Default Pocket gun Bersa or Taurus.

I know a guy that has a Bersa Thunder CC .380 and a Taurus TCP .380 for CHEAP. Both are hardly used and he wants to get rid of them. I have the money for both but i dont want both i want one and then put the money towards a fullsize. Anyways anyone have experience with a Bersa or taurus .380? The taurus comes with 2 holsters and some ammo. Bersa just comes with the gun and i think a extra mag.

Btw i did some researching and theres a few hating on the Taurus but a few hating on the Bersa as well. Ive handled both and i like both i just want the best for my money. Plus it would be perfect to carry.

I have a Bersa Thunder .380 (not the CC) that I bought LONG before the .380 craze hit and really enjoy shooting it. Very reliable little pistol and more accurate than it has the right to be. Now it's bigger than the Taurus and not as "concealable" but that's fine with me. I hate the tiny guns everybody is marketing now. Can only get 2 fingers on the blasted things and they just roll around in my fat mitts too much when they recoil. My Bersa at least has a finger rest on the bottom of the mag to give my pinkie a home while shooting it.

If it were me, I'd buy a box of FMJ ammo, put some rounds through both and buy the one I liked best.

friends dont let friends buy taurus. that being said their revolvers are alright unless one of them brazilians put on a crooked barrell, there is nothing good to be said about their autos. thats my 2 cents.

I had a Taurus PT140. It was a great gun, put many many rounds through it.
