#I just wonder if anyone out there has seen or handle this new Bersa? Any ideal
#about the price and also the magazine capacity of the Thunder9? Lastly how is
#the quality of Bersa in general?
I purchased a Bersa 383-A. It's a .380 with stainless steel finish. I am
pleased with the gun. I am in no way a gun expert when it comes to fit and
finish and machine marks and such but it shoots well for me. In the first 50
rounds it jammed ever 3 or fourth round. It would not fully chamber the next
round. Since that box however it has fed everything with no complaint. That
includes Winchester silver-tips, federal Hydroshoks, as well as the standard
FMJ fare. It has a nice finish and it feels solid. It is a very pleasant
pistol to shoot. As for the quality of the gun the only standard I am
qualified to use is wether I would buy the gun again. I would. In a second.
I think it is a lot of gun for the money. I plan on looking very closely at
the 9mm Bersa. It might make me raid my Sig 229 piggy bank. ( a bird in the
hand.....)
BTW the magazine I have is the single colomn(sp) it holds 7 rounds. It is
available in the double colomn(sp) witha capacity of 13rds. Its as accurate as
my Glock at 7 yds. 3-5 shots in a 2-3 inch group.
