Difference between Bersa and Firestorm 380s?

I've heard that the Bersa is a really well made PPK clone. Then I read somewhere (probably here, cuz I did a search) that Bersa and Llama got together and was renamed Firestorm. Now the Firestorm 380 looks like it has a better grip and it comes in some different finishes. I also saw a Bersa Thunder 380 Deluxe that held 10 instead of 8 rounds. Can someone clear up my confusion? Thanks.

Also, is the action, Double/Single, or just Double?
 
SGS imports the FireStorm line. The guns are made by Llama and Bersa. The .380s are Bersa guns identical to their Thunder380 line. The Mini FireStorm 9mm is identical (in function and internals) to the Bersa Thunder9. The only difference being size and the finger grooves. The .45s are the Llamas.

Oddly enough, my Mini FireStorm 9mm is stamped 'Imported by R.S.A. Enterpirsise, Inc. Ocean, NJ' on the slide instead of SGS. Paperwork was SGS, though. Frame is stamped 'Industria Argentina' as with the Thunder9.

As far I know, the .380s are DA/SA. I don't recall Bersa ever making a DAO .380.
