A Picatinny rail at the muzzle accommodates aftermarket laser sights and high-intensity lights, which could be particularly appreciated if you’re defending home and hearth. The frame is CNC machined from a tough, lightweight alloy, while the slide is blued steel. The rail machined into the aluminum frame makes it easy to add quick-targeting accessories like lights and lasers. This is a feature I appreciate-it aids a natural two-handed hold that helps stabilize your aim. The front of the triggerguard is squared off and grooved to provide solid seating for the off-hand’s index finger. While this control is located on the left side, it can be easily switched to the opposite side for southpaw operation. The magazine-release button is also ergonomically located, and you can reach it without altering your grip on the pistol. The thumb-operated safety and extended slide release are ambidextrous and easy to reach. RELATED STORY: Bersa’s BP380CC – Easy-To-Conceal and Great for Self-DefenseĪ hand-filling, checkered polymer grip coupled with finger grooves up front made this gun very comfortable in my hand. Reliability is important on a pistol designed for self-defense, and my Bersa came through with flying colors. The sample I tested digested four different factory loads without a single hiccup. It’s unusual for any new pistol to run flawlessly right out of the box, but the Bersa managed this feat. This provides highly reliable feeding and dependable ejection.

Forget carrying it in a pocket, this gun cries out for a holster.Ĭovert Nine The Thunder Pro Ultra Compact features a comfortable, hand-filling grip with finger grooves, making it much easier to stay in control during rapid-fire strings.īersa’s Ultra Compact incorporates an improved Browning Petter barrel-locking system. It fits very comfortably in my hand and aims very naturally. The Thunder Pro Ultra Compact is less concealable than some pistols but provides a reassuringly solid grip and a “big gun” feel. The full-sized Thunder Pro 9mm has a barrel that’s an inch longer and weighs in at 31 ounces.
It’s bulkier and heavier than many of the 9mm “pocket pistols” on the market. Measuring 6.5 inches in length and tipping the scales at 23 ounces, this is not a petite firearm. I’d hate to try fully loading the magazine without some mechanical help. A mechanical loader is a big help when filling the magazine. The gun comes supplied with two 13-round magazines. That aids in control, making it easy to hold the gun on target.
Unlike some competing 9mm compacts, the Bersa offers a solid, hand-filling grip, thanks in part to its double-stacked 13-round magazine. Having said that, I was immediately impressed with the fit, feel and quality of this gun. Bersa guns are manufactured in Argentina, so they may not be all that familiar to American shooters yet. I recently got my hands on a Bersa Thunder Pro Ultra Compact in 9mm.
Quality varies with the price, and some simply feel better in the hand than others. There is an unimaginable number of compact 9mm pistols on the market.
