Re: WTB Bersa Thunder 380

This project is on the backburner. I took her shooting and rented two different Bersas. Now she's not sure she likes them either.

She didn't like it.

I'd agree, except for some of us a carry gun has to be DA or DA/SA.
I have 3 Colt 380s a Sig P238 and a bunch of other SAO 380s that I dearly love, but I rarely carry them.
I also have owned two Bersa 380s. Mine worked OK, except that every time I fired them, I would fire a 2nd round on the recoil. Had to do with my hand ergonomics guess, but it did not work for me. I don't think a woman with smaller hands would have that problem.
My wife has very small hands. She loved the Bersa Thunder. It's the only gun she's shot that she liked enough to say I'd like to have one. She telecommutes, and now that I've convinced her she needs to have a weapon handy for when she's alone, I'm pursuing this before her ardor cools. We're going to the range this weekend to shoot one again, so she can be sure that's what she wants.

Thanks for all the help and offers.

Might want to check on this -- I know my Bersa 380CC is DA/SA
Weird. According to Bersa.com, it's a DA only pistol.

Re: WTB Bersa Thunder 380

Thanks for the offer. The Concealed Carry is a DA only model. The Thunder .380 is DA/SA, which is what she has shot before and liked a lot. I'm not sure I'd want to get her a DA only pistol. I'll have to talk to her about it.
