I finally got to the range this morning to try this little bargain pistol out. I was very satisfied too. Accurate for its intended distance. I am having to get used to the trigger since I have been shooting my DAO pistol. Did some sight adjustments and it was shooting good. 100 rounds and no issues at all. I love this little gun. Perfect fit and feel for me and conceals well.

10 yards, 5 rounds

This is my usual defense drill. While backing up from an arms reach, draw and fire 2 from the hip at center mass. Raise to eye level and fire 3 to center mass. Pause to check if the attack has stopped. If not fire 2 to the head.

Meh, had one...Damn disconnector spring kept coming loose. Took it back and traded for a RIA 1911 when I finally got sick of it. Was a fun little pistol when it worked, which unfortunantly was almost never.
 
I love my Para Ordnance LTC .45, but can't carry it concealed in the summer. This is a good trade off.
 
Both my wife and I use them for carry. A great little gun. They are accurate, reliable and very easy to carry, You will be very happy with yours.
 
I have shot my father-in-law's Thunder and really like it. Other things ahead of it on my "need" list, but I'll get one someday.
Congrats BTW
 
You'' love that gun, provided you're able to find a steady ammo supply. I was amazed with how pleasant mine was to shoot the first time, as well as how well it functioned with many different ammo loads I had with me, including some old CCI Blazer (aluminum-cased) stuff. Some of the ammo, including the CCI, was 20 years old. Even with them mixed up in the mags, the gun digested them all well. If .380 ammo was as cheap and available as .22LR, the Thunder would be my most-fun handgun to shoot..
 
Have had 2 Thunder .380's for 10+ years at least. Both have been totally reliable, and one is always close at hand. Even used one to do my CHL requalify shoot (as opposed to one of my Glocks). Great pistols!
