If you're looking for something comfortable to shoot for yourself and the wife, I'm a big fan of the Bersa Thunder Plus .380 with 15 rd capacity for people who want a near full size pistol with the higher capacities, but low recoil. The Bersa's are well made and the price new if you buy online is under $300.Classic firearms has:

Does the double load of ammo make up for the lighter weight of the alloy frame on the 92s? Nobody cares too much how much it weighs if you have to drag iron (or alloy) and use it -- it's the weight hanging off your belt all day, every day, that's the major concern about weight. How much does each weigh with a full magazine aboard?Ibmikey said:Comparing a BM and 92s for carry purposes should recognize the BM is smaller, thinner, heavier and very easy to grip, point and fire with great sights. The 92s on the other hand is much larger, a third wider, lighter (aluminum frame) big fat grip containing magazine with twice the ammo and tiny sights.
