    Bersa Thunder is good as well as Accu-tek HC-380.But why .380acp?You can get a Kel-Tec P11 in 9mm and its smaller than the Bersa and holds 15+1 with Smith 5906 magazines and its only around $240.00.Go with a Kel-Tec P-11 and get a couple of 5906 mags you wont be sorry you did.

    ameriskin-
    I would reccomend a Makarov, It fits your criteria and run $100 - $150, lots of surplus ammo, mags and accessories around for them.

    leeblackman?
    I'm having a little trouble with your list! Question was asked for inexpensive and concealable ... how does the Barret M82A1 get in there?

    ... there are so darn many models to choose from!

    The bersa's are great guns for the money, I have one. But my conceal carry gun is a glock 26, the 17 & 19 clips work fine, annd I bout it used for a little over $300, and it's one of my favorite pistols to shoot, I can hit the X a lot more than with the bersa.

    Kel-Tecs are last ditch,do or die guns they are good to about 10-15 feet.You have one of the most carry friendly pistols available.What kind of deal did you get?Dont forget those Smith 5906 mags and the pocket clip.Good buy.

    A fellow Officer friend of mine bought a Bersa and could not hit the Broad side of a barn with it.He sent it back to Eagle Industries,and they sent it back with a target they had tested it on but,it didnt help accuracy alot.And I thought the gun felt cheap.As for Accutec Im not a .380 fan but it has got good reviews,and I like thee looks of it.But I like the Keltec 9mm idea.


    Good Luck.
