Bersa Thunder .380 HolstersCreated by the Bersa Corporation in 1995, the Bersa Thunder .380 was built for the CCW marketplace and for basic self defense use. It's part of the Bersa Thunder line, that also consists of the:
Designed using a classic blowback blueprint, the Thunder .380 provides above average accuracy. Even though the pistol is fairly light, it still has enough weight to keep the recoil very manageable. The standard style comes with a 7 round magazine and so the round count is 7+1. Bersa also offers extended mags that carry 9 or 10 rounds. The Thunder comes standard with a considerable number of user friendly features such as:
Even though the .380 is thought to be an acceptable self-defense caliber, Bersa chose to use this caliber on the Thunder as a number of nations have limitations on the size of the round that a civilian can own.To make the Thunder availabe in those nations, the .380 was picked as the caliber of choice.
Even though the Thunder has a significant following, it is not without it's detractors. Some individuals complain that the Thunder has a small grip so they have issues getting a firm handle on the pistol. This seems to be most prevalent with folks with large hands. In these instances, a magazine extension or Pearce grip extension might help. The Thunder .380 makes a effective choice for both ccw or home defense. It's light enough to carry for long period of time and has sufficient firepower to address most self defense matters. It's also very reasonably priced at a sub $350 price point. One major plus for the Bersa Thunder is the outstanding trigger pull for a double action pistol. Having owned and fired well known, and considerably more expensive double action handguns; the Thunder has one of the best factory trigger pulls I've ever experienced. It's extremely smooth and consistent throughout the entire pull, breaking nicely around the 3 lb mark. Don't take my word for it. Test fire one and you'll be pleasantly surprised at this handgun in this price range. Both Glock and Sig could take a few pointers from Bersa on trigger designs.
As the Thunder .380 is a well-known handgun, holsters for it are fairly simple to locate. A number of individuals on various handgun discussion boards seem to believe that the Bersa Thunder will also fit a gun holster for the Walther PPK or PPKS, but that just isn't the case. While similar in frame size, the Walther PPK has different dimensions. If you are shopping for a nice holster for your Bersa 380, try below:
