Customer Reviews for BERSA/TALON ARMAMENT LLC T9DTP13 Thunder Pro Ultra Compact DA/SA 9mm 3.3" 13+1 Poly Grip Blk/Nick

Awesome Product !! Superior Customer Service !! Thanks Again Buds !!

Great gun, great price, fast shipping! This is my second Bersa and it won't be the last.

WOW!!! First off, I'm going to say that Bud's made this purchase painless and they shipped quickly, keeping me regularly updated on the status of the order and tracking. KUDOS, team Bud's! {I may be middle aged but I'm a relatively novice shooter so please forgive me if I get any terminology wrong.} This is the first time I've ever dreamed of purchasing something like this without ever seeing, holding or shooting one first. (Previously, my CCW was a Beretta PX4 Subcompact 9mm.) I needed a replacement and did a week's worth of deep research before opting for the Bersa Thunder Pro 9mm UC. I opened the (nice) plastic case/box and fell in love. Took it to a friend's place for his 'once-over'. He was a 'range instructor', a few years back, and he is my shooting 'mentor'. He, and I, were impressed with the almost magically easy takedown of this weapon. Close inspection revealed top-notch craftsmanship and a tight piece of machinery. He has relatively large hands and he marvelled at the comfortable grip offered with the 'pinky' extension on the magazine. (It fits my hand well also. )It arrived well oiled but not overly so. Stripping, cleaning and lubricating the pistol was a snap. Today was the test. Took it out to a favorite local shooting spot and loaded her up. First shot, at 15 yards, was 'double action' and you know what? I was less than an inch from the center of the bullseye on my silhouette. I had read that these shoot low... Mine does not. I kept a grouping of about 6 inches which, for 'not the greatest shot', was excellent. (My instructor friend was pleased with its accuracy as well.) Moving back to 20 yards, my grouping stayed about the same. Not bad. Long story short, I came back to 25 yards and kept the groupings at 8 inches or less. Fired 300 rounds of cheap ($9.99 fore 50) FMJ and did not have a single FTF or any other issues. The recoil is minimal and the grips are checkered but not so aggressive as to be uncomfortable. I was amazed, with each magazine fired, how much I began to love this little beauty more and more. Headed home and stripped it for cleaning and inspection. No noticeable wear on any areas of the weapon. I am looking forward to years of good service from this little gem and would highly recommend it for a 'compact' concealed carry weapon. (I would also recommend Budsgunshop.com for outstanding pricing, service and value.)

I use this as my everyday carry gun and so far I love it. It shoots extremely well and has never jammed or given me any problems at all. The description of 'ultra compact' is slightly misleading as this gun is fairly large and thick. It is definitely not a pocket gun, and I have found it too large to carry in an ankle holster. I carry iwb at about 4 o'clock position in a kydex holster and it seems to conceal just fine. I love the fact that the mag holds 13 rounds. The takedown is ridiculously easy. I have some of the finish chipping off the inside of the slide but so far it has not affected the functionality of the gun whatsoever.

I have this gun. In 9mm, 40 s&w and 45 acp. Great trigger pull both double and single action. Very easy to disassemble and clean.

Outstanding pistol! I have most all the good quality , accurate 9 mm semi pistols and at all price ranges. This is one of my favorites.

I purchased this gun from buds as my edc. There is a good reason why this gun is called a poor mans Sig. this gun shoots great and I love the pull on the sa/da trigger. I have well over 1000 rounds through it it without one ftf or fte. This gun is the perfect concealed carry weapon with its reliability and accuracy. If I had one issue it's the finish on the barrel and the fact you can't find replacement grips.

I wanted a compact 9mm with a hammer d/a s/a that was ambidextrous and the reviews on buds were really good so I got one. Buds was great as always. This gun shoots very smooth & really accurate at 35 yards right out of the box with steel ammo and I shoot it comfortably with either hand. 13+1 in a 23 oz, gun with a 3.25 inch barrel seems just right for a compact, It might be the easiest pistol to disassemble & reassemble ever designed. A semi auto with a hammer is awesome. It feels like a small 1911. A lot of fun to shoot & will fit a wide variety of people, male or female large or small, left or right handed, Its a big little gun or a little big gun, whichever you prefer. This is a 5 star gun that should be a 10 since it is ambidextrous & has an external hammer.I like everything about it!!!

Wow, this is one solid weapon. Fits my hand perfectly. Now comes in a plastic case. Buds ship very fast, UPS a little slower, but still got it within the 10 days. If you want a reliable hand gun for CC, this would be it.

First gun purchase from Buds and what a breeze that was. Love my new Bersa 150 rounds already through it and just flawless. Like the others say if you have large hands this gun is probably for you. Very nicely balanced and great ergonomic design makes it a very fun shooter. Loaded chamber indicator is nice little feature and doesn't get in the way of sights. DA Trigger pull is smooth, I MEAN SMOOOOOTH. SA trigger pull is light 2 pounds or so maybe. no gauge other than my timney trigger for my mosin i have at the lowest about 1.5 -/+ and feels just heavier. Field stripping is as simple as it can get. This was the only handgun that fit me perfectly out of the box. I'm not into getting a gun because its good but have to buy other stuff to make it feel good in my hands. If you got a gun store that sells this gun (I went to Gander they have all of bersa's pistols) and just get a feel for it. Everyone who owns a bersa praises this gun and choose to carry it instead of their glocks or s&w or whatever. That really says something great about it and see why now. Love this handgun.

Complete thorough cleaning required as the pistol is well preserved for shipping. Disassembly and assembly is quick and easy. Ambidextrous safety easy to reach. Tight lock-up between slide and frame. Rear sight design is different than on other pistols; the front post sight is bright. Magazine fits tightly and releases easily. Fit and finish are decent. Will try to add more comments after range time.

Received the gun today at my local range. Immediately put 100 rounds through it with no problems at all. Gun feels great in my hands. It's a thicker gun since it is a double stack, but it fits good on my larger than average hands. Sights are on point. I like the fact that this gun is completely ambidextrous as I am a lefty, which was one of the main selling points for me. When I got the gun home I moved the mag release (it comes setup for a righty) and now it is darn near perfect. First impression - I am very happy with the fun and believe it was a great purchase.

Okay, forego the M&P Shield, and the XDS, and get yourself a Bersa Thunder UC9. Its like it was created specially for me. Feels unbelievably good in my hand. Im a big guy. Its heavy as heck but thats because its not made of plastic. Shot 13 rounds of FMJ at a little ceasers pizza box from 15 yds. aimed at the little slice of pizza ceasar is biting, and hit it 7 out of 13 times. All were within a 3" group, straight out of the box. Recoil is nil. Love it!!!!! Love buds!!!!

Bought this pistol Bersa 13 + 1 Round 9MM Ultra Compact Pistol w/Duo Tone Finis I have shot about 500 rounds through it. I had read it shot a little low. Bad news for me because as a Marine We were taught early to aim at 6 o'clock on the Bull. Anyway I aim center mass now and the 1st 300 rounds were low. Bottom of the Bull. After that my shooting got better. seemed to shoot as good or better than my Beretta. F92. Came with 2 mags. I may buy the thunder 9 just to have. I also have the Bersa Thunder .380 CC Model and the Bersa Thunder .380. Guess you can call me a Bersa man.A lady friend of mine wanted to get her Carry Conceal. She couldn't shoot her 9 shot .22 revolver real good. I let her use this and she hit 30 out of 30 for her qualification

I ordered a Bersa 22 From Buds on the 18th and was in my hand on the 29th. Since April 2009 I had owned only 2 handguns. Beretta 92F and a Colt Python. In 2009 I obtained my Concealed permit with XD 40 Cal. I have since gone through 12 different handguns in 9mm, 40 Cal. , 45 Cal and 357. They all had their good and bad points. Since November of this year I have purchased 2 Bersa's. A 380 and a Bersa 22 bought from Buds. I love both these little guns and plan on purchasing before Christmas a 3rd Bersa. For the price you pay for these Argentina Weapons there is NO better guns on the market! "IMHO" There made well, Shoot Well and feel good in the hand! As of December 17th I now own this Bersa 9mm bought from Buds. What an amazing little weapon. I am definitely a Bersa guy. I'm after the 40 cal. now! I would recommend these gun to all my friends! Thank you Buds Guns for the excellent service and timely delivery!!

First let me say that i have become a "Bersa man" i love their products because they are good quality at a reasonable price and this handgun is no different. I received it about a week after i ordered it and took it to the range after giving it a lil tlc cleaning due to the packing oils. This review is based on putting about 50 rounds through the handgun but in that first 50 i had no FTF, no jams the recoil was negligible. I took my 1911 to the range (because its pretty accurate) to fire a few reference hits on the target (center tight group) then i changed to the Bersa 9mm a few shots were low and to the right so i had to make a few adjustments thinking it may be something in the way i was holding it or perhaps pushing it over with my finger on the trigger pull. That helped a bit however i think i still may have to make a couple of sight adjustments to make. I have carried it a few times its rather weighty but once you get used to it its not too bad. All in all i'd still recommend this gun if you are looking for quality at a "Reasonable" price.

First pistol I have bought, and I am in love with it! It shoots great, looks great, and has a lot of clever safety features (which I like with kids in the house). Overall VERY happy with this purchase.

This is in my opinion one of the best pistols out there very reliable and at a great price. Buds had a pretty speedy delivery givin the holiday weekend ordered on a thursday recieved it on tuesday. A++

Fired this hand gun for the first time yesterday. More than 100 rounds. No problems, fits my hand perfectly. This is a good size for concealment and easy to disassemble. The trigger is smooth; the safety is placed just right. The only negative is the loading of the magazines are not the easiest. I would recommend this weapon to anybody. I feel this gun is a great value and would stand up to handguns 100's of dollars more in cost.

Order this gun on Saturday morning and received it at my FFL Tuesday. Now that was not expected. Can't wait for the weekend to go shooting. With all the reviews I have read I am looking forward to having fun. I like the fact that the safety is on both sides as is the slide release. Bought this for for both myself and wife to be able to shoot. I am left handed and she is right. At first glance I wish the rear sights were a little brighter as far as the white dots go, but with the gun being Sig compatible (model ?) for the sights it shouldn't be a big problem. Will findout when I start shooting.
