Concealed Carry Weapon
 

I have been considering getting a smaller gun to conceal carry.

Anyone have a Bursa Thunder 380....and if you do, how do you like it. It seems to have good reviews. I normally try to buy something made in the USA but for a CCW for under $300, I think it's a good buy.

I've never shot one but when I worked at academy(about 6 years ago) that was probably one of the most popular guns I sold. I've never heard one bad thing about it and heard a ton of good things

Kel-TEC makes a nice 380 or 9mm for carry

Thanks for the comment. Like I said, all the reviews are good. They say if you shoot +P ammo it decreases the life of the gun. But I'm not looking to burn a bunch of rounds at the range with it. I have other guns for that.

I think I'm going to purchase one.

Nice looking gun. I know they high but have you looked at the kimbers?

Haven't looked at these.....will check them out.

Yes....I have one lol.

Just wanted a cheap one to take the abuse of everyday carry.

My Kimber is so nice I almost hate to shoot it lol....I have about a dozen handguns. Just want something different now.....you know how that goes. Plus the small size will slide in my front pocket.

Check out Ruger's LC9 and SR9c. Both shoot 9mm, I have both and while the SR9c shoots better for what I like the LC9 is easier to carry in warmer lighter clothing.

Lol my bad... Yea Kimber is pretty much the finest handgun I've held.

The only gun I never leave home with out is the baby Glock in 45 caliber. I carry that for a couple of reasons. It is very compact and very very light weight with a full clip. It is also a caliber that is proven time and time again one shot stopping power hands down. They don't call the round the flying ashtray for nothing. Just food for thought hope it helps.

I have the single stack 9mm, think its PF9, they are size of most 380 and shoot great.... I have a buddy that sells them if you want a price and if you yacht bought before tourny I will bring mine if you want to look at one.

Gotcha.... I was also thinking this was a gun the wife could throw in her purse also, that has a safety.

We will talk.

I'll keep that in mind.

Work getting that rough? :rolleyes:

No....just tired of packing a big gun lol.

I bought a Bursa 380 with wood grips at a gun show for $180 about 21-22 years ago and I purchased a H & k 9mm 5 years ago. I rarly shoot, but still enjoy shooting the Bersa when I do go to the range. It's a fine gun.

Thanks....

I've had the Bersa for over 3 years now and I carry it everywhere I go. It's not the most high end gun on the market, but it is an amazing gun for the price. I have an inside the pants holster and it feels great while carrying. I even forget I have it sometimes. It's very accurate and I've never had a FTF or FTE.

My Daughter won a 380 Sig Sauer at one of the events she attended. I have run a few rounds through it, but for me Glock 27 in the pocket, with a one piece, yep you guessed it one in the pipe, you wait'n for me .... first thing hitting the ground is probably gonna be somewhere around your shoulder blades!

those keltec aren't that reliable, the bersa is better, I had the cc model bersa .380, they made the sights snagless but there barely there. the regular model would of suited me better. I sold it a couple years ago and put the money toward a springfield xd, I have a Kahr cw40, which shoots and feels good and is lite.

check out the Kahr cm 40 ,just picked one up for a hair over 400. I know a few people who have em ands say they are very nice. Its as small like a 380,just alot more caliber.Made in the USA too.

Ruger LCP with crimson trace laser.....eaay in and easy to get out....find red dot and shoot...

Wow, I just looked this one up.... S L I C K !!!

Ive shot the Kel-tec plenty. It HURTS to shoot!!!! Bad!!!!
Im looking at the XDS 45 and the Shield 40 for C.C......... A little bigger, but much more manageable and less pain in the hand.

Kahr CW9 is a REALLY NICE SMOOTH GUN! But it takes all day to pull the trigger.....guess thats ok cause that is its only safety, but to me that will effect accuracy???? Just thinking out loud.......


Oh, back to topic, Ive never ahot the bersa.....im just not a fan of micro guns.

I've owned a bersa thunder 380 for about 9 years. The first one got stolen out of my suburban about 4 years ago. I immediately went to the gun shop and ordered the exact same gun. It is extremely accurate and reliable. Both of mine were the nickel plated models. Absolutely no corrosion issues with the finish. EVER. The peice lives in the center console of the burb 24-7-365. Any time anybody I know starts talking about a peice for the car or CCW, I strongly reccommend it. You will not be disappointed.

If you ain't crazy about the nickel finish, they make a 2-tone model with crimson trace laser grips installed from the factory. I wish they had the laser on the nickel model, cuz thats what I'd buy. Can't brag enough on the weapon.

Been trying to get my hands on a shield since they came out. If you find a couple, let me know. 9mm or .40., either one.

Thanks,
Jeremy

They did a limited number for 2012. They will hit the shelves again in January from what I'm told.
