BERSA THUNDER REVIEW: CCW DISAPPOINTMENT The Bersa Thunder is a budget .380 ACP pistol that bears a resemblance to the classic Walther PPK. With its all-metal construction and available variants, it can seem like an appealing concealed carry option. However, as this review will show, it falls short in some key areas that become dealbreakers. Let's take a closer look at the Thunder's background, features, and performance to see where it excels and where it disappoints. Specifications and Background The Bersa Thunder is an all-metal DA/SA pistol chambered primarily for .380 ACP. Available capacity is 8+1 rounds. It has a 3.2" barrel and an overall length of 6". Manufactured in Argentina and imported to the US by Eagle Imports, there are over a dozen variants available. Most differ only cosmetically, but some have more significant changes. The version reviewed here is the Concealed Carry or "CC" model. As the name suggests, it has some alterations intended to improve concealability. Howev
