The Bersa Thunder .380 was produced and introduced into the market in 1995 by the Bersa SA Corporation out of Argentina. In addition to the Thunder .380, Bersa also makes a number of other Thunder models including the Thunder 32, the Thunder 22, and the Thunder Mini 45.
Bersa decided to chamber this model in the .380 caliber in light of the popularity of this round internationally. A number of countries have legistation and laws that restrict the caliber of handguns that civilans can possess. In most countries, the .380 is the upper limit of these restrictions.
The most common complaint with the Bersa is the grip size. People with large hands sometimes complain that they have a problem getting a full grip on the weapon. One solution for that issue involves the use of a +1 or +2 mag extension that adds length to the overall grip.
As the Thunder .380 is a popular model, holsters for it are fairly easy common. A number of people seem to think that the Bersa Thunder will also fit a holster for the Walther PPK or PPKS, but that isn't the case.
The Thunder .380 makes a good choice for both concealed carry or home defense. It's light enough to carry for long period of time and has enough firepower to deal with most self defense issues. It's also very affordably priced at a sub $350 price point.
