BERSA recommends the use of only newly manufactured ammunition meeting SAAMI (www.saami.org) and/ or NATO specifications.
SAAMI = Sporting Arms and Ammunitions Manufacturers Institute. For information on their regulations or to see if your ammunition selection is SAAMI compliant, please go to http://www.saami.org.
We recommend a service interval of once per year or every 5,000 rounds whichever comes first. This keeps your pistol in top operational readiness and is the same standard we recommend to all our law enforcement customers.
Adding after-market parts or accessories to your pistol could be unsafe, result in failure and may void your warranty. Please contact Customer Service before adding any non-OEM part or accessory to your gun.
Lock back issues can be due to a variety of reasons. Below there are a few reasons listed for you to check: Be sure the inside of the magazines are thoroughly cleaned of any grease or lubricant. Be sure the gun has been cleaned and has plenty of lubrication on the slide/frame rails, outside of barrel and the hammer/spring assy. Some guns benefit from a break-in period – give the gun a few hundred rounds to break in and work smoothly. Try different ammunition. If the lower powered ammo is used in a new gun, it may cause feeding, extraction and lock back issues until the springs are broken in. Do all the magazines have the same result? Check your hold to be sure your thumb is not contacting the slide catch lever. A weak hold (“limp wristing”) can result in cycle / lock-back issues. Does the slide lock back manually with an empty mag inserted? If so, it is most likely due to one of the tips above.
It is safe to dry-fire our center fire pistols. You would want to use a snap cap or plug if extensive dry-firing is done. Always count your dry-firing in your live fire count to be sure all springs and pins are in top condition.
