Argentine firearms manufacturer Bersa is entering the North American concealed market with its BP 9 CC pistol, a polymer-framed lightweight semi-auto for off-duty or backup. We featured Bersa's BP 9 CC as our "Arsenal" review for April 2012. We included an exclusive photo in this gallery that didn't appear in print. Photos by Michael Hughes.
Bersa's BP 9 CC Pistol
The pistol is available with a nickel-plated (shown) or black matte steel slide.
Like many of today's service pistols, the Bersa uses a 3-dot sight system. The steel sights can be drifted for windage adjustments.
A key-activated Integral Blocking System immobilizes the sear and slide to prevent unauthorized firing.
The right side view shows the ambidextrous magazine release, Picatinny rail on the dust cover, and Integral Blocking System on the slide.
The Bersa BP 9 CC is a slim, attractive pistol. Visible here are the DAO trigger, magazine release, slide stop, finger locator pad above the trigger guard, and extended magazine base pad.
At the rear of the ejection port is a loaded chamber indicator that provides a visual and tactile indication of the pistol's condition.
