I love me some Bersa Thunder. Here's the only real problem I have with Bersa as a company; the magazines. Their mags are IMHO, stupid expensive considering how reasonable the guns are. Pro Mags for them? Those you can find but they're hit and miss with function. You'd think that as a company that's now been importing the gun parts from Argentina to have them assembled in New Jersey since 1995 already, they'd get a clue that generally most people (American people at least) like a few magazines on hand and generally appreciate being able to walk into a retailer and see a 7 or 8 round Bersa mag hanging on a hook in its factory wrapping. Look on line? "Out of stock. Out of stock. Out of stock." It would almost be laughable if it weren't so frustrating. 28 years they've been selling the same gun or an iteration of it that uses the same magazine type as always in the single stack .380 and still with the magazines as scarce as hens teeth.
You ain't wrong brother
I'm Buying My Very First Bersa Thunder 380 Next Month I'm So Excited!!!!!
Great video gents! I just bought one brand new a few days ago. My 2nd thunder 380. The 1st one shot very accurately. I can’t wait to shoot the new one.
Combat's barrel has a micro polish with deeper rifling. Bersa says it is more accurate. I'm not sure, personally. In the market for a CC pistol and I've gone from the APX, the P320 and P365, S&W, and now I'm here at Bersa. Shopping is a pain, but I do a lot of research before I buy! Thanks for the video.
From P365 to Bersa Thunder ? That is interesting!
@Gieszkanne Ended up going with a micro 9 from Kimber. I did a lot of searching and it met the criteria I had for a CC pistol.
@@krow7402 9mm from such little thing isnt it snappy? And SA can you hit the safety 100%?
@Gieszkanne it's a 1911 design, I carry hammer back and safety on. The safety is surprisingly easy to manipulate, no problem. It just fits my hand perfectly. Your milage may vary, however.
I shot my Thunder .380 today with fiochi 95 gr and 95 gr critical defense. As I suspected, the weapon was very accurate and there were no malfunctions. Very happy with my Bersa thunder 380!
Take a look at Civil Defense ammo by Liberty. Shoots like a nail gun
Bersa is a little wonderful piece , I had bought one from a cool Mormon kid a while back and has been great , gave it to my dad as a gift it's his EDC pistol now and he loves it. I switch from The Bodyguard and shield depending on attire.
Motivador! Gracias por mostrar estas bellezas nacionales! Un gran abrazo desde Argentina!!
I got1️⃣of these on Stash👍💥👍 mine is Flat Lite Gold with the wood Grips. I love it, carry it all the time loaded with Federal Hydra-shocks, never had a issue with it yet!!! Caught it REAL Cheap from my local Gun Store. So glad I didn't Pass up, best under $250 Gun I ever bought!!!!
I didn't even know they made them in gold, just looked it up. It bet it looks great with that wood grip on there. Now I want one...
@@BuckeyeBallistics IKR 😂😂 I wouldn't sell mine for double what I paid for it!!! I love that little Gun!!
Thanks for the video... I'm likely going to pick one up soon
👍
Hi friend, the magazines are change on the pistols . Sory my english is not good i am from Argentina.
Los cargadores de la pistola son intercambiables . Ala pistola de 7 tiros puedo colocarle el cargador de la de 15
Pero sí hay una Thunder plus combat que ya viene con cargador de 15 verdad?
Good video - light on BS, strong on everyman basics. I own both the CC and Combat models. Love 'em both. The Combat is my EDC in warm weather. Seriously considering a Thunder Pro Compact. Sold on Bersa products.
Thanks for watching. We also shot the Thunder 9 Pro and the Mini 45 Firestorm on the channel. I like their guns, but the Thunder .380's have to be my favorite.
Ordered mine, can't wait !
always wanted one of these Bersa pistols ...
Same- so I got one 😁
@@BuckeyeBallistics , looks like I’ll be looking for one asap.
Good luck, market is terrible right now (prices).
Love mine 😁. All the bersa pistols are good. Very reliable and they will eat whatever you feed them 😁.
You eat whatever I feed you 😂
😂😂😂😂. Hell yeah. Time for you to come back over and cook some more steak 😁
They don’t do well with Monarch ammo.
Never heard of it
@@BuckeyeBallistics Good. Avoid it at all costs. I put it through my Berra at one point, years ago, because it was cheap and it fouled my pistol up so bad it started having malfunctions. It was a pain to clean afterwards too. Completely BLACK cleaning patches.
The slide on the Combat is designed with a slightly lower pitch..
Good shooter and goodshooter. Thanks
The 8 round mag has 7 sight holes in the side.. plus the one on top is 8. Try again.
Minor oversight = super douche comment? Sorry your life is so horrible...
@@BuckeyeBallistics I guess you've grown accustomed to hearing from your fan boys, who also can't tell a 7 round mag from an 8 round mag. Maybe when you grow up, you'll be able to handle criticism like a man.
Like I said, sorry your life is so shitty that you gotta be such a douche. And criticising random people is for children seeking attenting, so take a look in the mirror. You're so disgusted with your self that you have to take it out on others. By the way, nice youtube channel with 50 subscribers; maybe if you weren't such a miserable (explicit), yah think? We're done here bud, not worth anymore of my time...
@@BuckeyeBallistics. I hope your millions of subscribers see how you respond to someone correcting you. Let's see how they like you now. arrogance is ugly .
This channel feels self perfect. Can't take corrections. Pathetic. I'm outta here
EDC for sure.
I’m bout to pick up a bersa firestorm. Hope it holds up
Also the beaver tail is smaller on the combat.
Great video as I just got the one that you got used and only comes with one mag but oh well but really like this pistol as I want to get a second one. I was looking at magazines at gun mag warehouse and they have 7 round n 8 round mags for this gun the .380 so I'm guessing the 8 will work. You mention the Bersa plus so if u see one get it as there's not many of those. Take it easy n thanx
Thank you
Can you swap base plates?
Great !!!
Just bought a Bersa Thunder today and shot it for the first time. My mag doesn't say how many it holds, but it easily holds eight in the mag and one in the chamber. Seems to be very accurate too with a very good trigger. Very smooth and easy to shoot.
I have 380 plus. 15+1. Little fatter but worth it👍🏼
Yeah we want to get that one next.
Yeah I’m digging the Combat Plus.
I bought the Bersa for my CCW!
I just bought the nickel Thunder 380 and I love the James Bond look and feel. Very easy to take apart for cleaning, lube and ramp feed polish. I bought three Mec-Gar 8-round mags as well. The sights are a little small. Taking it to the range and I hope it shoots my EDC ammo- so I can add it to my EDC rotation.
I liked the small sights because it's easier to be more precise/accurate (for me)
Yup getting a double stack combat as soon as I get some cash the only drawback I can see is it appears the double stack mags are only available threw bersa and pricey
I always wanted to try one of the double stacks...
I bought a few new pistols for the channel but not the Bersa (not yet)
I wish they melted down the beaver tail. It digs into my side so I can't carry it. I ended up selling it off because of that which sucks because I loved it. But damn was it painful to try to carry. Sat down one time with it iwb and that was it. I was like nope this gots ta go
My P238 is really comfortable to carry
Try OWB holster. I never carry IWB.
Only problem carrying OWB is you are making yourself a target to a criminal with a firearm...
@@BuckeyeBallistics if a criminal has a gun, you’re already a target, visibly armed or not.
Generally when it comes to carrying a gun, if it digs into you, doesn’t sit right, or is otherwise generally uncomfortable, the problem isn’t your gun, it is your holster.
It is a lot cheaper and easier to try out and replace a holster than it is replacing an accurate and reliable handgun you enjoy to shoot.
Please don’t tell me that the .380 isn’t good enough for self defence.
OK, I won't....this time.
Good video guys.
Thanks
Will the combat 8 round flush magazine work with the original thunder? Can you post a quick video if its not to much trouble?
Yes it works in either gun. I would absolutely post a video for you as I have done for others in the past, but I do not own the Combat nor do I have any .380 ammo right now. But trust me it works. They also make a 9 round mag for them. Eagle Imports is the company that imports and sells the guns and mags.
@@BuckeyeBallistics sweet. Thanks for the info. I just needed to know about the fit and look and how it functions. I was scared to buy one.
