I until yesterday had my entire collection down to only 5 or 6 shot revolvers and single stack 9's and 45's. I had several hi-cap pistols when I first started collecting and slowly moved away from them for CC reasons like weight and thickness for carry.
I even still had a TRL-1 weapon light laying around with no place to shine. So I decided to get one more hi-cap 9 or 40 with a tac rail for a place to hang my light and to play night stand duty alternating with my 686 4''.
I thought to stay fairly inexpensive but have decent quality, and had a few ideas like Ruger SR9 or the Bersa UC9 or HC9 or 40, used glock whatever, but for around $400 in this department you have quite a few decent choices. So I cruised the gun and pawn shops looking for the deal of the day and I found for $290 this Bersa HC Thunder 9 Pro that looked to have factory grease still comming out after my first 100 rounds. So I am guessing it was barely used, although it did not come with the box and paperwork.
I have had two Bersa's before, a UC9 and a 380 CC. They both were flawless guns in operation and were only traded for something nicer or easier to CC. So with my experience with them I was fairly confident that it would be a reliable pistol and it fit my hi-cap and tac rail needs.
I also lucked out and found a holster that some one had and it was obviously for this pistol or the used HC 40 in nickel that was laying next to my 9. So for $295 I got the pistol and this clip IWB thin leather holster.
Here is some picks, what ya think?
