The Bersa Thunder 380 Plus delivers exceptional capacity in a sub-compact frame, offering 15+1 rounds of .380 ACP ammunition for serious personal protection needs. This pistol addresses the common trade-off between concealability and firepower by packing high capacity into a manageable size.
What Makes This Different
The Thunder 380 Plus stands apart from standard .380 pistols with its impressive 15-round magazine capacity, nearly double that of most competitors in this size class. The aluminum frame construction reduces weight while maintaining structural integrity, and the extended beavertail design enhances grip control and reduces felt recoil. The serrated steel slide provides reliable cycling and positive manipulation under stress.
Key Features
- High-capacity 15+1 round magazine for extended defensive capability
- 3.5-inch black steel barrel with precision rifling for consistent accuracy
- Lightweight aluminum frame with integral beavertail for improved grip
- Matte black serrated steel slide for enhanced durability and function
- Sub-compact dimensions ideal for concealed carry applications
- Right-hand configuration with ergonomic grip design
- Compatible with standard .380 ACP ammunition types
Field performance demonstrates reliable feeding and ejection across various ammunition weights, from 90-grain to 95-grain loads. The extended sight radius provided by the 3.5-inch barrel contributes to practical accuracy at defensive distances. Law enforcement backup applications and civilian concealed carry both benefit from the substantial ammunition capacity without sacrificing concealability.
