Picked up a new CC pistol today

I got a great deal on a slightly used Bersa Thunder .380 today ($150). This thing fits like a glove! I was carrying a KelTec P3AT as my conceal carry weapon, but that's goin in the safe now. I haven't shot it yet...I'm off to get some ammo and then to the pistol range. New gun day is always a happy day .

That's pretty cool. I've been meaning to get a gun license. I've heard in Texas it's pretty easy to obtain.

Nice pistol. I have a Glock 19, but it isn't exactly super-concealable. I've been meaning to pick up a nice sub-sub compact .45 for CC, but haven't got the funds or time.
My buddy has a Taurus (I think it is) Millineum, or Millinea... sub-compact .45 that kicks like a bitch but packs an equally bitchy punch.

Bersa are decent cheaper guns. Personally even though there hard to find i would have looked for a Makarov. One of the better guns ever made, but for the money you cant beat bersa.
And for the guy with the glock 19, maybe a glock 30 for you?? Glocks are always a good decision.
Beleive it or not before being on this forum i was part of a gun forum. God they were conservative ass holes, but i know alot about guns now. haha

I am a member of a few gun forums, and actually like the way they are run. One question for the OP. Why a .380? There are many platforms that are small, and in many calibers. Are you black? lol dont get buttsore, Im just using stereotypes All the ghetto peeps here sport either .380's or 9mm.

I tried out all the other glocks, i ended up with the 19 becuase it fit well in my hand, had relatively cheap ammo (9mm) and a not-so-obscene kick.
I bought it for fun at the range, not exactly for CC, so when I go back to buy one for CC i'll have to re-try everything.

9mm kicks more than a .45 IME. I have to clean house because my wife's GF is coming over tonight. Wish me luck!

The caliber wasn't really a factor in my decision. Moreso the price, and the size. A .380 has enough power for what I need it for (although, I hope I never NEED it). I have a Beretta in a .40, a Taurus .357 revolver, and I'm looking for a nice 1911 .45 I likes me guns This is just the gun I carry as my conceal carry weapon. I actually don't carry all that often. I do a lot of Atving/Snowmobiling up in northern Minnesota. When I'm up there in wolf/bear country, I carry the .357, I'm not gonna empty a clip of .380 or 9mm into a bear coming at me, I want to be sure Yogi's goin down. My dad collects guns, I bet he has over 300. 4-5 safes full...and then some. I've been around guns my whole life. It's a fun hobby. Not all that cheap though
And, no.....I'm not black.

I carry a .45, long slide, full frame, it's concealable but you're right, I advise people to get anything they're comfortable with from a .32acp on up, concealment isnt difficult, I wear mine under a tshirt with minimal printing, with an over shirt or a jacket, no one would ever know
