Bersa Thunder 380 'POCKET HOLSTER' recommendations

[brentfoto]

Please advise of any 'pocket' holsters that you'd recommend for the standard Thunder 380. I'm looking for 'inexpensive and ambidextrous' for 'pocket' only.

One such inexpensive holster I am considering is the Uncle Mike's pocket holster. However, I'm a bit confused as to which model # fits the gun best for pocket carry - 8744-3 or 8744-4 ? Please advise, and comment on the holster itself, if you can.

Please mention other pocket holsters, also, that you know are compatible with the gun.

I have not received my standard Thunder 380 yet. I'm going to first try using it in my Mika Pocket Holster for the S&W J-frame and the Nemesis for the same gun. Comments on what to expect?

Thanks in advance!

I had a nemesis pocket holster that worked pretty well for my bersa.

Is your Bersa standard-sized?

I already have a Nemesis but it's for my J-frame.

Don't know if it will fit BT380-will find out Wednesday night.

Comments on the better UM pocket holster size requested also.

Thanks for your input on the Nemesis.

The Nemesis designed for the J-frame will hold the Standard BT380.

The Mika designed for the J-frame will not.

The BT380 is now in my front pocket with the Super-Fly Nemesis designed for the J-frame. The gun is a tad big for pocket-carry, I would guess, with ANY pocket holster, but you can get away with it.

I'll probably purchase a UM 8744-4 as it may be a better fit. Also, don't know if it would conceal the backstrap more, or not.

The backstrap is just below the curve of the outer pocket on a pair of Levy Wrangler jeans.

Sam Andrews at www.andrewsleather.com makes a mighty fine one. I carry a Kimber Ultra Carry II, .45 ACP in one routinely.

They look really nice as they are leather-but that adds to weight.

My UM #4 pocket holster is on backorder. I'm also getting a Bianchi Pocket Change or whatever they call it-also on backorder.

The Nemesis (mine's a Super-Fly) with the BT380 is a bit snug, but I bought that for my J-frame, so not all that surprised. But I can live with that if necessary, if the UM #4 is not better-or, perhaps purchase a Nemesis in a larger size, and use the cover flap that I already have in my possession.
