trp rocks and it’s very reliable ,most people have never seen one in person . I learned about them from sootch videos !

[@jasongibson8114]

I enjoy my Tpr, But not a huge fan of the trigger pull.

[@pablofortain4945]

Not a clone. Maybe "based in some way"is more accurate

[@miguelgarr576]

Bersa Is a Beretta with Walther furniture...😅

[@hettro-cv6082]

Good video! Really nice lookin 1911! I hope your family weathered the hurricane ok!

[@scottrobinson3281]

Really nice. The Molina was more like the Spanish Star with no grip safety. Argentina also made an excellent licensed version of the Hi-Power, with a heavier slide, for the police and military.

[@slygalvez35]

Very good review Mr sootch! Ty 🙏

[@MichaelSisley-fw3xr]

To me, my opinion, nobody else's, I prefer the series 70 over all others. Lots of custom 1911 guys start with a series 70 and get to work making their take on the 1911. This handgun seems like a solid gun.

[@JayELR7]

I concur: the 70 series is King of the models.

[@user-tw8ov]

Great looking handgun really pretty

[@lucky15driver]

I hope you and your family are safe with all the flooding.

[@MAN_MAN730]

Yes be safe

[@josiahwyncott7519]

Looks nicer than my cheapy Taurus 1911. A bit pricier though. The finish on that Taurus is pretty rough... But it came with all the same features.

[@mkshffr4936]

I am a big revolver guy (in more ways than one) but dagummit I want one of those beauties. I am impressed by the attention to detail. Maybe after the Blackhawk.

[@vexrich]

that's a badass gun sootch, for any price.

[@HomieJuanKenobi688]

Holly Cow......that is a nice good looking gun!

[@lanceroberthough1275]

BP 9cc phenomenal trigger excellent ergonomics

[@danijuggernaut]

The Bersa BP9cc is a nice single stack polimer subcompact pistol. BTW, about tight tolerances and reliability, the accurate famous SIG P210 had cycle problems at freezing cold enviroments.

[@cynthiakoehne7004]

lovely clouds overhead, oh yea the Bersa perfect backdrop for a great stainless 1911 clone, "yet another" still it's a Bersa and I LOVE Bersa firearms, just make mine a double stack and I'll get one!

[@voteholyk]

I carried the Thunder 380 for years as a pocket gun. I also carried it in combo with one of the Argentina 1911's in my car in case I needed more fire power. LOL.,

[@lincoln9434]

I had a bersa 380. I was at the range with the first one when the slide broke into two pieces while I was shooting it. To their credit they sent me a new one and I could not get that one to go bang three times in a row. I would buy a brick before I would own one of those guns for free

[@Patriotx-gx4ce]

I reather invest in Italian/Argentinian 1911 pistol vs overpriced US made 1911.

[@robertscotti7970]

My edc is the Plus, traded up from the CC. Traded in my older Bersa 40 S&W for the TPR9 CANT GO WRONG WITH BERSA. Dependable and priced right.

[@rubensoto2532]

So Good Weapon,

[@trevorsocia2300]

Ik they're 2 different manufacturers, but how does this compare to the SA Garrison? I've been looking at getting the Garrison because of the name, quality, and enjoy the upgrades it comes with for a very decent price, usually around the $750 mark. But now with this model.... Yeah this one is roughly $100+ more, but if this is worth the upcharge, I wouldn't have a problem with that. Thoughts?

[@jasongibson8114]

I still like the Bul armory 1911 better also cheaper. But a nice looking 1911.

[@smoke_oguwop]

Can you do a review on the Fmk g3 pls

[@northshores7319]

Good gun but a bit excessive in price on Bud's Gunshop.

[@yumyus506]

Just about any gun sold by Bud's is overpriced.

[@herman66mi83]

Decent review until You mentioned price 😮. Like you measured trigger pull lbs. however constructive suggestion put on a sled and shoot at 25 yards and is it MIM or tool Steel? For the price, I think TISAS 1911A1 tool steel “US Army” 4 lbs pull, Reproduction is 1/4 of the cost. I have Colt officers, Springfield loaded and Mil-Spec and 2 TISAS. This Bersa is an easy pass at that price plus until someone does a “torture test” I’d be concerned it didn’t even lock back on a WC magazine. Since TISAS in Turkey is making on CNC machines yet country has 65% inflation, can’t beat a great 1911A1 that I’ve even shot at match competitions with great accuracy at 25 yards.

[@Muromez2010]

10 mil version coming soon I hope 🤷‍♂️🤔😎

[@WCGwkf]

Thought this was interesting until the $800+ price point. entry kimbers and springfield 1911s go for less than that. 300 more and you're looking at a colt gold cup, something that wont drop by half in value when you buy it

[@downsouth701]

Wear around the trigger shows they didn't smooth it out that good.

[@kevmac1230]

There is a lot more obvious quality than the sub 500 buck models. It's really well made.I own a Tisas sub $400 1911 that's a very good gun, but this is in a different class.

[@BorgesyAlvarez]

@@SantiagoAriasEskapa chorros.

[@adrianotero7963]

The reason it is that price is because it is made in the USA ....and Bersa probably made a big investment in making it here ......if it was made in Argentina it would probably be the price of a Tisas ......I think they priced themselves out of the market.....I mean .....Americans love their 1911 's but a grand ? Don't think so Bersa.....

[@Sirgromulus]

Forged or cast? Any MIM parts?

[@juanestrada9567]

Forged or cast???

[@jafo808]

are the bullets hitting the target sideways? looks like

[@ryanrawlins]

That’s a lot of gun for the price

[@bh-2198]

The '70 series is also not drop safe. Nice 1911 though.

[@ancientixl]

The firing pin won't break on one as easily as a series 80 and is quite safe if dropped. The series 80 has a hole milled through the firing pin so a plunger goes through it and that is where they break. I quit counting after the sixth or seventh came back from a week to a month after being sold.

[@tking1170]

You said the finish is great, but it's already scratched off the trigger. Is that going to easily happen to the other black parts?

[@stingygunner]

I'd bet $700 the safety doesn't chew up the plunger tube like Springfield Garrison does..

[@cynthiakoehne7004]

Bersa means "bide your time"

[@ExcitedBonsaiTree-jz7js]

I'm not a 1911 fan but that damn gun is pretty

[@TheNEWTECHMEDIA]

How you doing with the Floods? I hope everyone is OK

[@adrianotero7963]

Argentina may have a tradition with 1911 pistols, but Bersa was not remotely involved in producing them.......in fact Argentina adopted the 1911 a few years after the USA did.....Colt was originally the supplier and then struck a deal with the government to produce them in Argentina...... the military arms factory took over production....to imply that Bersa has any experience making 1911's just because Argentina used them for many years is misleading, and confusing.

[@williamclark755]

I do not like dual safety levers, other than that nice!🦅🇺🇸

I'm an old glock fan boy who has wondered why a 100+ year old design, made by hundreds of companies, still seem to produce "junk" under $500 (Rock Island) but "good" for around 1000, but great for $2000. Even upgrading everything on a Glock puts me around $800-900. I have never owned a 1911 just for this reason. I read reviews trashing brands around a new Glock price, and praising those running 400% more...what's the point for 8 rounds???

[@Zzero5728]

I think 1911 syndicate has a video that answers that very question…

[@SL-ed4vg]

Well, some men prefer blonde while others prefer a brunette. I date both and depending on the occassion, which l'll take out on a date. Yes, my brunette might not be as reliable as my blonde but she sure is much sexier!

[@truckr74]

If you’re a Glock fan boy that will never own a 1911, why did you watch this video and comment on it?

[@MichaelKMorris]

@truckr74 looking for an answer...didn't say I would never, I said I have never...sit closer.

[@PatternRecognitionMusic]

Upgrading everything on a Glock still leaves you with a Glock with terrible ergonomics, and the best trigger you can get on a Glock will never compare to a truly good trigger on any other platform.
