Welcome to the forum mikey. You will find a lot of good info here.
I do not have a Bersa, but hear good things about them. My .380's are Keltecs. I am partial to the PowRBall ammo by Cor-Bon for carry, try a box sometime.

Mikey-

Welcome to PAFOA, it's a great place to meet like-minded folks and learn a boat-load about guns, laws, and rights.

My wife has a Bersa .380 Thunder and she loves it. Fairly accurate, too. One word of advise I will send your way- Don't waste your money on aftermarket mags. We have 2 that won't feed reliably, and if you need your gun to go bang every time, you need reliable mags. Suck it up and buy factory mags.

Again, welcome, let's hear from you.

Greetings and Welcome to the PAFOA
I have a Bersa Thunder 380 in satin nickel. I paid $230 and it was the best $230 I ever spent.

It is my summer, in the shorts gun.

Here is a good forum to read

You will get more specific advise there.

Hi Mikey, Welcome, I have a Bersa 380 for summer carry, I like the feel in my hand, the position of the safety and its smallness, I carry IWB but also in a Fanny pack when I hike and bicycle. The recoil is pretty strong but expected in a small gun though is manageable and is accurate, it shoots where you point it. I would probably get a different finish due to some rusting issues when carried IWB and sweating. I don't like it more than my winter carry gun, XD 9 SC, different guns, but I do like it a lot, lots of gun for the buck.
