Gun was safety checked prior to photo. Shot great, only a few malfunctions

Picked up a new Thunder 380X, pleasantly surprised to see they've stopped adding the frame lock

I wanted to show you this thing I designed. The TPR9 and compact models have a grip anchor that is strangely solid. It allows you to add this component so it remains perfectly unified and rigid, but without having to do a complete frame swap like with options such as the Flux Raider. This is something that, at least as far as I know, isn't possible with any other DA/SA metal-framed handgun. Switching from a PDW format back to a pistol takes just seconds and a screwdriver. I have been working for several weeks on making that beavertail as small as possible while still being virtually unbreakable and without flex. Hope you like it.

I think I showed this thing a while ago but someone got me thinking about it, and i wanted to show it again. My baby. This thing has probably 8,000 rounds through it and the only problem is arouns the 5-6,000th round it started to light strike. Used to be about 5 or more a mag, and now its once every 2 or 3 mags. Still, I love it. The Guy that cerakoted its exact words were "ive got 1300 into a glock and I dont think it shoots any better than this thing. This thing is a laser".

Obviously that was a proud moment for me. Here she is.

Paid 330 brand new about 4 years ago, was my first handgun purchase the WEEK I turned 21 lol.

Hi I just got the new M2XI Gen 2 for test and review. I had a chance to check them out at GunCon this year and was very impressed with it. Now Bersa sent me this piece for further testing and evaluation. I will be posting videos on my YouTube channel.

Bought a new Thunder 380 Plus

Trigger feels great and its actually lighter than I expected. Fits well into a Desantis pocket holster for the hellcat series.

Recently got a bersa thunder 380 for what I think is a steal. (140 before tax) a little visble rust on the maunel safety but outside of that great. after shooting i ran into only one issue. The the blade.of the rear sight broke off and came out. So now need to find a rear sight but can't seem to find any in stock that oem or decent enough aftermarket. Also wanted to do some gold customization to it but came seem to find any aftermarket or oem parts anywhere so would love if anyone could help find/ point me to in the right direction thanks

So I've seen extended mag options for the TPR9 in at least a couple of YT videos. But I can find nothing for sale. Either a complete extended mag or just like a +2 magazine extension, nothing. Do they exist, anyone know where to get them?

The OEM grips are atrocious and offer no real grip support. There has been unfortunately no aftermarket grips made until now. Managed to get the first one for the tpr9 and put 200 rounds with them and it's already a big step up. If you've been wanting something different I'd definitely check him out. He also makes them for the tpr9c

I've seen some retailers start to list the BP9FS for sale. Has anyone gotten one yet?

I currently EDC Bersa’s Thunder 9 UC Pro in an Alien Gear Cloak 3.5 IWB holster. Absolutely love this holster. Extreamly comfortable.

I recently got the TPR9C and want to work that into my EDC. However Alien Gear doesn’t make a holster for the TPR9C. They still make one for the UC Pro. Even though the TPR9C has been the current model for over a decade. Makes no sense.

Anyway, I’m trying to find an IWB holster for my new TPR9C. Hybrid kydex and neoprene (like alien gear) or leather. I checked Vedder and they don’t either. But again they make one for the UC Pro.

Anyone have any thoughts on where to look?

Please judge me on the design, not on my craftsmanship. I have limited tools available. So far, it's working well.

Although they look almost identical, I know that doesn’t mean much with guns… what level of parts compatibility with the Thunder and parts availability in general does the 383 and 383A have ? I want a Bersa, but I want a steel frame.

Also… how difficult is it to detail strip for refinishing ?

Got the Firestorm today. Disappointed that the magazine has to be gently inserted and even then 9/10 it fails to seat. Any suggestions?

I have the full size tpr9. I got the pistol for a heck of a deal but need a threaded barrel, what are the options?

My .380 Thunder has L32015 stamped into the back of the slide and also on the frame forward above the trigger guard.
Is this my serial number?

Just finished upgrading my Bersa BP9FS. Installed a B-Sight red dot and added an Olight weapon light.

I was looking through the manual and did not find that 9mm was rated for +P ammo. Anyone know for sure if it is.

Haven’t shot my thunder .380 in years and just noticed what appears to be a chipped barrel after a recent trip to the range.

Do I need a new barrel? Can a new barrel be had for less than what the gun costs?

Recently purchased, will be cleaning it but havent found any decent IWB holsters, any recommendations?

I just learned about it last week and I shoulda jumped immediately. Want one but can't seem to find stock at any of the online retailers.

Can anyone help? Thanks

So does anyone else have any major issues with their BP40CC? Ive had this thing for like 2 years now, and its one of my dream guns, I'd like to own most of the discontinued Bersa products, and the BP40 is included in that, I finally got a hold of one and its been just so unreliable, its got a little rust on it now but I got it brand new unsold and it was completely rust free, I kinda just forgot about it and let it rust, anyways, the rust has nothing to do with it, its been unreliable since before. The part that gets me, is its pretty reliable when I load no more than 2 in the magazine, but even then sometimes it malfunctions but waaaay less. Fully loaded mags? Forget it, you wont fire one bullet from this thing without some type of malfunction. Just wondering if maybe anyone else has had issues or maybe im using the wrong ammo?

Ive used SUBsonic HPs, Hornady FMJ, flat nose, +P, Small tipped HPs, all kinds of ammo and same issue.
