For all you gun experts out there.
A retired U.S. Marshal friend of mine wants to sell me her Bersa Thunder .380 for 250.00. Comes with 3 mags,ankle holster and 2 box's of ammo. Her primary carry gun was a Kimber Custom. She will not sell the Kimber.
Judging from gunbroker listings it seems to be a good price. Is the gun good,bad,ok.....

Only problem I ever had with it was the grip screws loosening up and a drop of lock-tight solved that.
I had one for a year or so, it was reliable enough, though not a gun I'd stack my life on.
The price is probably reasonable with the extras if it's in very good condition, but you can get the pistol alone NIB for about $260

Never heard of this gun. Any good?

She is also selling a Colt Pony, Iver Johnson .380 for 250.00.

Of the two, I would go with this one.

I'd get both
It's good looking and for the extras, you'll do well for that price. You didn't say if it was Duotone or Nickel or what. Three mags though is good, since stock they only come with one. Two boxes of .380 are also worth about $30 too so you're doing well.
I say buy it and enjoy!
It's as accurate as I am too...
I shoot the Buffalo Bore hard cast out of it and I don't find the recoil too bad.(300 ft/lbs...damn near a standard 9mm)
(edit: I fixed the pic so you ladies can see it on your smart phones....[8D])
I had a Thunder Nine. Was a nice pistol.
There is nothing wrong with a bersa thunder. I had one and gave it to my dad to carry and it shoots great.

I carry a 40 cal bersa fire storm and its never jammed or falterd in anyway. I also have a friend that carrys a 380 bersa and it too works flawless. Under powerd cal.though!!

You volunteer to get shot with one since it's so underpowered.
I have the CC version and I love it.

This picture isn't very clear, would you happen to have a larger, higher resolution photo?
How many other pistols are there with a fixed barrel?
(edit: I fixed the pic so you ladies can see it on your smart phones....[8D])
Now fix Nicco's and Pistollero's.[;)][:D]

I can't.
They have to do it...[:I]
If I had to pick one or the other, I'd buy the Iver Johnson Pony in a heartbeat. I believe these were produced after Colt dropped the Pony. The current iteration of the design is the Sig Sauer P-238.
If I had the money, I'd buy both.
Good luck. [:)]
That fixed barrel makes a difference in pinpoint accuracy for sure.

Not alot that I can think of off hand
CZ82 and 83
HK VP70Z
HK P7 series
Walther PPK (which seems to be what the bersa was modeled after)
Colt Woodsman et al
I haven't checked all of them yet, but most of my revolvers have fixed barrels too.[;)][;)][;)]
