They have it listed as 10mag capacity..Isnt is 16 or 17?

The 10 capacity is for the 9mm Ultra Compact

Or am i mistaken?

It seems like a good price for a new decent 9mmm...Thoughts?

My Bersa Thunder Ultra Compact 9mm holds 13 rounds...I'm not sure about the full size model.

The Ultra Compact is the best gun you can buy...for the $$$.

Several thousand rounds of +P ammo through it...its never missed a beat and is not worn out or beat up from the +P...well broken in, yes...but not beat up or worn out.

Accurate too...the sights are dead on at 15 yards.

The Bersa website (Eagle Imports)...should have the info you seek...

Dang...that does say its 10 rounds...but mine is 13.

They must have changed...though I can't imagine why they would do that. It looks the same as mine...unless they made them thinner.

GunLvrNLearner,
Good point. I have found that you always need to read carefully about the Thunder 9 and the Thunder UC9 as they are listed with both 10 round and greater magazine capacities. Not sure, but it may be left over stock from the Clinton era.

I just got my Bersa Thunder 40 full size the other day. Mine was $299.00 plus $20.00 to ship. I'm impressed so far. Took it out of the box and put 80 rounds through it with no problems.

The trigger has virtually no creep, but is to heavy for my tastes. I plan on trying to remedy that soon. Gun is well made overall and is a great value for the money. I think Bersa has a winner here.

Some places still have a mag cap limit of 10 rounds. I think the ad may be catering to or covering those areas.

I looked into buying the thunder 9 before I bought my CZ-75 instead. Go to http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/15060 and check em out. They list the number of rounds it can hold as well. Last I saw it was 17+1 Everything I have read shows it as a decent enough gun. At $318 NIB its a steal.

The Thunder High Cap can hold 17 in the mag and one in the chamber for 18 total. I know, got one and love it. Points well and is very accurate. Picked it up new for $305 before taxes. I don't have a CZ-75... yet!

probably

probably the best kept secret under $300, not pocketable,but certainly carrable. I would take a bersa any day over the kt 9mm but u ain't gonna pocket them.
