These are nice sized for sumertime CC & the price is very attractive. Anyone have any experience with these?

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

There have been a couple of threads on the Bersa. I had a friend with one. The only thing I didn't like was that the magazine had to be in it to do anything. Locked the trigger and slide in place. Also only comes with one mag. My friend wasn't thinking and when he was cleaning picked up the loaded mad he extracted, released the slide then losing situational awareness pulled the trigger to drop the hammer. A .380 Hydro-shok will penetrate two layers of dry wall and lodge half way through a piece of 3/4 cedar. The back of his wife's cedar chest. Other then that incident it was decently accurate and reliable.


A bad day at the range is better than a good day at work.

The Bersa 380 is an excellent gun.
Accurate reliable and the price is right.
The mag safety is easy to remove. It's a coil spring under the grips.

One of the "best bang for the buck" carry guns.

I've had a nickle CC version in my car for 4 years now. I've only run a couple of boxes through it but it functions flawlessly, size and comfort are great.
I think they are a great value.

I have carried the Bersa Thunder for 6 years and put about 500 rounds down range with no problems.


When will this current nightmare end.

I guess the only "problem" with the Bersa is it's a blow-back rather than a locked breach gun and thus heavier than some of the lightweight 9mm's and much larger than the glut of nice locked breach .380 mouse guns that are out now.

Trust your life to a POS but I guess it depends on what your life is worth.

I'd rather trust my life to a POS than debate with one on the net.

The gun is fine, zero malfunctions. I cloverleafed 3 of 5 shots with it at 7 yards Saturday even with the abrevieated sights. Nice visiting with you.
