Bit of a twist
Sorry to intrude with a non-380 question, but: Do any of you know of a reason to not choose a Bersa / Firestorm .22 over a Walther P22? I want to use this purchase for introducing my kids to handguns. So I'm looking for a smaller gripped .22 autoloader that is functional, maintainable, and fun. Any thoughts?
Thx.

From what I have read the people who have the .22 thunders/firestorm like them.

Love mine.....
Always reliable, always accurate.
I'm not a "rimfire" guy for sd, but in a pinch I think my Firestorm FS22 loaded with 10+1 CCI Stingers would be a pretty effective little confrontation stopper..

I paid (I think) about $227.00 otd a couple of years ago for mine, so I wouldn'
t think $260.00 would be out of line.
I also bought an extra (pricy) magazine for mine, but just put it away and never use it. I have well over a 1500 rounds thru my FS22 and it keeps on tickin'... At one time I deliberately shot it without cleaning simply to see when it would mess up, and around the thousand round mark it was so crudded up the slide couldn't close. I took it apart and gave it a good cleaning, and it went right back to working just fine....
I've found the cheapest ww "value pack" 22 high velocity work just fine in my FS 22, and when I want to I shoot "CCI Stingers" and it loves those.
Very good rimfire for the money, actually imo it's worth more than you have to pay for it....
I also have a Bersa Thunder 9/UC and it too is excellent. If someone at Bersa Argentina would get off their butts and market these fine pistols better they could sell a zillion of them.

Welcome to the club! I love mine 1063 rounds through it to date, no malfunctions at all. And some seriously nice little groups.
Bersa Thunder .380....
I just joined the Bersa "club" this last weekend!
Went to a gun show, and scored a "purty" duotone Thunder .380 for $226.00 NIB.
I LIKE IT!
Already have ordered an extra 7 shot mag, and a extra 9 shot mag, and ordered a couple of holsters for it.
Wahoo, it is rapidly becoming my favorite pistol....
