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.
BP13: Slim Carry, More Ammo
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.
M2XI Gets a Steel Grip Option
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.
Price Point Matters
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.
