Opinions?

I'm currently looking at a Thunder .380 for use once I get my CCP. Real lightweight and slender and .380 is a pretty good caliber for concealed carry.

I am familiar with that pistol but don't have any personal experience with it. I know a coworker who has one and has no complaints.


Personally I would not choose that weapon. There are just too many better alternatives both in better firearms and better calibers. The .380 caliber is not an ideal self defense round and lacks the knockdown of the larger calibers.

You can find equally compact pistols in the 9mm caliber which is a much superior round than the .380. The .38 caliber would also be a better choice if you want to look at some airweight revolvers for concealment.


Bottomline is that it's your life and I would recommend shopping around for a better weapon and caliber IMO.

I like a 380 for cc. That caliber paired w Hornady Critical Defense ammo will put a hurting on a mf'er.


I bought the Bersa Thunder cc for my wife. It's a pretty nice gun. Good deal for the price. However I'm planning on trading it in soon to get her a revolver; she doesn't practice enough for a semi- auto.

You can do better than a Bersa, my friend.
