I've been looking for one of these for some time now in a nickel finish.
Had some money with me today when I walked into the Gun Shop and there she was. All nice and new and pretty. Say hello to my new Bersa Thunder.380

I really like this gun, and it has been highly recommended. Seems like it's going to be a very nice light IWB/jacket pocket carry gun, and allot nicer shooting then my KT p3at. Not that I don't like the KT because it has it's purpose in my family of CC guns but it's just not a fun gun to put to many rounds through at one time. It's a great summer carry gun though. Now all I need is a nice day to go to the range with it. I've got 200 rnds to put down her throat.

Those are nice pistols; I've fired a few, and they just run great, are accurate, and are suprisingly affordable.

Enjoy, sir!

I believe thay have the alloy frame...Yes?

I have one in my mix of carry weapons and they are fine pistols that work very well.

Did you opt for the "CC" model or the standard Thunder model? Judging by the stock photo you used, it is the standard model. Very nice piece.

No real great benefit to the CC, I was just wondering if you managed to find the CC model anywhere. They are extremely rare.

Thanks Cuda66

You would be right Frenchy. The things feels solid as a rock and the trigger is beyound smooth. First round DA after that SA. I really like the simplistic design of the gun and the way it breaks down. The sight are pretty good to on it and with my old eyes that's a good thing.

Bluto · 10-27-2009, 04:30 PM

It is the standard model. Finding a Nickel plated CC model is like you say almost impossble to get. I like the Standard model because from what I'm hearing there is more accessories for the std model like grips . If I choose to go that way in the furure. When I get a chance I'll put a pic up.

Quite Walther-ish. I like there looks.

I actually prefer the Bersa to the PPK/S...I have meaty mitts that Walthers just love to tear up; the Thunder shoots real nice for me, no slide bite at all...

If I ever got a .380, it'd probably be one of these.

No doubt about it Frenchy it's a clone. But like mentioned without the bite.
