ANYBODY heard ANYTHING about the Bersa Mini 9mm?

I didn't even know this pistol existed until I visited the website. What do you guys think about this gun, if you have experience with it? Is it as good a gun as it's .380 counterpart?

Its mechanically the same as the fullsize that was produced and was not imported anymore after the ban. They didnt want to neuter the gun and sell it....gotta give them credit. My dad has a fullsize and honestly, it shoots like my CZ's. I have seen the mini, but havent shot one...I have read good things (shocking, huh?)
and have a tendency to believe everything I have read, given the good gun my old man has.......dont discount it as you may like it alot. Shoot well

The exact same gun (in blue at this time) is being sold as the FireStorm Mini9 in the US. It is made by Bersa and is the same gun sold under their name around the world. I have 2. They are going for low to mid $300s.

Do a search for it here for more info.
