Bersa trigger

[Dragunov]

I have a Bersa firestorm .380. The trigger pull is actually pretty good, not real heavy.

However......

The length of pull is unacceptable and would like to reduce it by about half. Does anyone know of a gunsmith in the Sac area who would do this?

Thanx!

Anyone interested in answering??

I'm not sure that what you're asking to have done is even possible. How would you go about cutting the double-action trigger pull in half? The trigger pull is that long for a reason. I'm sure you'd be able to shorten it up a little, but cutting it in half is pretty extreme.

Any reduction would be helpful, Just wondering if there 's anyone around here that can do it. It's too easy to "slap" the trigger.

If you're planning of using it for self defense and you actually end up using it in a life threatening situation then the prosecution attorneys will have a fiesta on you once they found out the trigger weight was lightened from factory stock configuration. Depending on the shooting situation and how good your lawyers are, it may weight heavily in branding you as an itchy trigger finger and be prosecuted for 3rd or 2nd degree murder.

Hmm, if I ever use my pistol for self defense I intend to let the jury know I MEANT to shoot the perpetrator; because he was posing an immediate deadly threat to myself or a loved one. The modified trigger pull argument doesn't hold any weight when you deliberately meant to defend yourself and the pistol didnt go off as a result of a ND.

As far as the OP's question, (who waited a whole 1 minute before wonderring in his second post why no one had responded yet) yes, the single action pull length could be reduced, but most likely not the double action pull length without extensive modifications by a gun smith. I don't know any of the gunsmiths in Sacrament but I'd look in the yellow pages to start if no one has a recommendation.

That sounds to me even more like you just wanted someone to shoot and didn't bother to make sure the guy was actually dangerous(by California standards) first.

Actually, if you look closer at the time stamp, he waited 12 hours and one minute.

Sorry OP, the only gunsmith I know of is here in Concord.

Uhm, whatever. How you get that from "I intend to let the jury know I MEANT to shoot the perpetrator; because he was posing an immediate deadly threat to myself or a loved one." is somewhat beyond me.

I'm not apologizing for an improved trigger pull or night sights or self defense training courses and concealed weapons law courses I've attended or ammunition I've expended practicing or the type of rounds I carry, for that matter, if I get into a defensive shooting.

If I pull my pistol it will be with the intent of shooting and stopping the perpetrator for just cause and god willing I'll prevail. It will not be because I foolishly brandished a weapon needlessly and "accidentally" shot someone due to a lightened trigger pull.

And for people that think I'm just loooking for someone to shoot I"d offer my 30 year history of having a CCW permit in CA without needing to draw my pistol and shoot anyone as a defense to that spurious charge.

My apologies to the OP for not noting the 12 hour and one minute elapsed time between your first two posts in this thread.

Redcliff, No prob. If you don't look carefully you might think I only waited a minute.

Thanx everyone.
