and it is perfect! It doesn't have the "squeaky/springy" sound of most Bersa self-loading pistols, and it is a sight to behold. The People in Argentina did it right this time. (Thank you, Bersa and Lipseys, for making this possible.) It has everything you need, and nothing you don't.

I LOVE THIS PISTOL!

Yes, it is brand new. This pistol is identical to the Bersa Thunder .380, but it is in .32 ACP. It has a matte finish and the polymer grip extender (not capacity) on the magazine plate.
Best of all, It has no keyed "trigger lock"!
Aside from that, the pistol is tight and looks as if it will be a winner. These were a "limited import production" sponsored by Lipsey's. I was blessed to get it.

Ian Fleming's "James Bond" character would have loved this pistol because the double-action is light and smooth.

Wow, I'd love to see photos.  I like Bersas but they're snappy in .380.  Does it use the same mags as a .380?

Watch this video.

BTW, the man refers to the recoil of the Bersa Thunder .32 as "charming". Does that put your mind at ease?

I'm not worried about my pistol in the least. This is the "sweet spot" for the .32 ACP self-loading pistol clan. Superbly accurate, easy to shoot, easy to carry. What more could you ask of a carry gun?

Bersa Thunder Plus is a 15 round gun.

Imagine how many a .32 would hold with a double stack version.

1. Rebarrel it with a custom-turned barrel (chambered for the .32 ACP).

2. Adjust the extractor to accommodate the smaller round.

3. Replace the recoil spring with one of the .32 variety from Wolff Gunsprings.

4. The magazines may work as they are, and they may not.

It may be a bit of expense, but if it works, the mission will be accomplished.
