The Bersa Thunder 9mm - Full Size:
This absolute darling of a pistol is another in a long line of quality firearms manufactured by Bersa. This pistol is a DA/SA semi-automatic chambered in 9mm. It holds 17+1 rounds (matched only by Glock 17's for capacity) and it, possibly, the highest value pistol you can buy, period.
When I say value, I mean you get a well made pistol with a steel slide, built in rail, de-cocking lever, thumb safety, an easy take down and field strip process, a 17 round magazine, all for about $400.00. Now, I'm not going to say this is a 100,000 round gun, it may be, it may not. However, I can just about guarantee that you will not wear this gun out unless you run thousands of rounds through it day after day after day.
It's a sizable pistol but it doesn't feel bulky or heavy. The heft is enough to let you know you have a pistol in your hand and to manage the recoil, but not so much that it becomes burdensome.
All in all, it's an accurate and enjoyable firearm for a bargain basement price.
I couldn't recommend this more...
