From Argentina. Thanks dor the Bersa review!!! The last weapons factory in Argentina, who struggle many years to survive in the ups and downs ans downs and downs of argentinian economy Today thanks to the access to USAs market they doing much better
Colion. I´m from Mendoza, Argentina. Bersa it´s the biggest firearms manufacturer in Argentina and the second in Latin America. I know from a good source, close to the company that a lot of resources and ideas were put into the TPR series, along with the BP series were designed thinking about the american shooter, the needs and the preferences. Thank you for review. You got a lot of fans here in Argentina.
Viva ARGENTINA!!! Bersa is the most beautiful design with the most ideal features: It's DA/SA trigger function and weighting is ideal, the safety/decocker is ideal and not obtrusive yet fully employable the way i prefer. I'm happy that Bersa rejects the silly glocky trigger tabs and the 1911 grip safety. I hope they stay away from any magazine disconnect nonsense. Bersa accuracy, style, design, features, and the way she feels in my hands draws my heart back to Argentina, especially VG. I so dearly miss mi muher hermosa. TAM... siempre.
Bersa may well be the most under appreciated, under rated firearm on the market. I own the Thunder. 380, the BP9cc, and the TPR.40 All solid, reliable, accurate, great triggers out of the box, and each one under $350. Bersa is PHENOMENAL. Seriously.
I like this guy... He's articulate, intelligent, forthright, and does NOT come across as a gun nut, paranoid prepper, gangsta, or any of the other negative conotations that are often applied to gun owners. I'd like to see him review one of the SCCY .380s soon. Not all of us can afford Glocks & SIGs etc
Who else wants to see Colin review antique guns, like a once every 3 months kind of deal? His style and personality would be pretty cool, especially his jokes and quips embedded into the history of the gun.
I don't think Bersa gets enough recommendation for their firearms. The very first firearm I purchased was ultra-compact Pro 40. It gave me absolutely no issues and was absolutely the one of the most accurate guns I owned.
I think you are exactly right. I have abersa ultra compact pro 9mm, it's the first 9mm I bought and that was 7yrs ago and carry with me every day in my big truck
I saw the Bersa TPR9c yesterday for the first time. My brother purchased one and had already been to the firing range with it a few days before. He's retired from State law enforcement and has owned and fired numerous firearms in his career. He said he was impressed with this Bersa TPR9c and really liked the trigger pull. I'm definitely going to look for one in the next few weeks!
My first pistol I purchased at 58 yo last August was this Bersa TPR9c. Looked at several at the store including Glocks, but for the money loved the weight & feel in my hand. & came with 2 mags. Having fired it, I have to agree with Colin for all the aspects of this model with recoil, etc. I have no remorse with this pistol.
Good review. "Age of striker fired pistols", I get that. My first semi-auto pistol experience was in the U.S. Army Military Police, the 1911a1. It was difficult to shoot at first but once it became familiar I enjoyed carrying and trusting it for the next 4 years. It spoiled me to the hammer semi-autos, as well as my trust in the service revolvers in my years in Police work. Double action..no sweat. Striker guns are ok., but I don't have the same feeling (trust?) with them. I think the Bersa TPR9C will be my next gun purchase.
Good to see you finally discovered one of the most overlooked pistols on the market. Its no CZ or H&K, but its a great gun. I just wish some of the holster manufacturers would make some good holsters for it. It also has a frame lock that lets you disable the pistol if you need to secure the weapon someplace where you can't maintain positive control. I've never used it, but its a feature you didn't mention. Safety/decocker, block safety, and frame lock. Lots of safety features. It has good sights, but if you want, you can upgrade to Sig sights. The trigger is awesome, specially when you compare it to any other pistol in this price range. 13 +1 isn't bad in a compact pistol... I'd love to see an in depth review on this one.
I just got a tpr9c with the threaded barrel. I put a hk mini comp on it. I also took it apart and did a light polish on the trigger, sear, slide, hammer where it touches the slide, and hammer spring bar. I cut 2 coils on the hammer spring, and replaced the trigger spring with a beretta 92 spring. The beretta spring look pretty close to the stock one, and goes right in. It's a bit thinner, and helps lighten the trigger pull. I did all this before shooting it. Took it to the range today and compared it to my beretta m9, with the 16 lbs hammer spring. Man was I surprised! The trigger was super smooth, reset very short, and with the recoil was less than my beretta! Maybe the mini comp helped with recoil, but I was surprised with how little recoil it had. It's my first bersa, and wouldn't hesitate to get another! Great value for the money.
I bought one just over a week ago and after a little range time with it I just absolutely love it. My Shield9 sits on the shelf now and this now my carry gun.
@Christopher Moore Very reliable and what makes BERSA special is that they render lifetime warranty, therefore if you might ever have any issue then the HQs in Argentina will react as soon as possible ask for the gun to be sent and then return it to you with the issue solved
Great review! This is the first time I watch one of your videos, and I really liked the originality. Walking around, with a cameraman following you makes it as if we are walking next to you and it really gives the idea of the shooting, by watching it from a lot of different angles, by watching the recoil, the aim, the sound. Also you make good points on things that are not often talked about such as the hammer making you bleed (in this case not), or the ergonomy of the safety/decocker or the other levers, describing that sometimes those levers can get in the way, but in this case nevertheless being of size, they show you where tu put your palms and thumbs with flow. And many other points than you don't hear in every video around, so congratulations man! Really enjoyed the video, good luck!
Had one of a dozen other companies released this pistol everyone would know about it by the end of the day. Bersa is the best kept secret in the gun world. Very nice gun & thanks for bringing it to our attention. I'd seriously consider buying this one if I could still buy ammo. Maybe in a few years.
Colion, I liked this review more than your previous ones. Usually you review with the voice over, talking about an Italian sports car. This was more straight forward, hitting the talking points, while having first impressions on the range. You also kind of had that Wesley Snipes swagger from Blade or Demolition Man as you were testing all of the attributes of the pistol and comparing it to other similar firearms.You also gave an impression of Robocop or ED-209 where you are marching for a destination, only turning at the waist to put lead on targets that present themselves.
Thank you for reminding me how much I love my Bersa TPR9C. Everything you said is true. The trigger is amazing, the reset is in the ballpark of my Legion and it carries perfectly in G19 holsters. It's a great gun. Again, thank you for the needed reminder. (...a problem with having a large collection)
Nice review, the BPR9C is a great and very affordable pistol. I've had mine several months and have about 600 rounds through it. The gun is solid, accurate, has a decocker & a safety, all things I like. I know that SA/DA Steel and alloy guns aren't for everyone but if it's a style you like check out the TPR9C.
I've had a Taurus that sucked which the slide cracked on while shooting. Not the only I've seen do it to but Ive seen real good ones as well. This was 10 years ago so can't comment on the new ones.
My bersa thunder 380 sucked balls. It broke and had to ship it off to get fixed. I sold it when I got it back. The shipping fee to get it fixed wasn’t even worth its resale value.
Awesome brother, traded my Beretta 92fs, to big to heavy to CC. You are completely right! It’s a cross between a Sig and Beretta. Thank you and God bless you brother.
I love this gun. Ive owned it for 3 years and I'm still watching reviews on it. I put a set of truglo fiber optic night sights on it. Makes it even nicer to shoot.
I bought a Bersa Thunder in .380 a while back and loved the safety features (which were comparable to Beretta's 92F in placement and operation) and totally agree that Bersa produces a pretty fine / smooth pull in the Double Action mode, I also like the sights on the gun, they are compact and quite easy to point with. Have to admit that TPR9c really looks like a very nice, relatively compact 9mm. Bersa's are usually pretty reasonably priced too. Great video!
The rail isn't proprietary and it uses Sig sights so you can upgrade the sights. It weighs about as much as a Glock 19. I think it just seemed heavier because it balances differently since it's da/sa. Bersa doesn't get the attention that it had in the earlier part of the new millenium but they do actually make very nice guns. I'm kind of a stubborn "if it isn't American then it's shit" type of a guy but I used to own a Bersa Thunder 380 and loved it and I'm thinking I might pick one of these bad boys up. I love the look of it.
Prototype 777 I’m more of the type of “If these guys don’t know how to wage war, they don’t know how to build a tool of war”. That rule of thumb has held up for me. I had a bersa thunder in .380 a while back. Every other mag was a FTFeed. Then something in the trigger broke around 400~ rounds. If you like them, more power to you, I think Bersa is charging too much for their guns, which as far as I know, aren’t in service with anyone
Elliot White Hi....sorry you had that issue with your Bersa. Please give us another shot one day. Eagle Imports backs the firearms with a lifetime warranty. Bersa has come along way over the years. If you are ever at the NRA show, stop by and say hi and check them out!
Elliot White When did you have the Bersa 380? Some of the older models that came out before the new millenium were made of a cheaper pot metal type alloy and were known to have some issues.
I've 700 rounds out of my Thunder and it's never malfunctioned. I CC'ed it for a year without issue. Per Wikipedia, a number of military and law enforcement forces have included Bersa 380's in their inventory, including the Ecuadorian Air Force.
Nice for Bersa to get some some. The Thunder 9s and up are severely underrated. I owned the .45 and it shot remarkably well for a compact .45. Good vid btw.
"I don't do a lot of hammerfired guns..." is translated by TH-cam captions as "I only get a lot of hemorrhoid runs." 😳 Yeah... not Closed Caption's finest hour. 🤣
Thanks for the Info! After I saw your review on the TPR9C I went out and bought one as my first firearm. I can't wait to see what all the fuss is about.
I have a Bersa 380cc and it is an amazing gun. Small enough for easy carry, very accurate and dependable. If the TPR9c is anything like it, I will be very tempted to buy one.
You may notice Colion may not hit the target the first time - But Man he seems to Nail on the second - and hey with a hand gun - look at the distant he is shooting from with a hand gun and still hitting the target - Good Job Colion - and yes I have 2 bersa's - 9mm and a 380 - I prefer metal guns
I know how you like a sweet trigger. It's a budget gun but if you can get your hands on a Bersa bp9cc I think you would fall in love with it. A first mag video on that gun would be awesome! Love all the content keep up the good work sir!
Agree with your assessment of this pistol - Bersa stepped it up on this one. It even fits perfectly in a DeSantis SuperFly pocket holster. As you noticed, it's the perfect weight as it provides enough heft for recoil reduction but is light enough even for pocket carry. For me, the very short reset and the ambidextrous decocker/safety make it ideal for urban carry.
Man if Colion is reviewing it and liking it, now I need one. Been on the fence with it, herd lot of good but people complain about unreliability with older models
I hope you decided on it, I own 3 myself, and not one issue with a total of 5,000 rounds through them. My first is the BERSA THUNDER 9 UC Pro, my 2nd is this compact Brother Noir is reviewing, and my latest is the BERSA Pro XT, she's a full size 7075 T6 aluminum frame with stainless steel slide and forged inners (no cheap metal here) now the XT is as accurate as a laser because it has the adjustable rears with fiber optic front sights, and she comes with 5 x 17 round magazines made in Italy, ..all I can say is WOW.
I have one and I absolutely love it! I agree with everything this man is saying. It's my favorite, but I don't use it as my daily I have a G2C for that. Because if I have to use it, it will be confiscated and I would rather have a cheaper one for that to happen to than my Bersa! Stay safe everyone!!!
Respect your channel, subscribed keep up the great work. By the way big Taurus, Walther, Bersa, Colt, and last but not least Ruger collector. 71 and still running guns....
Colion, love your videos. My first semi-auto was a Ruger P95DC that had very similar bells n whistles. Cant wait to try one of these-- I love Bersa's stuff... Thanks for the excellent review!!
GUNPOWDER PHILOSOPHY You won't be sorry. Its everything the reviews say it is. The TPR9C is my carry now. I have a Taurus PT111 G2C as a back up and its actually a reliable and lot better pistol than its price reflects. The smooth flat shooting TPR9C though is way better in just about every way especially the outstanding trigger. The full rails and the great trigger make it smooth and flat. It is very close to the same size as the G2C and only a slight bit heavier.
I absolutely adore this gun. I bought one of the first ones in Kentucky, and I can carry the gun anywhere from 1 o'clock to 4 o'clock and it disappears (especially now that I'm losing weight). I have a tendency to let my hand ride up and get hammer bite, but I'm hoping (again) that the weight loss is going to lower that chance too. The only "regret" I have is not waiting for the stainless version, and I may go back and fix that eventually.
Hola tengo mi Bersa TPR 9 y es un arma muy buena, le confio mi defensa personal, me encanta, me siento seguro con ella, y me gusta como dispara, muy excelente Saludos desde Argentina
I just remember you describing the TRP 1911 trigger as “It’s like pushing on glass. And then the glass breaks.” Just hands down 1911 feel is amazing. But I’m sure most decent hammer fired guns will have a good trigger. But the 1911 is what some of our glock guys chase for a trigger feel.
colion excelente video, y sinceramente te envidio sanamente por disparar en un lugar tan bueno.. con respecto a bersa, tengo varias y jamas me fallan, tenes que probar las nuevas como bpcc9 xt.. estan a la altura de las marcas mas renombradas. y un pequeño detalle: tienen garantia de fabrica de por vida. un abrazo colion desde argentina
When it comes to low budget guns, it is really hard to beat Bersa. I used to carry a glock, but needed something that was easy for my wife to handle and more concealable. I switched to a Bersa Thunder years ago, basically a Walther PPK knock off, and haven't looked back. I'm going to check out these newer ones for something with a few more round capacity
You have the thunder plus in 380 which is 15 rounds. Albeit the grip is thicker, but if it is for you then that might work. If not, this same TPR9C holds 13+1 in 9mm which is more than enough to get the job done imo
If you ever watched the video of that officer who blowed is thingy off with his Stryker fire I think a hammer would tend to grow on you because you’d know when the hammer is down and can still be double action on first pull for just such safety. Just 2cents, nothing more.
Have the original Thunder 9 UC . same gun ...they updated the slide and frame look..which are interchangeable with UC....best trigger out there....smooth...with fantastic reset.Colion is right....full length guide rails are awesome too....
I would say the reason people don’t like the “chamber indicator” is because 1: it’s worthless in low light situations. 2: can give you a false indication ie brass shaving inside or debris blocking 3: you’re doing a press check anyway, therefore eliminating the need for it. Just my opinion and information that I have gathered from military and law enforcement experience.
Were are you man. I need of your videos and your opinions on what's going on. Give is some law break downs in laymens terms. Keep up the good work and you are the man that got me motivated to keep the movement alive.
I love my bersa 380...most accurate gun that I own. I'm looking at this gun, I like the features, I've always like double action, single action and bersa has great triggers. Good review, I like his style
I wanted a TPR, but was much easier to get a Taurus. The Taurus is OK, it feeds, extracts and ejects; always. But... maybe the trigger is bad or it's just my hand that hates the ergonomy of this pistol. I still want to try a Bersa. I don't like when I have no option to lock and keep the hammer cocked, but... some guns work this way.
I've always been cool with bersa that was actually the first gun I ever bought from a store when I turned 21 it was a black with gold lol it was a nice Lil 380 but back then they're reputation was horrible for cracked slides or frames
Colion, could you review something in 10mm in the future? Enjoy the videos, and thank you for working with the NRA to defend our god given right to keep and bear arms.
This seems like a fair carry gun, only problem is that it is hammer fire, so most people who carry striker fire weapons may or may not have to buy a new Hollister.
From Argentina. Thanks dor the Bersa review!!! The last weapons factory in Argentina, who struggle many years to survive in the ups and downs ans downs and downs of argentinian economy Today thanks to the access to USAs market they doing much better
Bersa are excellent firearms. Those who know, know that. Great value.
Heh.. and I would like to buy this gun in Czech Republic, but all sellers list it as unavailable.. :(
@@xmeda I hope you can get one ...but...dude ..you have CZ ... almost as good! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Best wishes

Never buy a taurus pistol hahaha

Bersa may well be the most under appreciated, under rated firearm on the market. I own the Thunder. 380, the BP9cc, and the TPR.40
All solid, reliable, accurate, great triggers out of the box, and each one under $350.
Bersa is PHENOMENAL. Seriously.
@E ZA lol thanks friend
I agree, my opinion it is the most underrated gun on the market!!
You just made my day with the tpr40 mention, I wondered if it was chambered in a 40 or if 9mm was the only option. Thank you sir!
6/19/2023, going to pick up a Bersa TPR9c this and the cheapest I could find in my area now is $449 .....
Yup got a TPR9 last year. It was perfect for me. The full "ambi" controls is great as well with me being a lefty.
I like this guy... He's articulate, intelligent, forthright, and does NOT come across as a gun nut, paranoid prepper, gangsta, or any of the other negative conotations that are often applied to gun owners. I'd like to see him review one of the SCCY .380s soon. Not all of us can afford Glocks & SIGs etc
I swear by Bersa, just picked up the TPR9c myself, freaking love this gun. My opinion the most underrated guns on the market..
Same
Its a duty pistol for me. Long trigger pull but a light trigger pull as far as lbs go with a short reset
I have 2 Bersa's the 380 is awesome, the TPR9c trigger angle / position sucks. Change that and it would be great too.
Are you still rockin the TPR9c after a year? Any problems with it thus far?
@@ubangiestomp Let me just say ," I freaking love this gun!!" No problems whatsoever !! I would put it up against any firearm on the market..ANY..

Logan Brown,
Check out Forgotten Weapons on TH-cam. When it comes to older guns Ian is the man. Berretta gave him access to their collection.
Colion Noir Thanks for the response, I don't know how I didn't know about that

People underestimate the Bersa, it's much better quality than other budget guns such as the Taurus which sucks.
Humberto Martinez don't count Taurus out man. I just got my first-the G2C and it's great for the price I paid of 169. I used to scoff at them too
TH9c aint a bad gun at all though - I just prefer metal for only 2oz more weight.
I've had a Taurus that sucked which the slide cracked on while shooting. Not the only I've seen do it to but Ive seen real good ones as well. This was 10 years ago so can't comment on the new ones.

Elliot White When did you have the Bersa 380? Some of the older models that came out before the new millenium were made of a cheaper pot metal type alloy and were known to have some issues.
I've 700 rounds out of my Thunder and it's never malfunctioned. I CC'ed it for a year without issue. Per Wikipedia, a number of military and law enforcement forces have included Bersa 380's in their inventory, including the Ecuadorian Air Force.
Nice for Bersa to get some some. The Thunder 9s and up are severely underrated. I owned the .45 and it shot remarkably well for a compact .45. Good vid btw.

LOL!!! That didn't take long for this comment to appear. Love it.
Best big arm post 😂
Been lifting?
What's a a noir and why is it swollen?
I see Colion has been hitting the weights. :)
brabham74 hitting the weights, but not the targets. Ha!

Ptah Williamson no thats sweat from that hot ass sun
Suspect...
Dude was getting chunky and had to do something. I think I made the “CN getting chunky” comment a year ago can’t remember the video.
"I don't do a lot of hammerfired guns..." is translated by TH-cam captions as "I only get a lot of hemorrhoid runs." 😳 Yeah... not Closed Caption's finest hour. 🤣
...no, wasn't a joke... Captions really did that.
Excellent video! You always do a good job of presentation. You speak well and I try to catch all of your videos. Thanks.
Thanks for the Info! After I saw your review on the TPR9C I went out and bought one as my first firearm. I can't wait to see what all the fuss is about.
Nobody commenting on the fact he's doing a review on a affordable (budget minded) gun?
I have a Bersa 380cc and it is an amazing gun. Small enough for easy carry, very accurate and dependable. If the TPR9c is anything like it, I will be very tempted to buy one.
Great video my friend! I have a TPR9 and is a great service gun!!! Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
I'm happy and proud you are happy with one of the best things from my country! Awesome gun!
You may notice Colion may not hit the target the first time - But Man he seems to Nail on the second - and hey with a hand gun - look at the distant he is shooting from with a hand gun and still hitting the target - Good Job Colion - and yes I have 2 bersa's - 9mm and a 380 - I prefer metal guns
I know how you like a sweet trigger. It's a budget gun but if you can get your hands on a Bersa bp9cc I think you would fall in love with it. A first mag video on that gun would be awesome! Love all the content keep up the good work sir!
I have a Thunder 9 Ultra Compact Pro as a carry. Very similar, absolutely love it!
Agree with your assessment of this pistol - Bersa stepped it up on this one. It even fits perfectly in a DeSantis SuperFly pocket holster. As you noticed, it's the perfect weight as it provides enough heft for recoil reduction but is light enough even for pocket carry. For me, the very short reset and the ambidextrous decocker/safety make it ideal for urban carry.
Man if Colion is reviewing it and liking it, now I need one. Been on the fence with it, herd lot of good but people complain about unreliability with older models
I hope you decided on it, I own 3 myself, and not one issue with a total of 5,000 rounds through them. My first is the BERSA THUNDER 9 UC Pro, my 2nd is this compact Brother Noir is reviewing, and my latest is the BERSA Pro XT, she's a full size 7075 T6 aluminum frame with stainless steel slide and forged inners (no cheap metal here) now the XT is as accurate as a laser because it has the adjustable rears with fiber optic front sights, and she comes with 5 x 17 round magazines made in Italy, ..all I can say is WOW.
I have the Bersa Tpr45c. Love it, I carry it everyday. If you gonna use the 45 I recommend that you use 185 grain ammo. The 230 grain is very snappy
I have one and I absolutely love it! I agree with everything this man is saying. It's my favorite, but I don't use it as my daily I have a G2C for that. Because if I have to use it, it will be confiscated and I would rather have a cheaper one for that to happen to than my Bersa! Stay safe everyone!!!
If they ever made a TPR10 I would buy instantly.
My firat and still my favorite pistol os the Bersa Thunder 9 (pre pro model) same features. I've put close to 10k through it, and it's still hungry.
Respect your channel, subscribed keep up the great work. By the way big Taurus, Walther, Bersa, Colt, and last but not least Ruger collector. 71 and still running guns....
Love the sound at 5:23 🤣🤣🤣
I'm glad someone else heard it lol
Colion, love your videos. My first semi-auto was a Ruger P95DC that had very similar bells n whistles. Cant wait to try one of these-- I love Bersa's stuff...
Thanks for the excellent review!!
I keep thinking the same thing! Loved my Ruger P89DC Stainless. This would be the absolute ideal gun if it was Stainless.
Love mine Colin, had it nickel plated and it became even smoother!
My next pistol 😎
GUNPOWDER PHILOSOPHY You won't be sorry. Its everything the reviews say it is. The TPR9C is my carry now. I have a Taurus PT111 G2C as a back up and its actually a reliable and lot better pistol than its price reflects. The smooth flat shooting TPR9C though is way better in just about every way especially the outstanding trigger. The full rails and the great trigger make it smooth and flat. It is very close to the same size as the G2C and only a slight bit heavier.
RB M I have the pt111 as well damn great pistol, I actually prefer it over my Sd9ve.
I just ordered the full size model with the threaded 5" barrell.
I absolutely adore this gun. I bought one of the first ones in Kentucky, and I can carry the gun anywhere from 1 o'clock to 4 o'clock and it disappears (especially now that I'm losing weight).
I have a tendency to let my hand ride up and get hammer bite, but I'm hoping (again) that the weight loss is going to lower that chance too.
The only "regret" I have is not waiting for the stainless version, and I may go back and fix that eventually.
Hola tengo mi Bersa TPR 9 y es un arma muy buena, le confio mi defensa personal, me encanta, me siento seguro con ella, y me gusta como dispara, muy excelente Saludos desde Argentina
I just remember you describing the TRP 1911 trigger as “It’s like pushing on glass. And then the glass breaks.” Just hands down 1911 feel is amazing. But I’m sure most decent hammer fired guns will have a good trigger. But the 1911 is what some of our glock guys chase for a trigger feel.
Highly recommend you do a review on the Bersa BP9cc you will fall in love with the TRIGGER.
colion excelente video, y sinceramente te envidio sanamente por disparar en un lugar tan bueno.. con respecto a bersa, tengo varias y jamas me fallan, tenes que probar las nuevas como bpcc9 xt.. estan a la altura de las marcas mas renombradas. y un pequeño detalle: tienen garantia de fabrica de por vida. un abrazo colion desde argentina
When it comes to low budget guns, it is really hard to beat Bersa. I used to carry a glock, but needed something that was easy for my wife to handle and more concealable. I switched to a Bersa Thunder years ago, basically a Walther PPK knock off, and haven't looked back. I'm going to check out these newer ones for something with a few more round capacity
You have the thunder plus in 380 which is 15 rounds. Albeit the grip is thicker, but if it is for you then that might work. If not, this same TPR9C holds 13+1 in 9mm which is more than enough to get the job done imo
Great revue ! Enjoyed your presentation. Will be looking for more from you. Keep up the good work !
I remember when Versa was crap! Which wasn't all that long ago! Looks like Versa came a long way in a short time! Good job! Nice Gun!
Bersa 380 has been my go to gun for years very reliable and never had one to jam on me.
Mr. Noir has a talent for mixing the shooting and patter in well-crafted segs. Where did he find all those tires?
what an awesome range! I'd love to go to a place like that
That is one bad ass range...and a great review. Love your style!
My little sister has a bersa walther clone, its a nice little pocket pistol.
If you ever watched the video of that officer who blowed is thingy off with his Stryker fire I think a hammer would tend to grow on you because you’d know when the hammer is down and can still be double action on first pull for just such safety. Just 2cents, nothing more.
If he hasn’t yet, I’d like to see Colion try the Bersa Thunder
Tadicuslegion78 Colion shooting the BP9CC would be more his thing...
I own the Thunder pro 9. I liked it at first but after about 1500 rounds the slide lock never locks back on the last round anymore.
@@jasonjulian1 do you own the bp9cc? I'm deciding between bp9cc and tpr9c.
I have one and it's absolutely 1 of my favorites
Have the original Thunder 9 UC . same gun ...they updated the slide and frame look..which are interchangeable with UC....best trigger out there....smooth...with fantastic reset.Colion is right....full length guide rails are awesome too....
Thought this was an interesting gun, until I saw how it broke down. Too easy for my liking. Good video and first mag though!
Funny to watch how you got excited about the reset and started shooting right away haha. You can tell who loves guns!
There's almost no reset at all that's amazing
I own the older version in 45. The UC pro. Love it. It's my EDC gun. And the rail accepts standard picatinny accessories.
I would say the reason people don’t like the “chamber indicator” is because
1: it’s worthless in low light situations.
2: can give you a false indication ie brass shaving inside or debris blocking
3: you’re doing a press check anyway, therefore eliminating the need for it.
Just my opinion and information that I have gathered from military and law enforcement experience.
Were are you man. I need of your videos and your opinions on what's going on. Give is some law break downs in laymens terms. Keep up the good work and you are the man that got me motivated to keep the movement alive.
I love my bersa 380...most accurate gun that I own. I'm looking at this gun, I like the features, I've always like double action, single action and bersa has great triggers. Good review, I like his style
Looks nice...nice recoil...nice open trigger gaurd too
I wanted a TPR, but was much easier to get a Taurus. The Taurus is OK, it feeds, extracts and ejects; always. But... maybe the trigger is bad or it's just my hand that hates the ergonomy of this pistol. I still want to try a Bersa. I don't like when I have no option to lock and keep the hammer cocked, but... some guns work this way.
"Damn... Holy Shit!" Haha, that is a good sign for the firearm lmao.
Thanks. I like safety features. I got rid of my handgun before moving (long story) and was looking to replace this. This looks like my #1 choice.
I bought this one as my first fun. So far, great pistol man. Great pistol. Yeah, Glocks are good, but for me, is this one.
The tactical and CCW gun reviews are great, but seeing Colion do reviews of older milsurp guns would be awesome with your perspective
I've always been cool with bersa that was actually the first gun I ever bought from a store when I turned 21 it was a black with gold lol it was a nice Lil 380 but back then they're reputation was horrible for cracked slides or frames
NickelPlated .45onMeAtAllTimes give it another try....I promise you that Bersa does not have that issue these days
I can't wait for the High Point 45 review!
Just ordered one...thank-you for the review!
Colion, could you review something in 10mm in the future?
Enjoy the videos, and thank you for working with the NRA to defend our god given right to keep and bear arms.
This seems like a fair carry gun, only problem is that it is hammer fire, so most people who carry striker fire weapons may or may not have to buy a new Hollister.
That is one badass gun range! The gun is pretty good too.
Looks pretty nice. I'd consider getting one if I hadn't just bought a CZ PCR to fill that exact same role.
CZ PCR is longer and taller...
I have a full size waiting on me at my local gun shop, can't wait. Taking it straight to the range when I get it.
suns out guns out
Slick looking pistol. Great video.
Time to revisit the Bersa TPR9c
Won’t regret it. Had mine going on 3 years now
I would have liked to see you shoot a close target, with the short reset, and light trigger, I'd like to see how fast you could dump a mag.
Please start giving us more frequent reviews. I don't hear from you enough lol. Keep up the good work boss.
I had the tpr9 I like that gun so much iv been hunting down the tpr9c for a yr. I finally found one
I've had a Bersa for a long Long LONG time. 1991. Not as finely finished as the BIG names were back then but less than half the price.
I have a Thunder 9 and LOVE it! A little heavy, but doable and like your TPR, ergonomic design.
