New Bersa gun owner and new to the forum...

[ldman]

Hey guys... Just found this forum. I'm a new Bersa owner. Just purchased my Bersa 380 thunder 3 weeks ago. This has been a really fun gun to own thus far. I have around 200 rounds through it and only a few hiccups. I had a couple of jams early during my first 2 or 3 clips... after that, all is well. Was looking for a CC gun and ended up with the Bersa. This gun fits my hand very well and is easy to conceal. The cost is very reasonable for a 1st CC gun. Surprisingly the gun shoots very accurate at 10-15 yds. I also own a Ruger 22 target pistol. This little Bersa has me wanting a larger Target gun.... I'm now thinking about getting a 9mm and a 40.
Great little gun for the money!!

Maybe if you used a magazine instead of a clip....

You might consider the Bersa Thunder 22 for practice and save some money.

Welcome from another newbie to this forum. The BT380 is a good place to start a collection of Bersas and you'll find that the larger caliber Bersas to be excellent guns. Oh, BTW, I've been guilty a couple of times over the past 45 years of referring to a magazine as a clip.

Thanks for the welcome and being kind. Yes, I've seen a few of the larger caliber Bersas, they are nice guns. I plan on adding several guns to my collection. Also plan on selling a few. Clip/Magazine..I've been known to call a magazine a clip many times... Not sure why, maybe it's been from being around other people that call a magazine a clip... Yes, I know the difference.... I really liked the Glock 19 gen4 I looked at the other day... Not enough to buy it though.

First and foremost, I'm not a Glock basher, lot of people carry and love them but before you make a final decision on the Glock, try the Bersa 9UC. Recently went to a local range with a friend who is a retired Marine who is in my age group, the older than dirt group. He has four Glocks, two 40's and two 9mm and one of those is a Gen 4. On a couple of occasions I mentioned the all metal, alloy & steel, 9UC I carry and the performance using FP+P 147gr JHPs. As we started to leave the range he ask to fire mine. After he fired it, I wasn't sure I was going to get it back. He just simply said, "I want it", "where do I get one. Found one for him late that afternoon at the Base Exchange, called him and he was there when they opened the next morning. He's also going to make a good part time Bersa 9UC salesman.

I have tried to find the Bersa 9UC... Shops around here are selling out of guns. Not much to choose from.
