Bersa folks, how do YOU ccw your .380??

[md7]

Wondering how you guys that ccw the bersa thunder .380's carry it. OWB, IWB, pocket? I ccw'd a SW 642 in my front pocket until it got relocated to my wife's vehicle. So now I am back into the ccw market. I may get another 642, but I like to view other available options. The Bersa Thunder .380 CC looks like a pretty good piece for ccw. about the size of the 642, a little heavier, but thinner, and a very reasonable price. Just wondering how most people carry this, and how much ya'll like it or dislike it. thanks

I have a Bersa Thunder (not the cc model) that I've carried IWB. It's a little large for me to pocket carry easily, but it's a great, reliable gun.

I carry mine IWB in a Don Hume. Very comfortable.

Mine is in an IWB holster when I carry it.

I have a nice IWB leather job from Ugly Bald Guy holsters:

It's quite nice on the whole and is a nice slim package. Retention is good, though one-handed reinsertion can be tricky. Still, nice for the money.

thanks for all the replies so far. seems like the preferred method is IWB and OWB. Michael T, is it difficult to pocket carry the cc model?

 

[Curley]

I use a clipdraw with mine. It's more comfortable than any IWB holster I've ever tried. And with the T380CC's manual safety and heavy DA trigger pull, not using a holster is not a concern for me.

OWB in a Galco Stinger holster. Very comfortable

Alessi IWB at 5 o'clock. It's the only IWB holster I own. All other CCW's go OWB.

(great gun, too).

Great gun, fun to shoot, dependable and accurate. I carry in an IWB holster in warm weather, coat pocket during cold weather.

I carry my Bersa thunder, strongside IWB, just in front of my hip with the butt angled up at near a 45 degree angle. In a holster I made from an old leather carseat cover. Worn with a t-shirt untucked it rarely ever prints.

Used to pocket carry. Fit nicely.

IWB 3:00.
Extra mag at 10:30.

I need to do ab crunches more often....

I carry my in a Desantis Nemesis pocket holster. Fits and conceals well in the front pocket. I like the little Bersa at the beginning, but the more I shoot it the more I dislike it. The recoil is a little strong for the little 380. I get powder burn on my skin. I can't hold it comfortably, and of cause since i can't hold it comfortably I can't shoot it very accurately. The slide won't lock back sometime because my thumb get in the way of the slide stop operation. I guess i like carrying it but not shooting it.

 

[bestseller92]

I have one, and it's a good little gun, but I don't carry it for CCW.

IWB strongside 3-4:00

well, thanks to everybody for the input. i belive anyone would be well served by the bersa .380, but i have decided to get another SW 642.
