Well, heck. I bought a Colt Government Model .380 Pocketlite in '92, thereabouts, for a backup gun to a 1911 or G21 or BHP. It was OK, carried it a lot for many years, but...had to carry with the hammer down due to no grip safety, and thumb safety I could not count on. Thumb cocking an auto for first shot under duress did not appeal to me, so I started using a Mak that came my way. It was kinda heavy, only 7 rd capacity, and aesthetically not all that pleasing. A while back I started hearing good things about Bersa's Thunder from a guy who shoots his a lot, more good things from others, and then discovered the Thunder Plus and decided that if one is going to carry a .380, might as well be 16 rounds in the hand than 8. So, in July, I got the brushed nickel finish with black highlights Plus (a goldang good lookin' pistol, if you ask me), a couple extra magazines and a Fobus holster, and I like it a lot. You all know how a Browning Hi-Power feels in the hand, just about perfect...this Plus has the same feel. I've run Wolf, Buffalo Bore, Federal factory loads through it (nearly 500) and just under a 1,000 rounds of 20 year old cast bullet hand loads without a single bobble, jam or hesitation (no cleaning, either). It just works. Like the .327 Federal, it just sips powder, and a pound goes a long way. I have, in fact, divested myself of all my 9mms, dies, and brass (gave it all to my son who likes his 9mms). I feel in no way under-gunned with the Thunder Plus and 46 rounds of hot .380 ready to go.
Really fun on steel, too.
