True confessions moment:
Although I do not like the Bersa, and most crude guns, I am "guilty" of ownership of a Soviet TT33. The gun is crude but sturdy. Further, the surplus ammo is cheap and fun to shoot.
I love bottleneck cartridges and the 7.62 round is LOUD and super fast. Strictly a plinking gun.
Would I ever carry the TT33? Not on my life.
