Not only am I a newbie to Bersa, but I just bought my first gun EVER. With the way things are in todays world, and being very unpredictable, my wife and I decided it was time for home protection. Also, we figured we should get one while we still can, and next month I'm going to get my CC permit. I did a lot of research for a dependable gun on a small budget and Bersa popped up every time. I finally bought my Thunder 380 yesterday. I got it at a gun show and when I saw the price I just couldn't resist. After I made my purchase I discovered it came with a laser, so that makes the deal even better. We took a drive today to a state conservation area with an outdoor range (indoor ranges here in St Joseph,MO are all closed on Sunday) ......a little cold out at 20 degrees but I couldn't resist at least running a couple mags through it . I love this gun. Not to big, plenty of bang, and super smooth action. My wife likes the safety features...lol. Now she wants the 22. I told her maybe santa will bring her one in 11-1/2 months.......

Welcome to the forum, and congrats on the .380. It's a great smaller gun, very concealable. You might suggest your wife get her CC as well. .380 is not a bad round (I sure wouldn't want to stop one) and recoil is very manageable. It will get smoother as you shoot it more. I wish ammo was a little less costly, but at least it's still available.

Please visit and post often, make some new friends and learn and share information.

Welcome to the Forum from Texas.
The Bersa 380 is a great little gun and if your wife wants the Bersa 22 that too is a great gun. If you have any questions on Bersa guns this is the place to find the answers. Just don't be afraid to ask.

Welcome from a Texan living in Nevada. You're repeating my story, but seven years earlier. I've also got a Bersa/Firestorm 22lr.
