Bersa Thunder 380

[soapy]

My friend is moving to New York and has a Bersa Thunder 380 Duo Tone with an extra mag.  He offered it to me for $200.  It looks mint.  What say ye?

 

Thanks

Pretty decent little pistol-I had the satin nickel model and stupidly sold it to a buddy.The darned thing was an accurate shooter with mild recoil,and it always worked.

For 200.00 you should buy it regardless of actual need..... I've had and still have them in my collection they are fairly good guns...

I an not a bias person but if a friend offered me that gun a I could not have paid him fast enough for it................. :up: :up:

$200 is a great deal.  these guns are accurate, reliable and great value.  get it while you can.

LOL All of the above!!

That's a great price for a good gun. I got mine at a pawn shop for $227 OTD and I thought THAT was a steal.

 

These guns seemed to have mostly good reviews but there have also been a lot of lemons out there. My friend bought one new and never could get it to work. He contacted Bersa and rather than mail it in they had him take it to a gunsmith at Gander Mtn in Knoxville who still wasn't able to fix it. He eventually gave up and sold it.

 

In the rare event it's a lemon you're only investing $200. I'd say go for it.

Thanks guys.  He didn't have a permit, so its never been carried.  He got it for the home cause his wife could handle it.   He said I shot it once, it works.  He was headed to the pawn shop with it, got there at 5 and they were closed. He stopped over to say bye and that he was leaving Sunday.  He said I'd like to get 200 for it. I told him he wouldn't get squat for it at the pawn, I might be interested so he left it with me to look over.  Doesn't look like its ever been fired.   Lucky me.   :yum:

Great gun and well worth $200, but friends don't let friends move to New York.

Super price and a pretty decent gun so if you like it and have the money why not buy it?

[DWARREN123]

Had one, fine little pistol for the money.

I took him up on it. I liked it right off.   :drool:   N yeah he's a good honest feller I hate to see em go.  They are from upper New York, and thats were they are going back to.   It's is wife wants to go back, all the family is there, granny getting old etc..  I did try to get him to just send her for a long visit. :bat:

 I'll miss em they's good folks.  

 

Thanks alot TGO for talking me into it, I needed that like I needed a hole in the head.   hehe

[bersaguy]

Let me know if you want your money back on it with maybe a little bump in amount..................... :up:

[jtmaze]

You can't go wrong at that price. My wife loves hers.

In all my life I've never heard of anyone leaving TN to move BACK to NY. How terrible.

We've barely been here a year and sadly if I would give in my wife would have us moving back to MI in a heartbeat.... I just don't know if I'll be driving the moving van or not.... :(

I hope you can stay here. My father was born in Michigan and raised there and he married my mother that was born here in Tennessee and we would come down on vacation every year and my father could not wait to retire so we could move down here. When he did, we did and my father would not even vacation back up there to visit family. He made them come south if they wanted to see him....... :up:

My sisters ask me if I'll ever go back to California and I tell them that if I do the Tennessee Highway Patrol will find ten bloody claw marks going West on I-40 'cause I ain't going easy!  :usa:

I HAD ONE BUT SOLD IT TO GET A PPK.  THE PPK HAS BEEN UNRELIABLE AT BEST, THE BERSA NEVER LET ME DOWN!!

[gun sane]

I won't move back to Texas.....and that's saying something.
