My understanding is that the 1911 type Bersa/Firestorm 45's were in fact made by Llama in Spain. The quality of those particular firearms were iffy at best.
On www.BersaTalk.com. very few complaints are ever voiced about the Bersa/Firestorms other than the Llama built 1911 clones.
I have a Firestorm FS22, and it's a great little trail/plinker. Always reliable and very accurate. I also have a Bersa Thunder "9" (Ultra Compact) and it too has been a fine little pistol.
I'm very high on the Bersa/Firestorm products. I've yet to figure out why they are producing two practically identical lines of pistols, (with very minor variances) but, hey, whatever floats their boat I guess.

"Firestorm" is only a trade name, coined by the American importer/distributor of Bersa and Llama pistols. As this outfit ( located in New Jersey ) was able to order and pay for a large number of pistols from the factories located in Argentina and Spain, the respective manufacturers were all to happy to put the Firestorm name on their pistols.
