    Model 85 broken

    I took my Bersa to the range a couple of weeks ago, and midway through the second magazine, a strange thing happened.  The action cycled, but the trigger was all the way forward, as if the hammer was down, but the hammer was fully cocked.  I had to manipulate the decocker several times to get the hammer to fall, but even then it fell to halfcock.  It won't go all the way down.  I tried cocking and decocking several times with the same results.  The trigger doesn't move and the hammer will not decock fully.  Any ideas?

    I would repost in Tech Talk and wait for an answer from the gunsmith. It sounds dangerous to me the way it is!

    Something appears to have broken or come out of place. I would stop using the pistol and if you like, call us and we will walk you through a couple of checks, or ship it to us, but it won't be covered under warranty.

    I definitely have stopped using it... I was just curious if it was something common and easy to fix.  Doesn't sound like it, haha..

    I might try calling if I decide to keep it.
