I was planning on buying myself a birthday present of a .380 CC & a .22 lr Thunder. I had a question about parts interchangeability so I spoke to a guy in TX that does Bersa's warranty work. (Bersa didn't have the answer)
He said if you don't stiff arm it when you pull the trigger the slide won't travel all the way to the rear & I'll get stovepipes or FTF because it's a blow back design. Because of a disability I can't hold my arms straight out in front of me unless I'm shooting off a rest so I'd like to know if he's right. When I target practice with my Sig Mosquito I just point & shoot but don't have that problem & it's a blow back gun. I have a couple of Rugers (LCP & SR9c) & don't have a problem but they're recoil operated.
So the question is, if I don't stiff arm a blow back pistol will I really have a problem like the guy said? I learned the "point & shoot" method with a revolver when I was young & got pretty darn good at it & used the same method with Ruger MkII's, High Standards, etc & never had an issue.
Thanks
