This post to pertains to pocket carry of the Bersa Thunder pistol only. Just wanted to add this question elsewhere too.

I have another question for you Bersa guys and gals. My last question got so many awesome responses.

My question concerns the Bersa Thunder and pocket carry. Like, is it really realistically practical? I carry a S&W 642 constantly and have successfully pocket carried the following:

Glock 42, Ruger LCP, Beretta Pico, S&W Bodyguard 1.0 and Remington rm380. The Glock is the biggest but was actually easier/more comfortable to pocket carry than my S&W airweight. Problem is, I cannot trust a striker fire carried chamber loaded in the pocket.Just don’t trust it. In a good kydex holster on the belt a striker fired pistol condition 1 is fine. But a striker in a condition 1 in even a kydex holster in the pocket gives me the willies. Not rational I know, but very much my hang up.
So I guess my question is do you think I would be able to comfortably and effectively pocket carry a Bersa Thunder for long periods of time?

Thank you in advance for any responses to my questions. I have wanted a Bersa Thunder for many years but have stubbornly held off because I have been burned in the past. I would be embarrassed to tell you how many times I have bought yet another handgun -something I did not need at all, really had zero purpose for, and then it doesn’t even work properly?!!!! The guilt I feel afterwards tends to linger and make me hesitant on all future gun purchases. I also subscribe to the “happy wife/happy life” philosophy 😁

I have considered buying a Bersa Thunder for many years. Love the DA/SA format, but it is harder and harder to find in world we live in where strikers are far more popular.

I prefer smaller handguns because pocket carry is my preferred choice. Currently I EDC a S&W 642 (the King of pocket carry in my opinion).

I am looking for feedback from actual owners of the Thunder as to overall durability and reliability. I read far too many reviews that include “cheap pot metal” and similar things. If a Walther PPK wasn’t insanely overpriced I would consider one of them instead.

Anyway, some real deal intell on the Bersa Thunder by owners would be very much appreciated.

Thank you in advance and I hope you are having a great weekend.

oh boy, this is a long shot but I’m going to give it a shot.

Im trying to track down a dystopian tv show that I believe was made in the 80’s (possibly 90’s). One of the main characters was a military veteran (SF maybe) with “Iron” in his last name. I want to say “Jim Ironhorse” or something similar.

If anyone has a clue what this show was called I would really appreciate it.
