New Bersa Thunder 380 owner!

[Guest mellowglock]

Hi folks!

I just bought a new Bersa Thunder 380 with about 200 rounds of PMC standard ball ammo at the gun show in Knoxville yesterday. I've owned and shot all sorts of different guns but am new to this one. Looking foward to shooting it tomorrow, but in the mean time I'm looking for any tips or tricks, or anything I should look out for from other Thunder owners?

I have a Thunder and it has been 100% reliable with both factory ball ammo and lead reloads. Just be sure to clean and oil it good before you go shoot. Mine was a little gritty feeling when I got it, but after a good cleaning, it runs smoothly.

Mine took a few hundred rounds to get broke in and smooth out. Very nice little pistol and fun to shoot. Keep it clean and enjoy it.

Yeah, great little pocket protection. Like someone already mentioned- clean & lube it before your range trip.

Very good handgun and mine is reliable. I've never had a problem and I even stick it in my pocket once in a while when I run out to the store.

Welcome! I also own a Bersa Thunder .380 I have put hundreds of rounds thru it with out a hickup.

I have the CC model and it has been 100% reliable and has become one of my favorite carry guns. Enjoy!

Lock-Tite the grip and sight screws. Other than that enjoy the heck out of it. They're great guns and you can't beat the price.
