I picked up a Bersa Thunder 380 Duo-Tone in October. It's a fun gun and I see why Bersa owners love this gun. Here is my review:
Pros:
This isn't a pocket gun like the Kel Tec P-3AT but it's definitely a gun to carry concealed. It's all metal frame makes it on the heavy side weighing 24 oz with magazine unloaded. It has a 3.5" barrel and is 1.3" thick. There is little recoil. Shooting tight groups is easy and fun.
There are so many safety features on this gun: integral safety system (key lock), manual safety, decocker level, firing pin safety, and magazine disconnect safety. You really need to learn this gun and become familiar with all the safeties.
I fired 500+ rounds of Winchester White Box, Federal Champion, Magtech, PMC Bronze, Hornady Defensive Rounds, and no malfunctions. The gun feels better and loosens up the more rounds shot. The Thunder 380 is DA/SA, so the first round has a long DA trigger pull then all succeeding rounds are a short SA pull.
You can't beat the price for these guns. Brand new, you can find them between $230-$280 depending on the finish.
Cons:
This is a heavy gun at 24 oz. for a .380 ACP. The Glock 19 weighs as much and it's chambered in 9mm. I keep thinking, "I might as well carry a 9mm if I'm going to carry this."
The standard magazine is a single stack that holds 7 rounds. For the weight and size of the Thunder 380, I'd expect a larger capacity.
The multiple safeties can almost be confusing for a novice. It took me a while to explain to my retired LEO father-in-law how the gun worked. The manual safety lever takes more effort to disengage than others. It does not protrude enough to easily disengage or engage. Even though I like the straight forwardness of revolvers, Glock's, and the XD, you feel very safe about accidental discharge with the Thunder 380.
Conclusion:
Naysayers can't say the Bersa Thunder 380 isn't a quality made firearm. I trust this gun to properly fire if my life depended on it. That being said, it's not the EDC gun for me because of the weight and manual safety. I feel I should carry a larger caliber gun at this weight.
