( Part 1 ) Bersa Thunder 380 Firearm Review ( $240-$320 )

Back


Reviewing the Bersa Thunder 380 Pros , Cons , Mods , Breaking down & Test

I put as much info in this clip that I could think of so its kind of big and maybe alittle long winded for some people.

Note: I was still alittle sick when making this clip so I say a few things wrong Like ( Its not chambered 308 LOL I think a 308 handgun would rip your hand off ) Its in 380acp and Its a Double/Single Action.

You listed DA/SA as a con. Can you pull the hammer back manually on the first shot?

Just got a Glock 19. Now looking for a second gun for my wife.

Very good intro, but please, for god's sake and ours, get a cheap off camera mic. The audio is so irritating.

Many thanks re the Bersa mod. Will do that. Or you made me think that maybe I could add a slim spring washer to the screw, on the outside, in the screw well.
Keep up the grerat reviews!

Another good review! Enjoyed them all. Hope you intend working in the firearms business and making some money form your knowledge. Speaking of Berdsa's, on occassion I've known them the trigger and hammer to lock. Discovered that if you tighten the screw on the right plastic grip too tightly, it impedes the trigger mechanism inside and you can't shoo. Anyoen else get this problem?.

Thank you very much man , doing stuff like this would be my dream job. ( Maybe oneday it will come true )

And yes I remember someone on the Bersa forum saying that also but one thing you can do ( At least this is how he fixxed it ) is he simply sanded down about 1/2 of thread on the screw so he couldn't over tighten it anymore.

Thanks. I think as long as I use american made ammo in 380 since it tends to be a hair shorter then european ammo + softer primers an argentina made gun would be well suited for this gun. I've read alot of good reviews on this particullar piece. But I might just skip the bersa 380 and and get my pops a 9 just for better penetration. What good is an hp going to do if it can penetrait the skull? lung shot hearts shot yea yeah but one shot one kill sounds better to me.

lol I don't know man , I shot a 3 inch S&W 500Mag not to long ago and all I can say is WOW it had some kick to it.

I Would hate to see ( or more to the point ) Fell how much recoil a 308 handgun would have lol.
