battle of south americas finest

Easy - Bersa Thunder 9mm all day long. Don't forget that it's based loosely on the Walther P88, which may have been the best 9mm of all time.

Even it were a bad copy of a Walther, it would beat a Taurus.

what's the difference in the pro and not pro????????

?????

 

[Nushif]

I own a couple tauruses that are great guns. I have also owned one bersa. My vote goes to taurus in this case for one reason and one reason only:

The Bersa Thunder .380 is in my opinion the best Bersa there is, not the UC9.

Had this been between a taurus and the Bersa Thunder ... The Bersa Thunder wuld have won, simply because there is no better .380 for thatbkind of money. and very few better ones for a lot more money. but in the arena of the 9mm ... Taurus hands down.

The Pro was introduced a couple of years ago ... it has the rail on it, polygon rifling in the barrel, comes with 2 magazines. Mine is a great shooter.

And I thought this was gonna be a Ballester Molina vs. FM Hi-Power vs. Colt Sistema thread.

 

[Snowdog]

Wow. Personally I think the HC/UC series is the best of the Bersa line up which I believe is the overall consensus, but we're all free to have our own opinions. The Bersa .380 certainly are fine guns too.

 

[NMGonzo]

Bersa.

Argentine Police uses them for a reason in lieu of the FM.

 

[Fester]

Are Taurus's that bad?

Nope... Bersa's are just that good! They are not cheep.. They are just inexpensive...

 

[marine 97-03]

I thought I seen somewhere that. The pro model has a different firing pin??????

 

[marine 97-03]

Anything that was designed after the p88 cant help but be good

 

[darrellkansas]

I thought I seen somewhere that. The pro model has a different firing pin??????

Pro model has a rail,polygonal rifling, loaded chamber indicator and comes with 2 13 round mags and is rollmarked PRO
The non- pro comes with a 10 round mag and none of the above list.
I have a UC non pro with well over 2,000 rounds of Blazer Brass with one stove pipe with in the first 100 rounds

Bersa.

Maybe because the Bersas are DA/SA with decocker, and very few police forces in the world use single action autos as standard issue*.


*Emphasis on few & standard issue - I know there are exceptions.

 

[Trad Archer]

My Bersas have all performed flawlessly for me. I know several people who have owned Taurus firearms of various models and it sure does seem like they get rid of them because they end up hating them.

Guys, i have just opened an account on here. How do I make a new thread?

 

[Jack19]

Bersa.

Like a friend says, "Taurus has a lifetime warranty for a reason."

 

[RobertoJ]

the Pro model has a chamber loaded indicator and a rail, those are the two things that I remember however, the Pro's are the "next generation", so to speak.
