Trying to decide between the Thunder 380 and the Thunder 380CC.

Trying to decide between the Thunder 380 and the Thunder 380CC.

both good choices. i carry the CC in an Alabama pocket holster every day. also have the TPR .380 Plus [15 rounds]. Royce Honeycutt, who posts on this forum, provides warranty service for Bersa. he informed the forum that Bersa has introduced a new version of the .380 Thunder, the TPR .380. Royce has promised to post the changes the TPR .380 brings to the Thunder. look at "To The Range" posted Feb 27, 2023 for more info on the new TPR .380.

Thank you for your insight. From what I can ascertain on the Bersa website the Thunder 380 has better (as in more pronounced) sights than the CC Model.

correct re the CC sights. they are fixed and very minimal. still easy to shoot accurately. sights on my TPR .380 Plus are dovetailed. am assuming sights on .380 Thunder are dovetailed.

It is all about personal ergonomics. The CC didn't feel right to me; the BT380 Thunder Combat did, and it is my EDC. If possible, find a gun store that has both so you can compare how they feel.

That is my plan.

No, I was a "Walking Warrant Officer", QM & MI.

Let me also welcome you, though I am also brand new. I did my 20 in the Corps, and now trying to enjoy what I thought I missed... I was wrong! My step father also was a walking Warrant a CW-4 who did the full run in the Army (30 years) and he is an old timer like most of you. Glad you made it!
