Factory wood grips?

Anyone know where I can find some factory wood grips for a thunder 380 cc? I don’t particularly like the ones I have on mine.

So, I hear we're doing wood this week.

My mid 1980s 383A, a steel frame, early version of the Thunder 380.

Inherited from my father, cleaned up, and brought into working order after having spent decades as a safe queen.

I put the thinner rubber/plastic Thunder grips on this, and it's one of my favorite shooters. It's also in my carry rotation.

Wood is Good

Factory wood grips on my Thunder 380. This pistol came with the combat/firestorm style grips with finger grooves.

When did Thunder 380 get a firing pin block?

I bought a used one and did not check. Mine does not have one so just curious what year they started. Mine is from 2006. So to be ultra safe I need to have it on safe if one in the chamber?

$90? Up for grabs

Selling both pairs, not too sure how much they’re worth, they’re both a bit too thick for my hands.

Thunder 380 vs 380CC. Any opinions?

I've been so happy with my 383A that I wanted to get an updated version - the Thunder 380. But then I realized that there is a trimmed down concealed carry version, so I wondered if any of you have both the T-380 and the 380 CC, and if you have any thoughts on the differences. Likes, dislikes, etc?

Thunder 380 vs 383A

I have a 1980s 383A (a steel frame precursor to the Thunder 380), and I really like this thing. It's accurate, it's easy to aim and shoot, and I like the DA/SA trigger.

I do carry concealed (blue state, don't want to freak out the normies), and I was thinking about picking up a newer Thunder 380.

Checking the Handgun Hero site (a great tool for evaluating and comparing sizes) I see that the 380 is 20 oz.

https://www.handgunhero.com/compare/bersa-thunder-380-vs-bersa-tpr9c

When I weigh the unloaded 383A, it comes in at 24, slightly heavier than the TPR9C. The 380 stated weight is 20. Not a big difference, but still.

I was hoping that somebody out there had some insight as to what the differences are (besides weight) between the 383A and the 380. I'm assuming there have been some upgrades in the past 30 or 40 years.

BP380 feeding problem

Long story short, shells jam half way into the chamber. Thought it was a barrel issue. Disassembled and deep cleaned to make sure. I didn’t inadvertently leave crap in the breach. Reassembled and same problem.

What it appears to be is the extractor isn’t allowing the shell head to glide up and to be seated properly on the breach.headspace on shell is fine. It’s brand new and not even shot. Would appreciate any and all advice about a quick but reliable fix, to this conundrum. Thanks in advance.

Thunder 380 Hammer won’t lock back

I’ve searched everywhere to try to find a fix to this and have found none. Here’s hoping someone can help.

My Bersa Thunder .380 will only fire in double action. The hammer won’t lock back after I rack the slide or take a shot.

I’ve taken it apart and cleaned it. Couldn’t find any broken pieces or anything that would clearly cause this issue.

Anyone know how to fix it?

Has anyone ordered from the Bersa website? Is it legit?

I was browsing the website the other day, looking at the forearms. Out of curiosity I added one to cart and went to checkout and thought to myself this is too good to be true… So I’m asking here, are there gonna be any complications or will what I order get shipped and delivered without issues? For context I live in California and there are CA compliant handguns, but with California’s complicated laws, I’m finding it hard to believe that it will go without any issues.

Thunder 380 Sight Question

So, I have been thinking about getting a Thunder 380 X from my local dealer to use as a new CCW, and was wondering if anyone here knows if sets made for other pistols would fit the Dovetail settings. It's not a deal breaker if none do, I would just prefer fiber optic sights.
