    Bersa Thunder 380

    Here it is. Arrived yesterday (after 10 day DROS period). It underwent a thorough cleaning. It's a gorgeous gun. I happened upon its advertisement on Armslist. I was looking for a 22lr.
    Then this one pops up (I was the first person to contact the seller). The owner fired only 50 rounds through it. Gave me the original receipt where he purchased the gun and ammo (It was the same FFL we went to make the PPT transfer). It came with 5 boxes of FMJ, 2 extra mags and a uncle mikes pro-pak shoulder holster for $200 bucks.
    The Bersa Box has the original $329.00 sticker tag from the FFL. The FFL dealer was completely bewildered.
    He (FFL) asked the seller if he would reconsider...

    I am grateful. I got a great deal. I forgot about the 22lr.
    The seller said to me that 5 minutes after I made contact with him, he was flooded with emails from around the country. It was sheer happenstance that I was perusing Armslist for a 22lr. I seldom use that site. I generally use calguns but started there since they only have a handful of handguns in the area. Here is the original ad:

    This pic is from ysterday. It is in pristine condition.
    It's in a Gunvault Nanovault NV300.

    Well, there's my show-and-tell.

      Holy crap! You stole it at that price. Especially with all the ammo that came with it. I love mine. It's nice to shoot and pretty accurate. I just ordered some wrap around grips in olive drab for it today. I'll post a pick when it gets here.

        Enjoy! Love my Bersa. It's a shame their not on the roster anymore. Dollar for dollar probably the best gun for the price.

          My Dad got one at Triple A's; the two tone one. Pretty soft shooting lump. Had a few FTFs with it in the 100 rounds we shot, but I think it was because it could have used some lube. I struggled a bit at distance since the sights are kinda small.

                    I'm jealous! Your BT 's finish looks fabulous. I got mine just before they went off roster. All my friends like it and always ask to shoot it. Congrats!

                      It is a solid shooter.
                      Here is a review from Guns.Com about the Bersa Thunder 380.
                      In a nutshell, at a shooting range in San Bernardino, CA, the rental Bersa Thunder's trigger spring wore out...oh yeah, after 50,000 rounds.

                      Full story:


                      My parents own a pair of Bersa Thunder 380's and they are awesome guns. Hopefully next weekend I'll take mine out to the range.

                        Nice, good deal. I had one, but ended up selling it off. I just couldn't get use to the snappy recoil of the 380 especially in that small frame. Or maybe it's because I have gigantic hands. Keep us updated on how it feels for you

                          I installed my wrap around grips on my Bersa Thunder and they are pretty good for the price.
