Does anyone own one of these? How well does it shoot?

shoots great.  no cocked and locked unfortunately.  controls are enormous.  Soft shooter.

I shoot my Girsan MC P35 really well. Will this pistol be as easy to shoot in rapid fire? (The way society is headed, it looks as if that could come in handy.)

No, I live 26 miles from downtown Portland, Oregon. I used to work as an Armed Security Patrol Officer in some of the most dangerous areas in the city. (I had to lock/unlock and secure the Skidmore Fountain Building near the Burnside Bridge. This is one of the nastiest areas in town.) I routinely carried a Glock Model 20 loaded with hot 155-grain JHP ammunition and routinely qualified with it. Today, the area is an utter sociocultural disaster. (A "toilet", if you will.)

I am constantly in a state of "situational awareness". I am alive and intend to remain so as long as possible.

Then stick with the G20.  Or move to a less insane state.

How sane are Detroit, Lansing, and Flint? Please elucidate.

I'll wait.

After watching a number of "range reports" with this pistol, I think it will be an excellent addition to my collection. The slide and barrel are only .65" shorter than the Beretta 92/M9 pistols. This allows the 9mm enough runway for the 124-grain JHP ammunition to stop the bad guys... cold. I have yet to hold it in my hands, and I like it already. All I need is a proper holster and an extra magazine, and I'll be set.

It works for me!

The people at Sportsman's Warehouse fouled up my order. I won't be getting the pistol until June 17th.

Idiots.

I have a compact TPR. It's a good gun, but it has a fat butt.

Is it fatter than the Browning Hi-Power? It seems as if it is about the same size.

It's slightly thicker, and being such a short gun it makes it seem larger in diameter. It's doable, but that's your first thought upon holding it.
I have never handled the full size, so you might not notice it or agree.

I'm not a real fan of short 9mm pistols. I have an earlier Kel-Tec P11 that shoots well enough; I'd rather shoot my Ruger LCP or Kel-Tec P32, as shot placement is easier. As long as it doesn't feel as if I am nurturing a badger beneath my sports jacket, I think that I'll be fine.

It'll be great for you, no worries.

In a shoulder holster, my Girsan MC P35 is a bit heavy, but the 30.7-ounce Bersa TPR9 is lighter, and I don't have to carry it "cocked and locked". (It also carries two more rounds to boot).

You can't with the Bersa.  Not an option.

I knew that when I ordered it. I like the DA/SA arrangement. The pistol is perfect when it comes to drawing and aquiring the target. A long, smooth stroke for the first DA shot and a rapid reset for every SA round fired therafter.  

This isn't a problem for me.

It's my preference too. I have a fondness for G model Berettas, especially the Cougar.

I can't wait to get this in my hot little mitts. While I love my Girsan MC P35, the Bersa will probably be better when the feces impact the air motivator. (It will be far quicker to come into play than the P35).

Works for me!

I picked up the pistol today. So far, I'm loving how it handles and the feel of the  DA/SA trigger. I am a tad disappointed with the trigger reset. (I think that it should reset sooner upon release.)

I'll provide my range report later.
