The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - My Review: Walther PPK/S vs. Bersa Thunder 380

Good review, much more detailed than mine:

I had Interarms version of PPK/S - it was not a good shooter for me: would not reliably feed some good quality ammo (many JHP, some FMJ using two factory mags). No problem for me w. hammer/slide bite, though. I sold it.

Much later I got a Bersa Thunder .380 - love it: great price, unfailingly reliable, accurate. True, finish on PPK/S is better than Bersa - but not nearly enough difference in finish to make up for reliability and price superiority of the Bersa.

For the same money I'd take a Bersa over a PPK/S; given that the Bersa is much less costly than the PPK/S, it is no-brainer for me.
