Bersa Thunder Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

dissapointed..................

I bought this doing some extensive research and maybe I got a bad one? I took this to the range to show a friend how to shoot and the safety failed me. I was showing the safety features along with how the de-cocker works and it completely locked up on me.

Bersa 380

Bought this firearm for my wife . We shot it for the first time and it jammed up twice . Not a good look in front of the wife who I’m trying to convince to carry.

Great pistol

I have shot this pistol sooo many times without a hitch. Feels great, not too much recoil, perfect carry at a good price.

Shoots great, when it works.

I bought this 2 years ago. It was already in the shop earlier this year for a complete rework, new barrel, firing pin, etc. Got it back and it worked great, for the 2 times I shot ir afterwards. Now the spring or mag well is bad and it will not pop open a

Low recoil, accurate, nice grip, great concealment

I bought this gun about a month ago, an I've put more than 600 rounds through it, hasn't jammed nor have I had any problems with it while shooting. It has low recoil, and is pretty accurate, I've read online that it apparently shoots low, b

Decent.

Good gun. I'm writing this review to correct the specs above. First off, this gun has a capacity of 8+1, when using the standard Bersa clip (after market was only 7)(Promag). Second, I have yet to fire it but all evidence leans toward this pistol bei

Good piece.

Weapon works fine if you know what you are doing..

Great concealed carry

I bought my wife a Bersa Thunder on a recommendation and the great reviews this gun gets. I liked hers so much I went and bought me one. The Bersa Thunder is well made and has some wieght to help with recoil and accuracy from a small hand gun. They are ve

Perfect CCW

My son bought this for me for Christmas a year ago. This weapon has replaced several other weapons as my conceal carry. The greatest feature is when the safety is on, the trigger is released and will not fire. Flip the safety and it's ready to go, do

Great pistol!

Purchased the Bersa Thunder 380 along with a Smith & Wesson SD9 about 6 months ago. Both pistols are great and I have enjoyed them immensely. These were the first handguns I have ever purchased. I had a few fte but more related to me and the ammo used

solid piece of machinery

Purchased this little gem about 2 month back for something a little smaller to conceal. From the very first shot I was able to stack 2 inch groups at 20 feet. I have put 750 rounds down range and never had a jam or malfunction. This Bersa .380 also has a

Sweet shooter

I have had my thunder 380 about 9 months great gun, very accurate and reliable. Only problem out of 500+ rounds was 3 stove pipes from 1 box of blazer brass. Ever thing else runs fine.

Good, almost great!

Love the pistol - very comfortable to hold, balanced and very accurate to shoot. If you're trying to decide between this and the CC version - well consider the differences carefully. This one is a great gun to shoot at the range or put it in your car

Waste of Money

First, this is not an accurate gun. Its light weight allows for a lot of muzzle flip unless you put a death grip on it. Second, as a result of the muzzle flip, it jams...frequently. Mine averages at least one jam per magazine. My FNH FS 9mm is far easier

great little gun

I have seen some complaints about this gun but I have had no problems at all with it.

Has metal frame very accurate

I bought this bersa 380 two tone pistol about 3 years ago. It's the first center fire I've owned but I have tried several other pistols from, 380 to 45 cal. This bersa is all metal frame it is very accurate and really fun to shoot it has about 4

Nice pistol.

Got the duo-tone for Christmas to use as my conceal carry gun. Have put 50 rounds through it so far and love it. Replaced the plastic grip with the wrap around rubber grip and it nestles quite nicely in my hand. Only gone out to 10 yards so far and am dea

Great little gun.

I live in Miami. Shorts and T's all year long. This gun slips into my pocket with a DeSantis pocket holster. It's the gun a generally take with me. At the range? Never a problem. Need a should include a second mag though, and finish could be bet

Excellent pistol for everyday CC

I purchased one of these pistols a few months ago for my everyday CCW. This gun fits my hands quite nicely (I have issues with holding most gun grips). The pistol feels very solid in my hands and from what I have used the pistol, it is very accurate and r

You will not go wrong with this little beauty

Bought this gun for my wife for personal protection, fantastically accurate straight out of the box. Easy to use heavy enough to make the recoil negligent. Price makes this a must have addition. I will be getting a second for myself and making it my every

best product ever

I glad I bought this gun, It is my regular carry gun for self defense

BERSA 380

I BOUGHT THE BERSA THUNDER .380 TWO WEEKS AGO, GREAT CC PISTOL, PERFECT POCKET CC. GREAT SAFETY FEATURE BETTER THAN ANY OTHER. I WOULD HOPE ACADEMEDY WILL CARRY THE PLUS VERSION.

Great Pistol

Purchased the Bersa Thunder CC 380, Box of Monarch 380 95 gr. FMJ, and two Promag BRA01 (708279001116 barcode). Perfect, no hang-ups, love this pistol.

Great gun

I bought this gun for my wife for cc. It is a great gun,fits mine and her hand really good.very smooth trigger and function.i liked it so much I'm gonna buy the silver mod, I also talked 2 buddies into getting one also. Great for concealed carry.

First Time - Bullseye

I bought this gun 3 weeks ago, love the feel, couldn't wait to shoot, first time out of the box 2inch bullseye at 45 feet, I am not that good, but the gun didn't know that. Looking to buy another for the wife!

Great for the price

Is comfortable easy to use the most safety gun nice to shoot

Easy to operate slide, high accuracy

This was the first gun that I bought, and I had specified to the gun shop owner that had to have good stopping power. I was sold. My wife had bought a different brand of pistol, but she didn't have the hand strength for the slide. She knew that she c

In my opinion a safe and efficent handgun.

Not crazy about the black sights but I can live with them.

Excellent hand weapon

I bought this gun a month ago, I have been in the shooting range twice, and after the fist 8 rounds, I fell in love with it, I have average size hands and I feel this gun very ergonomic and comfortable, I wear it as my daily concealed carry weapon, I have

Great pistol

If looking for a pistol for a small hand this is the one. Bought for the wife and never looked back.

Great Gun

Bought about two months ago Great Firearm No problems shoots great Good Gun

Good conceal pistol.

I have the early version Bersa 85,love it. Well thought I would buy a newer lighter version Bersa "Thunder" .380, my old 85 holds 13rd. The new Bersa "Thunder" holds 7rd. But it is still a great little pistol, outstanding performance,

BERSA THUNDER is an EXCELLENT weapon!!!

I have a Bersa Thunder with the "ceracoat" finish. I have found it to be a "top shelf" precision weapon. I would put it up against ANY weapon in it's class of .380 handguns. It has performed flawlessly with the right ammunition. H

Great Gun

I purchased this gun a couple of weeks ago and have not been disappointed yet. I have put 200 rounds through it, without a single jam. The grip feels great and it is a joy to fire. I love the safety features and and white dot sites. I am new to shooting a

Bersa Thunder 380 Fragged

I bought the Bersa a couple of weeks ago, and when I took it out of the box I heard something rattling inside, (didn't hear it at the store). Broke it down for a cleaning and inspection. The piece of metal was a crescent shape. I looked the pistol ov

Perfect price and size

Nice size and price! very reliable and easy to carry.

great price

been looking for a while this is the 2nd one i have.. shoots very well no feed problem. using tula to fedreal

Great pistol, great price, great experience!

I was at a gun show in San Antonio months ago looking for another of this pistol and didn't like any of the prices I saw because I knew what it was supposed to be sold around. I finally saw it at Academy, and instead of purchasing myself, I recommend

Great reliable carry weapon

Bought this gun three months ago. Had a few FTEs however the more I shoot this Bersa the better it gets to where I can't remember the last time I an FTE. Very accurate and pleasant to shot. This is my 2nd Bersa. The first Bersa 22 Firestorm saved bot

Not cheap, economical.

Just recently sold my Firestorm (Bersa) 380 after about 10 years of ownership. No problem with the pistol, just developed lack of confidence in the capabilities of the .380 cartridge. To the best of my recollection, this is the only pistol I have (well, u

This pistol fits my hand well. I'm a female and most guns have grips that are just too big. The price is great for a reliable and dependable pistol.

great gun for the money!

i own 2 of these pistols and both have perfomed extremely well

Quality and Value

I purchased the Bersa Thunder .380 about a month ago, and to date have put through about 350 rounds. Initially, it would not feed flat-nose or hollow-point. After breaking it in with about 220 rounds of round-nose Remington and Federal, it now feeds every

great gun

I have had this gun for years I bought it new when they where $199 it shoots great and small enough for your pocket.

Liked This Gun so Bought a Bersa Thunder 380 Plus

My son and I bought one of these approximately 3 years ago. We have had no problems and highly recommend this gun. We use Pro Mag mags with no problems. The only Bersa mags we have are the ones that came with them. Excellent CCW Gun. Loved this gun so wel

Accurate little pistol!

I've had this gun for almost a month and have put about 300 rounds (of various brands of ammo) through it so far. Had a bit of trouble with it jamming in the beginning, until I realized that my extra mags had a ton of grease and needed a good cleanin

Great weapon for the Price !!!

I had a Browning 380 and like a dummy went and sold it. But when I went to the gun store to see what 380 was available the sales person steered me to the Bersa. Bought it cause it reminded me of my Browning 380. Accurate weapon, light to carry and easy to

Great ccw

I have been carrying my Bersa about 6 months. It is the first pistol I have shot free hand and shot consistent inside 4 inch as well as several dead on bulls eye.Mine came with 2 mags in the box. I don"t know what happened to other buyers

Very accurate and reliable.

I bought mine at Academy about 9 years ago. I have sent a lot of rounds down range with it. I have qualified twice for my concealed carry with it. 500 50X and 500 49X. 

First pistol

This is the first pistol purchased. Have had it 3-4 yrs. now. If you limp wrist it, it will jam or stove pipe, if you do not seat the magazine firmly, you will have failure to fire. Pistols require you use pad of index finger to pull the trigger for an ac

Awesome .380

This is one .380 that is hard to beat. It is very accurate for the barrel length. It is light, compact, and feels great in your hand. The grip just fits my hand perfect with the finger grip on the magazine. I also bought 2 extra ProMag clips for it and th

Worst gun ever

I bought the Thunder  and have taken it to the range 7 times and the gun smith 4 times in 1 year.  Last trip to the range lasted 31 shots.. I will never buy a Bersa anything again.

Amazing gun!

I purchased this gun for my fiancee for a cancelled carry weapon. it is a great size for her and even for me has a very minimal recoil which she loved.she put 50 rounds through it and was excited and smiling the entire time. it has a great double action-s

Great gun

I bought mine about 2 years ago and instantly it became my favorite carry gun. I can't count the number of rounds I have put through it but I have only had 1 malfunction and I believe that was due to a burr on the hollow point jacket. The round hung

Works great, when it works

Bought this for my wife, she loves the size and feel. Shoots very well. Accurate with not a lot of recoil. However, it tends to stove-pipe a lot, regardless of who shoots it, so I don't think it's from limp wrist. The trigger malfunctioned and h

Bersa is a blast

I've put 100 rounds of Tulo .380 in my new Bersa and can easily say it's worth every cent I paid for it. Pleasure to fire and quite accurate. For a 17 oz pistol, recoil is not bad. It feels right in your hand. No stove-piping, no excess fouling.

Quite a "Bang" for the buck

First of all... regardless of the description on this site, this is not a double action gun only. Only the first round is. All the rest are single action. If you cock the gun first with one round in the chamber, it is totally single action and the trigger

Excellent CCW

Purchased this weapon about a year ago and have run over 1000 rounds through it. The only problem I encountered was some stovepiping with a box of hollow points I bought cheap - probably junk ammo - not a single problem since. I have large hands and this

Easy to Use, Accurate

I am 62, a woman who is not athletic. I have shot different firearms over the years. As I have aged, I noticed I seemed to not be as strong, so I wanted something that was in my ability range. I chose this pistol for these reasons. 1. Light weight 2. Stur

GREAT FIREARM

Bought this pistol about a year ago. Finally put it to the range test. Man o" Man what a FINE weapon this is! Bulls eyes consistently after a minor rear sight adjustment. I shot at 10 yards all kinds of ammo. The Bersa didn't care what I fed it.

Favorite gun I own

I own a number of handguns, and by far, the Bersa Thunder .380 is my favorite. It is very accurate at the range, and has a great feel in my hand. I carry it with an inside the pants holster, and hardly know it's there. I highly recommend it!

Good value in a .380

If you think it looks like a PPK it should. It was made under license from Walther. It is lighter though, but very reliable with FACTORY magazines. Don't waste your money on after-market mags like I did because you just end up throwing them away afte

Far Exceeds Standards

I purchased this Bersa Thunder .380 ACP Pistol around the Chrismas holidays and this is the first Bersa I've ever owned(I've heard and read nothing but good things and good reviews about this firearm) so I felt this would be a good purchase. I&#

Small and mighty

I bought the Thunder at a military base for around 250 bucks, it is my summer time CCW, because it slips right into my front short pocket or in a belt holster which I can wear under a t-shirt. Would have been nice if Bersa included 2 mags, but they have t

This little guy is a bargain!

I had the two tone model, not all black.......same thing right? This use to be my everyday carry, about 5 years ago. I switched to .40, then 9mm; But the Bersa still has a place in my heart. Ended up giving it to my dad because he wanted a gun that had go

Worst Gun Ever!

Do NOT waste your money on this! There are much better options in a 380 than this piece of junk. Never got any use out of it as it kept stovepiping.

Looks and shoots like a Walther PPK

Bought one two years ago to teach wife and daughter how to shoot and as possible concealed carry. Love the double/single action, smooth trigger pull and little kick. For the money you can't beat it, very accurate once you break it in. Don't limp

Bersa Thunder Pro 9mm Review

This is a awesome fit finish right out of the box is just a beautiful pistol and you're really getting battle proven system when you pick up it.

Packing the Bersa Thunder 380 Pistol

The Bersa Thunder 380 is a blowback-operated, double-action/single-action semi-automatic which takes its design cues from the Walther PPK, famously carried by the fictional secret agent James Bond. This pistol is offered with several different finish and

Great Gun!

I don't write many reviews, however, this little gun didn't get a fair shake here. I've shot many different pistols, and of course, there are better one's out there. In my opinion, this is the best .380 out there for the price! I'
