The Bersa T22M Thunder delivers reliable rimfire performance in a micro-compact platform optimized for training and recreational shooting. This pistol combines Bersa's proven Thunder series reliability with modern ergonomics and enhanced control features.
What Makes This Different
The T22M features a lightweight aluminum frame with integrated beavertail that provides superior grip control compared to standard polymer micro-compacts. The serrated slide design offers positive manipulation even with wet hands, while the 3.5-inch steel barrel delivers accuracy that exceeds typical subcompact expectations. Unlike many rimfire pistols that sacrifice build quality for price, the T22M maintains full-size construction standards in a reduced footprint.
Key Features
- Aluminum frame construction with integrated beavertail for enhanced grip security
- 3.5-inch black steel barrel with precision rifling for consistent accuracy
- Matte black serrated slide with aggressive texturing for reliable manipulation
- 10+1 capacity magazine with easy-loading design
- Micro-compact dimensions suitable for concealed carry training

The T22M excels in training applications where shooters need to develop fundamental skills without the recoil and expense of centerfire ammunition. Range sessions become more productive with the reduced noise and muzzle blast of 22 LR, while the pistol's weight and balance closely approximate larger defensive handguns. The aluminum frame resists wear from frequent use, maintaining tight tolerances through thousands of rounds.
