bersa 380 thunder

[bkk6869]

The Bersa 380 Thunder was in a weekly sales ad right before it was taken off roster. I went in the day before the sale ended and was told it was no longer available because of the move. Does anyone remember what the sales price was?

I'm was looking at one on armslist.com but the guy wants $375 for it (about 1500 down the barrel). I seem to remember the last sales price was like $315 or somewhere around there.

No but its a great gun. Don't think its worth $375. I think the sale price was less then $300. Used to have one in all stainless and wish I didn't sell it.

I've always liked them. It was on sale and I debates back and forth on a ar or bersa first...decided on the bersa and it had come off roster the day before I went in for it. Very happy with my ar but I still want the bersa. Classifieds here and on armslist everyone wants $350+. For that much id rather buy a p95

Here are the last two times it appeared in the weekly Ad.

$299 sale
$329 regular

thank you sir. maybe people are trying to jack up the price because you can't buy them anymore? i don't know, maybe ill have a little bit of leverage. i'm not going to spend much over the last $300 sale price for a used .380.

Great little guns...I have one with gold accented parts. I bought it because It is a better gun than it's price would suggest.

I first wanted a Walther PPK but didn't want to pay the $$$, the Bersa Thunder is identical, and a lot less.

Now being off the CA "Approved List" will see a higher price because of it's exclusivity, supply & demand.

And I just checked and the Walther PPK is no longer on the list.
As a matter of fact there are only 12 .380 ACP approved guns on the list.

Wow, I guess I should follow these list a bit more closely...

I got my Bersa .380 duo tone for $279, of course this was before all the crazy price jumps.

I wanted to get a second one for the heck of it, but I guess that's out now.

budsgunshop.com has them for 275 but then you have to pay transfer fee at ffl dealer....outside of california of course.

[bkk6869]

damn even the ruger 380 isn't on the list anymore? maybe i'll spend $120 and try out the Hi-point 380. I've heard nothing but bad about hi point from internet people who've never shot them, and nothing but good from people who own them. they're ugly as sin, but a bullet comes out the hole...

Hey, I am actually looking to purchase a Thunder 380. Rented one at the range and decided that was the gun for me... only to find out it wasn't on "the list" any longer. (I am learning more about guns than I ever have in the last month!)

I have cash in hand that I want to spend on this gun, anyone have one in Northern Ca that wants to off load theirs? Reasonable offers considered!

Place a WTB ad in the appropriate section for it. Maybe you'll get some bites.

I just came across my original price tag while packing for my Bersa... $249 for the duotone with an extra mag in 2006...considering I'm moving to TX maybe I ought to sell it...LOL
