HotCarl Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 So i always see these things for dirt cheap brand new. i was at powderroom and they had a subcompact 45 for only 350$. My brother bought a .380 for his wife for like $230 a few weeks ago. Whats the deal with these things? are they a good deal or do you get what you pay for?

KillJoy Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 I dunno.... you can pick up Glocks PRETTY cheap!!! KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty2Hotty Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Bersa Thunder .380's are a nice weapon. Not sure about any of their other weapons, but the Thunder's I've shot were pretty nice. With the new Hornaday Critical Defense .380 ammo, it can actually be used as a defensive weapon.

(But in smaller hands, and in certain situations, it might be a better weapon for someone else. Just not me.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HotCarl Posted December 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Uhhh....... stick with Glocks? KillJoy PS - 1911's too Oh yeah no doubt. Scotty said he might have a piece up for sale soon but i think 2 VERY similar glocks just diff caliber might be a bit much. If and when i buy another handgun it wil probably be an XD40 or M&P40 possibly subcompact. But for the price, the Bersa was tempting.

Even a Glock 36 if you are ok with the capacity I think they are 6+1.... KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillJoy I wanted it to be my first i suppose and ive ALWAYS liked the 26 (duh). but i did shoot and play with a brand new subcompact XD at powder room and fucking loved that gun. I held a 36 tonight. they are a bit slimmer like scotty mentioned a few days ago, but your right the capacity is slim aswell. might as well carry a revolver no?

cinergi Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Bersa used to make JUNK. I mean Raven/Lorsen quality stuff years back. They really improved and now in my book they're an A+. I don't own one because I just never got into them, but if I only had chump change, I'd buy one. I consider them to be just as reliable as CZs, Glocks and AK47s. I don't normally give such ringing endorsements, but that Thunder 380 is hard to argue against, especially like Scott says... with the new Critical Defense ammo. I liked their nine model as well, but I have no experience with the 45. We have one at work, but it's the first one I have handled. I wouldn't see any reason for it to be anything less than the Thunder 380 line-up. I took it apart and closely checked fit and was impressed.

cinergi Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 FUCK THAT noise! Scand Frame w/ full load 357 = nose job! :bangbang: KillJoy Actually, I thoroughly enjoy shooting mine. Most people would say it's something akin to taking an aluminum baseball bat to a mailbox at close to 60mph with fullhouse .357s in it, but it never really bothered me after the first few times I shot it. The way I see it, the other party will certainly feel it a lot more than I will if I ever have to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillJoy Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 I shot one of the Bright Blue Tit or Scand Frame when they first came out. I fired a Full House Load, and that some bitch hurt more than ANY thing I have ever fired! The bottom of the trigger guard jumped up and smached the bottom of my trigger finger so hard it left a bruise for WEEKS! So..... me no like light weight revolvers HOWEVER..... a Kel_Tec 380......
