Its a good little knock-off of the Walther. I swapped mine (a bi-tone) to my dad for a S&W M36 since the dept. wouldn't let me carry the Bersa as a back-up. Mine was magazine finicky, it would work good with some but not others (all factory) and it preferred ball ammo. The finish was fair, the insides showed some tooling marks and the trigger was a little rough until it broke in.

With all that being said, I miss that little gun and will probably end up buying another one. It is easy to carry, minute of BG accurate and has a high CDI factor. If you are thinking of getting one, go for it.

subscribe...I've been looking too & comparing to the Kel-Tec 380. I'm curious on the opinions of which is a better choice. They are comparable in price. Same caliber .380 is offerred. I think...they are about the same wrt concealability. I like the safety on the Bersa better.

I have an older one. Decent gun. A little crude and clunky but it works. Check out their new Thunder 380 Concealed Carry gun!

It out-performs, out-features and out prices all others in it's class. Compare against all other .380's.. nothing even comes close to this Thunder .380. Absolutely nothing. BERSA gives you the most value for your shooting dollar.

The one I had shot well but if Im going to carry a gun that size, I will carry my small 1911, if I carry a .380 then it would be the Kel-Tec

Seems that the bersa would be more range friendly. Meaning you can fire it with comfort. The kel-tec seems like it would hurt to shoot often.

What small 1911 is comparable in size to the Bersa?

i really like my Bersa .380. it's got about 1000 rounds through it. i bought it used with about 500 rounds through it. only had a couple failures to feed on the first range trip. i gave the feed ramp a good cleaning and it's bene totally reliable ever since. i can easily conceal it under just a t-shirt when carrying IWB.
