I am buying a new-in-box Bersa Thunder .32. These are great holster pistols for tramping around the woods, dispatching small game, and the like.

Lots of fun!

Couple of years ago I bought a used Beretta Jetfire; nice little pistol and pretty accurate too.
Only reason I could buy one in Massachusetts (the state that minds your business) was that it was purchased there in '83 pre ban.

You know, it's funny-There is nothing that I do with guns that is illegal, including carrying them.
Yet I have someone that trolls and harasses me and implies that because I have/carry guns I'm doing something illegal. They don't know how stupid it makes them look.
By the way, I was a federally licensed gun dealer for about 20 years.

I've seen the Bersa Thunder in stores, nice looking little pistol but I'm guessing the ammo is high.

I couldn't get the Bersa Thunder .32, but I did pick up a Ruger LCP. ($199.99 + background check of $10.00) It is a nifty little piece. I have been looking at a Charter Arms "Undercoverette" chambered for the .32 H&R Magnum. Six shots, stainless steel, and it weighs a scant 15 ounces.

I'd stick with the Ruger and hope you got it in 9mm.

I already have a Kel-Tec P11 in 9mm and a Kel-Tec P32 (in .32 ACP, of course). The Ruger LCP is in .380. (I have a Bersa Thunder in .380 as well.)

Had a Kel-Tec 9mm but the trigger was atrocious. Was a nice carry piece though! Double action only with a long pull.

I took mine out for a run two weeks ago. No problems. My Ruger Lightweight Compact Pistol is an easy carry. I pity the idiot who decides that I'm a pushover. Trust me, it will not end well... for him!

The later Keltec PF9 pistol has a much better trigger than the P11.
Unfortunately, it has been discontinued.

I just ordered a Charter Arms Model 73220 "Undercoverette" in .32 H&R Magnum. I paid the heady sum of $367.99 + the requisite $10.00 Oregon State Police Background Check. (I'll shoot it instead of my S&W Airweight Centennial in .32 H&R Magnum.) It was more expensive than the Bersa, but it will be more versatile than the self-loader. (It can chamber/fire the .32 S&W, .32 S&W Long and the .32 H&R Magnum.)

I think that I'll be able to enjoy it.
