She finds it a dream to rack and feel . I carry a Springfield Armory V-10. IWB in a Multihoster or a Remora (works for pocket, too), it hides very well. I looked carefully and tried both, as well as the S&W Bodyguard .380.. Small, easy to carry and just plain sexy, I have to say it's my favorite so far. That's right, of the 4-5 that we have , the Bersa has never ever had a problem and it was under $200 out the door. And like many of us, we have/or have had a bunch of weapons..some very nice..and some inexpensive. Its a common belief that pistols chambered in .380 ACP are great for newer shooters because the 9mm-short (as its sometimes called) is so small that guns shooting it are super low in recoil. Great review on the 380's. I have no qualms on the 380 as a self defense weapon and am a strong believer in shot placement. So, .380 will do the job. But, if you can't find a reliable handgun, what's the point? w209 primers ensures greater sensitivity and more reliable firing in all guns, controlled blends of primers with the right weight with consistency in both size and quality precision measurement and tolerances to the height of anvils and the ability to withstand extreme temperature and humidity. Well said Chris. Love it so much bought the CM 9 big brother for IWB holster use. RM380. It just fits perfectly in my hand. Anyone have feedback on the Bersa Thunder 380? By comparison, the UXP still worked fine in 9mm, but he was able to find dozens of 9mm hollow point rounds that expanded consistently and only cost a fraction of the price. This 380 caliber test gun was slightly used, had modest bluing wear on the sides of the slide near the muzzle, and a few other signs of light wear. Mostly carried in a Desantis SuperFly pocket carry. prints like a wallet. While larger .380 pistols such as the Walther PPK/S, Walther PK380, Bersa Thunder 380, and Glock 42 dont have this problem, the truly small pocket pistols such as the LCP and TCP most certainly do. If youre looking for an easy to take apart gun, opt for one of the others on this list. I prefer the LCP II because it doesn't have the long double-action pull. The Remora works great! The trigger pull is long but it's not a gun for more than 25 feet anyway. Part of my problem though was my huge hands. Amen! Otherwise, I REALLY like the bodyguard and would feel 95% to 99% comfortable with it. Just wanted to say, I own 4 different caliber Taurus pistols and I am very satisfied with my 357 mag, 1911 Commander 45 acp, and 38 special.
