Heresy, I know! but...
I carry a Bersa Thunder 380.
I've had this pistol for 18 years and have run about 6000 rounds through it.
It shoots flawlessly.
Fixed barrel accuracy, fairly small and light weight, almost straight-in feed
angle, excellent ergonomic fit (even in my big hands), SUPERB trigger, and
one of the best factory warranties in the industry.
But my trusty little friend is getting a bit old and I'm shopping around for a
worthy replacement. I'm looking to upgrade some in the process.
So I selected a new Bersa Thunder 380 with the satin nickle finish and Crimson Trace grips.
Google around for reviews of the Bersa line. from .22 to .45, they are great
guns and excellent values.
Really hard to beat - for the bang or for the buck.
