I'm not in the market for one, either.

Can't say I would want one.

True confessions moment:

Although I do not like the Bersa, and most crude guns, I am "guilty" of ownership of a Soviet TT33. The gun is crude but sturdy. Further, the surplus ammo is cheap and fun to shoot.

 I love bottleneck cartridges and the 7.62 round is LOUD and super fast. Strictly a plinking gun.

Would I ever carry the TT33? Not on my life.

Guns like that are probably responsible for the Cold War. I think most of us have warts and rejects in our lives be it guns, girlfriends, or roads not taken.

I always thought that the Cold War was caused by girlfriends with warts.

I have seen a Bersa .380; remember it as a Thunder .380; just didn't recall the name, Bersa.  However, doesn't change anything; don't want one.    :)  Look at that price!  Buy It Now, $239.00.

I thought most of us concurred that the Bersa subject is a closed case. That photo is blinding.

I guess I just reopened it.    ;D   I had said in an earlier post that I hadn't seen a Bersa; just didn't recall the name; do recall Thunder .380; just clarifying.    ;)

Thanks for sharing your enlightenment. It is difficult to average eight posts a day for 365 days a year without reopening something once in awhile.

You're welcome, Tom.  I do like to correct something when I know I made a mistake.    ;)

Actually I see don't see much purpose for 380's anymore  anyway with few exceptions due to strict criteria.

Such as super light or super small.

And only two gun types fit that.

Seecamp

Keltec and clones.

Otherwise the R9 fills 98% of my pocket carry needs.
