By The Numbers - Bersa Thunder

Accuracy
For its size, the Thunder is remarkably accurate
Reliability
When using OEM magazines, this is a very simple and reliable gun
Customization
There isn't much out there for the gun other than some holsters and magazines
Ergonomics
The gun feels good, but some of the grip finishing and control placement leaves some to be desired

final verdict

“The Bersa Thunder 380 and the Bersa Firestorm are both great CCWs. They’re compact with great ergonomics and dead-on accuracy. There’s not much in the way of customization options, but finding a holster is easy. Best of all? It’s cheap.” – David Lane
