Bersa Brings More Capacity — SHOT Show 2026

At SHOT Show 2026, Bersa showed up with a simple message: keep the guns slim, add capacity, and don’t blow the budget.

The headline grabber is the BP13, an evolution of Bersa’s slim BP9 CC. What used to be a single-stack carry gun is now a 13-round, double-stack, without losing that thin profile people actually liked in the first place.

The new BP13 stays compact but steps up capacity to 13+1. It comes optics-ready with a deep-cut slide that direct-mounts RMSc-pattern optics, keeping the dot low and clean.

Other updates include:

• Aggressive front and rear slide serrations
• Window cuts for weight reduction and style
• Updated grip texture
• Ambidextrous, reversible magazine release
• New internal trigger bar safety

The pistol feels purpose-built for concealed carry but no longer asks shooters to accept single-stack limitations.

Bersa didn’t stop at compact. The BP9 Full Size brings the same overall design language into a duty-sized handgun.

Key details:

• 17-round Mec-Gar magazine
• Full-length grip
• Accessory Picatinny rail
• Similar ergonomics and texture to the BP13

Think of it as the BP13’s bigger sibling: same idea, more grip, more rail space, and more rounds.

The final update lives in Bersa’s high-capacity, 2011-style lineup. The M2XI now offers an optional steel grip module, and it’s exactly what you’d expect.

The added weight noticeably tames recoil and gives the pistol a more planted feel in the hand. It also changes the balance in a way competition and range shooters will appreciate. Less snap, more control.

Here’s where Bersa raises eyebrows. Both the BP13 and BP9 Full Size are expected to land around the $400 mark, pending final details. That puts optics-ready, double-stack pistols squarely in budget-friendly territory—without feeling cheap.

Compact carry, full-size duty, and a steel-grip option for their 2011-style pistol. That’s a solid spread for one booth.
