Hi Guys ...
I started rebuilding my previous firearms collection with a nice SKS. Now that I have that squared away my next order of business was to pick up a sidearms for daily carry. I ran around and tried out a lot of different models of handguns but a large majority of them were either too big and bulky for what I was looking for, or they were too small for my big hands and felt like tinker toys or derringer'ish to me.
I've heard a lot of good things about the Bersa Thunder so I decided to check one out as well. I am glad that I did because it's exactly what I was looking to start out with.
It's compact yet just the right size for a daily concealed carry in the small of my back especially when i Ride'. I know every gun is a little bit different and they all prefer certain types of ammo over others, but I was wondering if anyone has had any particular types of ammo that have been known to cause issues with these ?.
I've done a lot of reading on them and checked out a lot of reviews and videos as well and they seem to have a really good track record. Even Hickok45 was impressed .
If you guys have any suggestions or thoughts let me know. the only time I'll probably use it is plinking & at the range. As usual, it's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it .
Btw, I have the Bersa thunder plus model with the 15 round double stack mag.
