I have experience with a couple of them. Shot a friends, and owned one for a short time.
Reliable, and like aarondgraham said, quite accurate. The trigger hurt accuracy if trying to shoot quickly, it's a long double action pull.

I have owned two. Thunder 380 and Thunder 380 +. Also one in 45. The 380s I tried with different manufacturers amunition ,round nose, hollowpoint. wadcutter style and didn't have any problems. It liked everything. Accuracy was pretty good but I didn't shoot more than 5 to 7 yards as I figured I would be using it for defense. Good little guns but the spare magazines are pricey.
The thunder plus holds 15 rounds instead of the standard one holding seven. I got the thunder plus because I was wanting something smaller and compact. Traded my Bersa Thunder 45 for it. Thing is it is almost the same exact size as my Glock 23. So I ended up giving the 380 thunder plus to my dad and the other one to my mother. Nothing wrong with them as to why I give them away, I just preferred my Glock.
I had initially bought my Bersa thunder 45 when the Clinton gun ban was still on so you couldn't buy anything that held more than 10 rounds unless the mags were grandfathered old and over priced. It was a good gun but it didn't like blazer ammunition or hollow points. When the Clinton weapons ban ended I ended up getting guns that held more rounds and it went towards the back of the safe and eventually like stated above I traded it off.
All in all I like Bersa firearms. Good bang for the buck and quality pieces

First gun I bought when I turned 21 (in 2001) and I still have it. It will jam every now and then if it gets too dirty and I think the feed ramp could use a polish. But like I said, it's 14 years old and still working.
I've owned two of them, they are good guns for the money.

I recently bought one from a close friend. He had a PPKs and I like the Bersa better. He sold it to me for a good price.
You can get Bersa nine round mags for it, two more than standard, from Midwayusa. I would like to get a couple of them.

My wife carries a thunder and she loves it. I have shot it and it was actually very accurate. Took some time getting used to it as I have big hands and the trigger pull was long and hard for me to pull the trigger all the way back without moving my hand. Other than that, a great little pistol. And a steal at what you can buy one for. And it is also made very well. I wouldn't hesitate to buy one. And the ammo I used when I shot it was Tula. It easily fired every round without any problems.
