Bersa...?

[safe cracker]

i keep hearing bersa bersa bersa, its been 15 years or so since i had my hads on 1. and it jamped every time we tryed to shoot it. so are they built better these days....?

I can't speak to the quality/reliability of Bersa guns 15 years ago. I, like many others here, have been very satisfied with today's guns. I have a .380 and it has been 100% reliable. It probably wasn't built for 20,000 rounds but it is a good gun at a very reasonable price.

I had one of the Thunder Compact .45 pistols and it was totally reliable. It would shoot anything I put in it.

Have a bersa 45 uc. It will feed anything I put in it and shoot every time no matter what. The only thing it won't do is hit where I aim it. It shoots low. All of my other guns shoot where I point em, I'm sending mine back to have the sights fixed. Besides that, its a great gun for the money. Many people are happy with theirs.

I own 2 Bersa's. A .380 and a 9mm UC. Both are super reliable. I prefer the 9mm over my 1911, that is how much I like it. Super accurate too.

I have two Thunder .380s. Both have been flawless from round one. About 1,000 through each now. Great little carry gun. Light, accurate, ergonomic, almost no recoil.

I have had a 380 and now have a ultra compact 9 and both were/are awsome! I do perfer the 9 as well, 14 rounds in a compact package that my wife shoots accuratley also. I couldnt be happier for the $!!!!

I have the Thunder 380. Great little gun, accurate and compact.

They are Decent quality at an inexpensive price. If you get one I would go for the UC 9mm ... about the size of the walther ppk and holds 13 +1...

I have put close to 2k rounds through mine and no problems yet. But at first you will notice some aluminum shavings really fine in the action when you field strip it. But that goes away once it gets "worn in".

An ongoing "long term" review of the Bersa Thunder 380 (concealed carry version).


I've had a couple of "hiccups" along the way but the issues seem to be fixed and the gun has been solidly reliable since then. Certainly not a super heavy duty pistol but a nice BUG as far as I'm concerned.

Love my thunder .380 so easy to conceal in summer but still so fun to shoot, plus it was cheap!

They are a lot like your post. Not a lot of time and effort put into the finish work (in your case, spelling and grammar), but they are designed well, perform admirably, and are diamonds in the rough

Wouldn't mind having the .380

lol...i guess my hands jammed...lol. then again if i lived in utah and had 5 or 6 mothers in the same house i may have turned out better. thanks every one else for the info...

 

[amprecon]

My Bersa Thunder UC 9 is sitting on my lap right now as I type this. It rides with me wherever I go. It has been utterly reliable with various types of ammo and it is accurate.

 

[safe cracker]

Thanks again all, I am sold, I am on the hunt for the 9mm uc. Plus it will have something in common with my uzi...

if i lived in utah and had 5 or 6 mothers in the same house

Oh snap!

 

[hemiram]

I know someone with a Thunder 9, 17 shot mag, I think, and it's been a great gun for him. I almost bought one at a gun show a couple years ago, but passed.

I've had two of the Bersa Thunder .380's. Good guns and the price is right. My wife qualified for her CHL with her Bersa .380.
