[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 2984187, member: 18914"] My first handgun was a Bersa Thunder 380 CC (concealed carry). I am a Bersa fan. They are well made Argentinian guns, patterned after the Walther PPK (at least the Thunder line is). The only complaint I had was that my CC was on the large-ish side for a concealed carry gun, not outrageously so but bigger than one is now accustomed to seeing in a world of LC9s, Shield, NANOs, etc. Pros: - Low Cost, reliable (in my experience), looks cool (to me); Lifetime Warranty (for original owner IIRC so that could be a CON too) Cons - if repairs are needed I hear that turn around time can be long, magazines used to be difficult to find; Thunder CC series has minimalist sights which facilitate snag free draw (+) from concealment BUT do make establishing sight alignment and sight picture more difficult (-) To my mind, the Bersa Thunder is a greatly under-rated gun, largely because it doesn't have the correct lineage. It is a solid, if not outstanding, competitor for the concealed carry/personal protection handgun market and deserves a close look by anyone seeking a handgun for those purposes. [/QUOTE]
