first somewhat warm day yesterday.....haven't been to the range in a month. first thing i did was pull my CC from pocket and fired all 8+1 rounds. i do this about once a month to simulate having to use my CC in a self defense situation. i don't check the pistol in any way before firing. 100% success, as usual.

then i loaded the TPR .380 Plus with Federal fmj and fired a box and a half. 100% success, as usual. was shooting metal plates.....no targets. so, nothing exciting, just a nice hour at the range. no one else there, not even rifle shooters. looking forward to warmer weather to spend more time at the range.

Great to hear. I'm new to bersa, thunder model. I just purchased dies for 380 acp and loaded 50 each of two different recipes. Both examples fired with zero issues yesterday. Really liking the bersa...

Thats a good day!
Didn't know the TPR came in 380. I once had a big one and a little one- and they were 9mm.

There are TPR models in both the Plus and Standard configurations.

 

[Higgy Baby]

I may have those guns mixed up? I had the older 9mm HC (high capacity) and the UC (ultra compact). Those are what I am thinking the new models are - TPR.

 

[C. Royce Honeycutt]

There are TPR Versions of most models now.

is there a .380 Thunder TPR [8+1 rounds] ? a TPR CC?

 

[C. Royce Honeycutt]

There is a TPR version of the Standard 8+1 Pistol. Not of the CC as of yet that I am aware of.

thanks, appreciate. most likely a pistol i will own when available locally. i like the way the slide has been tapered at the top. is the slide taper the only change?

my TPR .380 Plus has been very reliable and enjoyable to shoot. never a hickup.

TPR stands for Thunder Pistol Redesign. Most of the changes were ergonomic and stling changes to the exterior of the pistol. I am currently working on a report that covers the differences of the Thunder 380 Plus and the TPR Model and will post it here when it is completed.

 

[Higgy Baby]

Okay- new model Thunder. I was thinking older design for the larger 9's and 45's.

(things seem to be getting mixed up nowdays in my old brain- my imagination still runs wild, but it's way off track!)

 

[Donley]

am hoping to see a new TPR .380 Thunder locally soon. any idea when these begin shipping in volume, Royce?

 

[C. Royce Honeycutt]

They are available, many dealers are just not aware of them and do not order them. If you can't find one, let us know and we will attempt to locate you one.

will take you up on that if i'm unable to find one locally. this area is not really up to date with new things.

What state do you reside?

James, who is your question directed to?
