I have a Bersa .380 that my wife keeps in her truck. It's very accurate and reliable. I've killed a lot of rabbits and can hit beer cans consistently at 20 yards. It's a pistol I don't mind leaving in the vehicle. I can count on it and if it gets stolen I'm not out much.

I'm thinking about getting a Thunder 9. I love the Bersa 380. Never a failure and I like the SA/DA thing

Bud's has them for $380. Free shipping and no tax. That's not a bad price.

I'm pretty sure there are some deals flying around on xd's probably not far off from that.
Better gun, more aftermarket , better resale

I've got the .380....Haven't ever regretted buying one! I caught 'em on sale before they got popular.

I've never found anyone who thought a Bersa Thunder wasn't worth what they paid for it, including me.

You can include me in that one as well. I speak only for the 380, no experience with the others.

Every Bersa i've ever owned or shot has been reliable and accurate. Yes, i've seen the Youtube folks bad mouth them, never been my experience though and that's thousands of rounds and over 30 years of shooting them.

The Bersa Thunder 380 is what prompted me to look into other full size Bersa pistols. Their lineup is pretty impressive.
