A fun 380?

[jimbo]

I was in my ammo room yesterday loading for a range trip, and somehow, I've acquired over 4k rounds of 380. Nobody needs that much garbage. I looked around the web for something to shoot it with, and all that has peaked an interest is a Bersa Thunder with a threaded barrel. I figured it would make a good suppressor host with slow 380 and a solid mounted barrel. Any recommendations, or should I just sell some?

I would buy 500 rounds if you have some good brands available. PM me if you are interested.

I like my S&W M&P Shield EZ 380

I like that, it was designed for people who have trouble racking the slide.

And there's the Walther PPK, because who wants to be able to comfortably rack a slide!?

Yes it is. I bought it to train some of my lady friends and most can rack it easily.

You always look into a Hi-Point .380 Carbine https://www.hi-pointfirearms.com/hi-point-carbines/hi-point-380acp-carbine.php

I have the 45acp version for the same reason. I had a lot of 45 and a 45 suppressor. I really don't want another turd. Damnit

Well, you could just say that you have two lamp bases if they don't work right.

That's the problem. For as big of a pile o shit it is, it has never malfunctioned and sends 45 acp zipping around 1050 to 1100fps and stays quiet. My only real complaint is it punches the hell out of my cheek to shoot it with the slide mass for 45. I don't think the 380 would have that problem.

I can't recommend a fun .380, but i can recommend overpriced scooters and fat girls.


They're all different things, but the end result if one of your buddies catches you with one will be the same

Browning 1911 .380 is my favorite .380 to shoot...

That would be my choice if I were looking at getting a .380.

If I was going to get into .380, a Browning BDA or a Beretta 84 would be my first pick. There's also the original Remington M51s.

Considering all that, I'd stick with the Bersa Thunder then. I've never owned one, but the people I know that do have them, love 'em.

I had a Bersa, but not for long because the slide would bite me.

Did you have trouble with the decocker?

Not that I can recall

Brand new the decocker didn't work. Took it Gander Mtn, official repair, they said they fixed it. Worked a couple of times. Finally I watched a YouTube video and fixed it myself.

I have a admit, the baby rock tickles my rocks, but it has no purpose other than to give it to my mom. Still leaning towards the Bersa because of the suppressor aspect.

Good luck and keep us posted on suppressing the 380. I have found it to be the hardiest to do.
