The bersa 22 lr is very accurate. Works very well with Remington Thunderbolt bulk ammo. After 400 rounds very few stove pipes. Easy to take apart to clean. Shipping to my dealer was quick with good communication. I would recommend highly.

The Bersa Thunder T22M is a nice little pistol. I bought it so I could have cheap practice that would carry over to my Thunder 380. It feels and operates just like the 380 version. I have had good luck feeding it CCI Minimags. It doesn't like the cheap, bulk 22cal ammo. Yes, I would buy it again. And Bud's is the best.

is this a used firearm ? The first words from my FFL dealer, when we opened the box, it’s not supposed to be, I responded The grips have some kind of white residue on them, looks dingy and old, possibly used. Right out of the box, I’m not impressed. Not in presentable condition. Quick swab shows black residue, probably from test firing, I’m sure. Also this looks black matte. I wanted the blue/black, which was more expensive. When I get time, I’ll clean it up. I have several other firearms in my cart, I’m having second thoughts on pulling the trigger on them. The Bersa was inexpensive, the colt and s&w I’m considering are not.

Nice little pistol. Very accurate and when fed the correct ammo functions great! Found it likes the cci stingers the best without having and jamming issues. Only gave the 4 start because of it being selective on what ammo it will cycle

Best 22 pistol I own. I own several. This pistol eats any kind of 22lr ammo without a single failure to load, fire or eject. As always, Buds handled the transaction quickly and efficiently. My FFL dealer got it on the day expected and I picked it up the same day. Have about 700 rounds through it of mixed 22lr ammo and have not had a single issue. Wish it came with more than 1 magazine because additional ones are a little pricey at about 40 bucks each. I picked up 4 extras to save reloading events. This is my go to plinker.

The Bersa Thunder 22lr I purchased from Buds is just awesome. I love this little plinker. It has had 425rds of CCI and worked flawlessly. That was from new straight out of the box. Took it down for cleaning, which is very simple by the way, gave it a quick scrub with CLP, re assembled it, again very simple, and gave it 10 more flawless shots with CCI. The gun has 3 dot sights and mine were right on the money from the factory. If you like 22lr and have never tried one of these little Gems, I highly suggest you do.

I got the gun in just a few days, and just got it out to the range last weekend. I didn't clean it. I shot it right out of the box starting with cci mini mags and then shot bulk ammo and it never jammed or had a failure to feed. It worked great.

Bersa is back! I shoot 3/4 inch groups at 20 yards off-hand with this pistol. I have put hundreds of rounds down range with no problems. My reasons for purchase: 1.) Great kin to my Bersa Thunder 380 for cheaper practice, 2.) Size - long enough for accurate shots and small enough for the pocket. 3.) Great price for a .22LR semi-auto. 4.) It can be fitted with a Crimson LASER grip for night time critter relief. 5.) That same Crimson from reason 4 can be used on my 380 if ever desired. 6.) Looks as good as the PP but is a better pistol IMHO.

I purchased a Bersa Thunder .22 LR pistol from "Bud's" to compliment a Bursa Thunder 308 that I already owned. "Bud's" got it to me in a hurry, so that I could use it at the range to minimize the expense of practicing, while using a gun that and looks and feels like its larger caliber twin.

A Great little fun and affordable handgun! The Bersa Thunder in 22lr is a lot of fun and great for training. The handgun is also very easy to take apart and clean. Very small and lightweight for conceal carry even. I would recommend!

I live in a retirement community. I bought this as a "training aid" (along with the pearl handled cowboy revolver in 22LR as well) for all the old folks around here. (I'm 76 myself). Both firearms arrived Fast at my local dealer and they both work great Bud's is a GREAT place to do business with and always has been.

Very comfortable and looks nice gun. But.....very picky to ammo. Very picky. Every third sound malfunction. High velocity,low velocity no matter. So so shooting with cci blazer. So so. I've purchased two extra mags. Not cheap. $40 per each. But same issue. Soon will take this gun third time to shooting range if same issue I'll need to sale this gun (

Bought this as the impression was that the 380 version is well liked and reliable but with the cost of ammo,wanted something I could plink with and not cost an arm and a leg. It comes in a relatively thin plastic box,not Springfield or Glock quality,but better than a cardboard box. Build quality is on par with the price. Mine came with one 10 round magazine. First 40 rounds ran terrific,no malfunctions of any kind. I put the gun away after cleaning it and didn't shoot it for a couple months but when I finally did,failures to feed,extract,and eject. I tried various types of ammo including CCI Stingers,Aquilia,Remington Thunderbolts and Golden Bullets,and Winchester's all with the same result. Purchased another magazine and same results. Probably 500 rounds through this weapon now and still problematic. I really,really wanted to like this gun. An inexpensive DA/SA with good looks and inexpensive to shoot. It breaks down incredibly easy as well,much easier than even the Walther PPK/S I owned. Unfortunately I can't recommend it due to the problems I've had with mine. When it functions it's a fun little gun to shoot that's reasonably accurate for what it is. It's just too frustrating having to constantly clear all the failures.

Very nice pistol. Well thought out design. 3 dot sights are outstanding. Seems to prefer HV ammo. Would highly recommend.

The brand has good reviews but in my case this gun had problems with shots grouping,,the distance when you point was enormous regarding to shots.

Bought it, picked it up at a range and immediately started sending lead at paper. I tried several different ammo types and manufacturers and it ate them all like a champ. Only issue I had was a fte when I attempted one handed marksmanship. Overall, I love this thing so far.

I love this pistol. I had only one or two failures to fire which were duds that fired on restrike. It has proven to be reliable and accurate. With the right ammo it could be a plausible concealed carry gun. The only negative is that it took months for me to find extra magazines. From an operational standpoint the pistol was spot on. It's double action with a de-cocker. The controls were easy to manipulate for me. I would definitely recommend to others who are looking for a reliable accurate 22LR semi-automatic pistol.

I bought this to match my Bersa 380. Love the gun, and as a matter of fact I have bought another that I found I the very Pawn shop that I have everything I buy from Buds sent too. Buying from Buds is great, fast shipping and great and honest people to deal with. Love Buds. I love this gun and love shooting it as well as my 380. Thanks Buds great people.

Nice light .22 for carry of target shooting. Only drawback is that standard velecity and/or lead bullets jam frequently. Need high velocity, min 1300 fps, and copper plated rounds, such as Stinger, which defeats the purpose of having a 22 for inexpensive training sessions. Polishing feed ramp helps, but doesn't cure.

Took it to the range last weekend, and had a few failures to feed and a couple of other hang ups. I only put 50 rounds of Aguila Super Extra through it, but it's probably still needing breaking in completely. Going to try again and take CCI Mini Mags. I fully expect the next time to be much better. Trigger is GREAT and 100% better than the Walther PPK .22 that has such a horrendous trigger. The few hang ups are the only reason it does not get 5 stars. Although I fully expect it to perform just fine once I get it completely broken in.

Cool little gun but it won't shoot just any ammo.
