bersa thunder 380

[Nanook]

I like it. We bought one used, and it has the gold trim which makes it look like the companion to Saddam's AK47.

But it's accurate and it's reliable. I have the rubber grips on it, and I bought several extra mags.

I haven't carried it yet, but I would without a second thought. I handload, so the ammo pricing isn't a problem for me.

A good gun value, in my opinion.

Its funny- I was thinking the other day of selling some guns I never use and don't really care for, a Remington 700 in .308, a Sig P238, and a Bersa Thunder.
This thread made me pull the Bersa out and fondle it, it was the wife's first gun, but she carries a j-frame now.
I think I'm gonna have to take it to the range and she and I get reacquainted with it. Might end up being her nightstand gun.
Wouldn't bring that much on the used market anyway....and besides I stocked up on way too much .380 reloading supplies years ago..

I like my BT380, but it seems to shoot to the left. I need to spend some range time with it and fix that. And it's a little too small and lightweight for my hands, but I still like it.

For as small as it looks it felt great in my hand and I really. Like the sights I was impressed with it my only problem is 380 is harder to find then 9mm but I can find it ok. If I dont buy a pistol I will for sure to keep it in mind

I like the looks of the PPK-style pistols and considered the Bersa, as well. However, I settled on the Sig P232 instead. It had a better, simpler decocker than either Walther or Bersa. It, too, fits the hand nicely and a nice firearm, but more expensive than the Bersa.

Excellent little gun - easy to shoot accurately, easy to conceal, super reliable - go for it!

My experience with Bersa is with a Mod. 383-A 7rnd all steel with wood grips.
What I don't like is the safety which moves in the opposite direction of the Makarov and 1911.
The grips seem a little fat.
Other than those two issues I really like the Bersa it is accurate and reliable, but I would rather carry a Makarov(PM).
