Be sure to try them out if possible.
I've had two Bersas. Overall I liked everything about them, but the SA trigger was just too light.
That sounds a bit odd, but what would happen is I'd shoot the first shot DA, then recoil was enough to trigger the 2nd shot.
So every new magazine started with a double-tap, but the 2nd shot was not controlled. I wasn't really comfortable with the SA trigger anyway. I think it was probably something to do with the way the gun fit my hand, length of trigger pull or ? I probably could have overcome that with training, but as I had plenty of other choices without that issue, I just sold the pistols instead.
As I said I did this twice. The first time was when I was faily new to handgun shooting. A few years later I tried another thinking now that I was an intermediate shooter the issue would not be there. But it was.
I have not had that problem with any other pistol.

Re: Pocket carry options
I tried carrying a colt Mustang Pocketlite for a while, but it seemed too heavy, so I went back to the P3At or LCP.adam71176 wrote:If I could put a P238 in my pocket I'd buy one in a heartbeat, it's just to big (for me anyway). I have a Diamondback but I'm considering the new Karh P380 as well, but they are super hard to find.
The P238 doesn't seem to carry as big or heavy as the Colt for some reason. and sometimes I still carry the LCP.
I see K380s around DFW, but have yet to see a diamondback in the flesh.
Stopped at a small gun store outside Tyler a few weeks ago and saw a new K380 for about $550. Almost bought it.

Re: Pocket carry options
I chose p238, and I have all the usual pocket pistols.

You might also look at the new Diamondback.
It's a mini-Glock.
