Is the Bersa Thunder 380 a decent hand gun. I am thinking about getting one.
Thanks

Not bad actually based on the Walther PPK.

I currently own 2, a CC and the double stack, 15 rounder.
Both are reliable and accurate.

The Bersa .380's are very good pistols.

Did Bersa cure the hammer bite issue of the old PPK?
Daughter bought one recently, I haven't seen it yet.

My wife carries one and really likes it
No feeding issues with any ammo so far. I am thinking of getting one for myself. I like the double action.
Only a dingleberry, not yet a Turdlike person, maybe someday!!! I am happier than a retard in a room full of bouncy balls right now!! Joe.

I have the 9mm version and a buddy has the 380 - both very good pistols. I've run 15-2000 rounds through mine, not a bobble yet. It is my favorite everyday shooting pistola. I've been looking at the 380 for a little brother to carry in my pocket. My buddy loves his for that purpose.

A friend has one, and IIRC it's called a Thunder+, that little basturd holds 15+ rounds of ammo, I've shot it and it hits to the sights at 15 yards, with todays bullets I believe the 380 can be an effective Sd round, especially for a woman, or even a man, it's so damned small, you'll almost always carry it.
If it was all I had I'd load it with the 90gr Lehigh Defense solid bullet that resembles a flat nosed Phillips screwdriver.
