it appears to be a barrel pin (no. 16 inthe schematic in my manual). How could this have come out? or did it ship that way?

It is difficult to see in your picture, but Bersa switched to a steel roll pin for several of the internal pins about a year ago. If you can see a roll pin in the hole you are good to go. I you can see the frame and barrel sections, then it needs to come see us at the Warranty Center.

maybe this photo is better. you can see through the holes where the barrel pin should be. do you think it could ship this way. i’ve been dry firing with snap caps and practicing slide removal and reassembly. havent fired it yet.

Yep.....pulled out a couple of mine- "looks like" the pin is missing, BUT yours being a 'newer' model??... they may stake them somehow instead of using the pin. Bottom line here- I don't know.
Probably best if you can shot a pic to Royce at American Arsenal & Armory. He will know for sure.

Edit: well.....guess I'm too slow this morning? You guys are already on the ball

royce, i think i do see a roll pin in the hole. Is that what produces a slight decrease in the diameter of the pin hole?

higgy thanks. i think it's ok. looks like it just has the new type of design with the roller pin. but it looks like there is wear around where the pin would have been attached, so that was very deceiving.

thanks I think you just made my day. I'm pretty sure I see what you are talking about in terms of the roll pin; i do not see the inside of barrel or frame. Thanks!

I was able to blow up the photo and you can see the roll pin in the hole. You are good to go, with no issues seen.
