Couple of years ago I bought a Bersa Thunder CCW.Took it to the range and had many,, many FTT and FTF.Kinda forgot about it till this past Monday,Figured I was limp wristing it. (I'm 76).So on Monday I went to the range with shooting gloves and a firm resolve to be the rock of Gibralter. Try as I may it still refuses to fire a complete magazine without a FTF.Thank goodness for my Sigs P232 &229."Ireland forever"

    I think Sigs are made in Switzerland, though.

    Interesting. My very first handgun was a Bersa .380 bought in an alley in downtown Atlanta in 1988 (from a friend of mines father who was an FFL and met us after class on the Georgia Tech Campus....) I still have it and still shoot it regularly. I also have three of their Thunders in .45ACP They also get exercised on a regular basis. None of mine have ever failed to go BANG.

    I have to admit that I have some other guns that I shoot more accurately but the Bersas are reliable and fit my hands well and I am very comfortable with their operation in a CCW situation.

    Would I use it in 3 Gun? probably not, but I could if needed.
