@@martads3207 I stand corrected with regards to Aegentina. As to the rest, I was trying to emphasize that he wasn't an Italian, but he was a native of South America who advocated for socialism as a form of government. The Italians did not export communism/socialism to Argentina.
They seem like a great option. Especially over Taurus or Canik. The slide grooves are very Beretta. The slide is very Sig. I'm kinda ticked about the trigger on the Bersa. I dropped some money with LTT to give my PX4 the same performance and a $400 Bersa has it.
I’ve had a Bersa Mini-Firestorm for 10+ years. It has never failed me, no feed issues, and is as accurate as my Glock at the range. Good brand, in my opinion.
cost over product quality and general prestations? the same? or win the Bersas guns for a longer way compared against the Glocks, the Sig Sauers, the Berettas, The CZs, the HKs, etc!!! oh and dont forgot, in OD GREEN or CERAKOTE (FDR), Is a hand weapon with real military standard!!!. Iam from Argentina and I am a proud of this product from my country!!!.
@@godzillasimpson8357 labor over there is probably different. if you let gun manufacturing done in the country where I was born with proper Western quality control and supervision, Vietnam, guns would be much cheaper since the labors are cheap
One thing I'm not sure if he mentioned, but the magazine release button can be easily detached and moved around for someone who is left handed. The weapon is completely ambidextrous. Bersa is one of the few things that makes me proud of my country.
I have the Bersa 380, Thunder Pro 40, and the compact .45. I call them practical working man guns with excellent quality and reliability. I've had mine for 10 yrs+ and have never had a problem. They all have an excellent trigger.
A couple of days back a friend took me to the range... I fired a makarov, a system 1911, a Glock 40 and a Springfield... I choose the Bersa TPR 9 all the way without looking back. I'm in a hurry to buy 1 for myself.
@Zach cash I am seeing the threaded barrel version at my gun store here in N.H. This gun except with the barrel protruding what appears to be probably 3/4", they say it's a 5". Outside of that I can't tell you much. I imagine the Bersa website or of course a store would have much more info.
I've carried a bersa thunder for years with no problems at all. It's one of the most underrated pistols that there are but for 20 years I have trusted my safty to this firearm. Very accurate and reliable. I carry the compact and can't wait to get the new one
When Mr. Firearmguy reviewed this very same pistol I wrote a mini-review for you US guys out there, and I'll add a little bit to what Sootch said to complement the review. 1. I have put around 1200 shots through this pistol without a single malfunction, save for 3 or 4 primer failures, 1 with an old round of Winchester white box ammo and 3 with my own handloads (4.2 grains of Winchester 231/crappy copper plated bullets/crappy russian produced primers). From that 1200, around 300 were factory ammo with the other 900 being handloads. 2. The finish on mine didn't ever look as good as the one shown in the video, so you lucky sons of guns might be getting a slightly better finish on yours, than we do here. There is actually a local myth down here about BERSA having two different QC lines, one for export and another for the local market. 3. I've found the front sight to be just a little bit bigger than I like 'em when going for precision shots. I shoot paper targets, at an indoor range, and about 15 yards and when I aim small, like just shooting and aiming for that very same hole; I lose sight of that target when focusing on the front sight; but that's also my own technique and sight getting in the way. I've seen an instructor splitting a paper target on the 2nd shot fired from my own gun at 7 yards. 4. The gun is designed for ambidexterity and I know that for a fact; because I shoot it with both hands just the same. I mostly shoot this gun left handed, but easily switch to a right handed grip (which I use to practice with my 10mm EAA Witness) without difficulty. 5. I freaking love shooting double taps through this pistol. I couldn't believe myself the first time I shot the full 18 rounds and every two holes were touching each other. With the very short reset and light trigger pull you can shoot very fast out of this pistol. The trigger, however doesn't breaks as crisply as I'd like. 7. Something I really don't like about the firearm has mainly to do with the finish, and how fast it wears, specially on the top of the chamber and the frame; and that's only from transporting it to the range and firing (it's almost impossible to get a carry permit as a civilian in Argentina, however you can carry all you want within your property). 8. I've found out that the magazine springs may develope some issues after time, when you try to load them; so nothing that you would experiment when carrying or firing it, but I had one of them load only 5 rounds before the spring got stuck (maybe it developed a burr somewhere that caught the cartridges or the spring), but after tapping it a little bit I was able to keep on feeding it. 9. Talking about the magazines, the magwell is beveled which adds to an ease of reloading when inserting the mag from not so perfect angles. 10. It's a great starting gun. I took a friend who had never held a gun before, and after 20 minutes or so he looked as if he had at least a couple months handling the gun, operating the controls, gripping, shooting and aiming. 11. BERSA's warranty is something to behold, I can't speak for Eagle Imports holding up to their end, you may find some info out there about some warranty points, but for what I've heard and read they're outstanding and very easy to deal with. Hope this helped.
I have the Bersa Thunder Pro 9mm UC and I have the Bersa TPR9 on layaway at Bud’s. The Bersa TPR9 will be my third Bersa. I like them, good quality and good feel and don’t cost an arm and a leg. Keep your Caddy... I’ll take the Chevy.. Thanks for taking the time to make this great video.
I've always really liked the products made by Bersa. The TPR9 in particular is comfortable, accurate, and very very reliable. Feature rich, high quality manufacturing and (Great point here)... inexpensive. The true is that this gun shoots like its a high value piece. Those are the main reasons why the Bersa TPR9 (IMHO) is getting really popular here. Great review!
Reminds me of a S&W 59 and Browning Hi Power at a glance. That isn’t a complaint. I’m very fond of them. If it’s built to the same quality as a Thunder380 it’ll be awesome to have
I know some folks feel differently, but I gotta say I've always really liked the offerings from Bersa. Every one I've ever fired has been accurate and reliable....at a price that you dont hafta take out a second mortgage to buy! I may just need to get me one of these(you can never have too many 9mms)! Have an awesome week brother Sootch, best wishes n such, Mike.
Bersa is very reliable and hardly any maintenance needed. Just a good ole cleaning and good to go. I have had a thunder 380 for 10+ years and no issues. This one has my eye
I truly appreciate a learned fellow like you yo share your very informative video reviews of the firearms that really matter. I appreciate the background information that you always share and make me informed. Personally, I think you have one of the best if not the best firearms insights and reviews and I am very glad to have subscribed to your channel. I am just starting out and have yet to purchase my first firearm and I am leaning more toward the 9mm caliber handguns and I think I prefer the all metal iteration of the handgun as opposed to the polymer frame but again, speaking from a newbie standpoint, I will stand corrected and I welcome any comments to that as well.
That sounds like an great gun and Bersa is getting really popular too. I like Bersa guns, there priced right and everybody can own one. Another great review Sootch00 and always long live the republic bro.
I have wanted one of these for over two years now. Finally the planets aligned. Found one on Gunbroker (New) and had the money to buy it. Picked it up today at my local gun store. Nice, not disappointed.

I own 2 Bersa pistols 40cal. I've had for 18yrs and 380 the last 6 yrs. The only problem I had was I shot the 40 so much had to replace the spring. Both are flawless shooters.
Bersas are incredibly reliable and high quality firearms for the price! (PS: you may be interested in playing a Tango as background music when reviewing an argentinean gun 😉)
I never thought about Bersa. I will now. Seems like there quality has gotten better. Seems like they thought of everything when it comes to this weapon. Thanks for the video.
I was blown away when I learned they had an aluminum alloy (over plastic) frame AND FULL length slide rails. Not one polymer gun I've seen has EITHER of those features, let alone both, regardless of price. I plan to verify this with my gun store but no video review I've seen has it. Especially at the price.
thats a good looking pistol and I like the way the slide release and safety look plus the super easy takedown. Trigger seems nice too. For the price I would. certainly consider buying one.
Nice Review, This pistol looks to be a slightly modified/modernized version of the Walther P88 design. which was an expensive but very high quality, accurate pistol.
The best value in pistols, in my opinion. They should have a better reputation than they do. Of course, the gun snobs don't like them. I own three. The .22 I have needs hot ammo to function properly (Mini Mag, etc). My other two have never malfunctioned with any ammo. Never.
A lot of features in this weapon even has an accessory rail for 400ish I do not know how they did it. It looks like it would fit the hand like a cz and everything this weapon was designed for is tactical and ease of use. Bersa does make quality weapons not sure why folks ever hate on them.
I have the FIRST Thunder 9 model and it is truly amazing. They tried to copy the attributes of the p5/88. I vividly remember the NRA shooting test of the 'new' double action pistol from Bersa. They did a side by side accuracy test and ,drumroll, the Bersa beat the 88 though not by much. I have a buddy who has a mint condition 88 so he and I shot these pistols side by side, one mag each. Hands down the Thunder 9 had a better trigger,like alot, therefore subsequent accuracy was much better with the Thunder 9. Great Video!
I like everything about the TPR9, and the comments indicate an enthusiastic following for Bersa's firearms. I'm a little concerned about that takedown, though... it seems TOO simple. If that were all it should require to remove a slide (without the possibility of it ever happening unintentionally) why doesn't every manufacturer make use of this ultra-simple design feature?
I have a TPR9C with a threaded barrel. I figure a holster for a TPR9 would be what I would want to encase the entire pistol. I'm having trouble finding a holster that is dedicated the this Bersa pistol. Any suggestions? As a side note, I am impressed by this pistol.
Great review! I always enjoy your videos and have learned so much from you for a while now. I haven't shot a Bersa yet, but I have held one at a gun shop and it seemed like a quality build. Based on this video I may look for this model on GunBroker. Thanks 👍
I popped into a local gunshop today. The young salesman immediately reached under the counter and showed me a Canik knockoff of a berretta 92. He mentioned the Taurus pt92 and said it was cheap andcnot good. He doesn't realize Taurus bought the machines Berretta used to make the 92s. They were rxact copies made on the very same machine lines. When I mentioned I have a Bersa Tpr9, he shoved the canik under the counter. Looked at me and said "That's real cheap!" And he then walked away from me. He was done with me. Lol! I've never go back to that shop. Fuck em!
What is causing the flat shooting? Is it the weight, the size or both? It really looks nice and the price is awesome. I really like the ease of the take down. I recently purchased the FNS9 and it took me a while to figure out how to take it down. Thanks for sharing another beautiful gun with us!
"Muy bien, Sootch" A very good video, on a well made pistol. I especially like the intro and exit music, very geographically themed! I prefer Double Action, hammered pistols. And they are hard to find, in these days of a striker fired dominated market.
I don't know how warranty is in USA, but in Argentina you just go to factory with the gun and they repair it, and if something is wear the just change it, and that all, no question is asked.

Bersa guns are so underrated, for their price range they're often one of the best options out there.
Most of people who reject bersa is simply because it's not a european/North american company.

I picked up the TPR9C variant. I'm old-fashioned, I like SA/DA and I like my thumb safeties.

I remember when the original Thunder9 came out back in 1994. Metal frame, 15+1. Really nice.
They came back, but with a poly frame. Are you saying that these are alloy frames?! Awesome!
The Spanish music in the background is pretty cool, to go along with the review of the Argentinian firearm.

I'm not absolutely positive, but I believe it can only be taken off with the magazine released.
That would be correct. I own 4 Bersa’s including both the TPR9 and TPR9C. Both amazing pistols and just unbelievable quality for the price
Nice Pistol, I like alluminum frame and hammer. Great review .

He mentioned the Taurus pt92 and said it was cheap andcnot good. He doesn't realize Taurus bought the machines Berretta used to make the 92s. They were rxact copies made on the very same machine lines. When I mentioned I have a Bersa Tpr9, he shoved the canik under the counter. Looked at me and said "That's real cheap!" And he then walked away from me. He was done with me. Lol!
I've never go back to that shop. Fuck em!
Nice music! ive been waiting for this review. Will you also review the compact version? Thanks
Thanks a lot for the review!! Best regards from Mendoza, Argentina.
Excelente video Saludos
From Argentina 🇦🇷
This an awesome pistol and shooter. I would love to get my hands on one. Love my Bersa .380.
Nice touch with the Argentina music
Thanks enjoyed your review of this model. Thinking about buying it over the CZ Shadow 2
What is causing the flat shooting? Is it the weight, the size or both? It really looks nice and the price is awesome. I really like the ease of the take down. I recently purchased the FNS9 and it took me a while to figure out how to take it down. Thanks for sharing another beautiful gun with us!
I have the older version. Love it!
Pretty looking gun and great review. Keep up the good work!
Now this pistol gets mad style points!!!!!
"Muy bien, Sootch" A very good video, on a well made pistol. I especially like the intro and exit music, very geographically themed! I prefer Double Action, hammered pistols. And they are hard to find, in these days of a striker fired dominated market.
Perhaps it is time for my g19 to go bye bye. Love this weapon. Thanks for the excellent review.
Ditch the Block.
Thanks Sootch, another great review. Keep them coming.
I don't know how warranty is in USA, but in Argentina you just go to factory with the gun and they repair it, and if something is wear the just change it, and that all, no question is asked.
ACCURATE, SMOOTH, GOOD PISTOL.
I like the way you review all firearms
I bought a Thunder 40 many years ago. The Thunder 9 and 40 are copies of the very expensive and hard to find Walther P88.
Have a Thunder Pro. Awesome pistol. Love Bersa!
