These guns fit nicely into Bersa&#8217;s catalog of hard-use yet\u00a0affordable handguns.<\/p>\n<p>Bersa&#8217;s concealead-carry guns have been making short lists for years and with good reason. They&#8217;re based on a simple, proven design with a strong track record for reliability and they&#8217;ve got nice triggers for fast, accurate shooting.<\/p>\n<h2>Thunder Combat Plus<\/h2>\n<p>They&#8217;re a service pistol manufacturer at heart and it shows even with their commercial products\u2014and it&#8217;s especially clear with <a href=\"https:\/\/bersa.eagleimportsinc.com\/bersa\/firearms\/thunder-combat-series\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"50572\" title=\"Bersa Drops Details on New Double-Stack .380 and Competition 9mm\">the new Thunder Combat Plus<\/a>. A hybrid based on the Bersa Thunder Plus and the Thunder Combat, the Thunder Combat Plus is an enhanced version of their standard .380 merged with their large-frame double-stack .380.<\/p>\n<p>The Plus features are obvious. The slightly larger grip gives the gun a fantastic 15+1 capacity&#8211;the best in its class for .380 pistols&#8211;while only adding .05 inches to the grip width. It&#8217;s also just a half ounce heavier, unloaded, compared to the single-stack version with its 8+1 capacity.<\/p>\n<p>The Combat features include a matte black finish, a low-profile slide that&#8217;s less prone to snag on the draw, broad slide serrations, an olive wrap-around rubber grip, a rounded trigger guard for smooth holstering and a shorter beavertail for comfortable carry all day.<\/p>\n<p>Critical dimensions remain the same and it should work with existing holsters. It&#8217;s 6.5 inches long with its 3.5-inch barrel and it&#8217;s even the same height at 4.7 inches tall.<\/p>\n<p>With an MSRP of $419 the Thunder Combat Plus is extremely competitive and should be available in stores in the mid-$300 range.<\/p>\n<h2>Thunder 9 Pro XT<\/h2>\n<p>At the other end of the spectrum is <a href=\"https:\/\/bersa.eagleimportsinc.com\/bersa\/firearms\/thunder-pro-series\/models\/thunder-9-pro-xt\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"50572\" title=\"Bersa Drops Details on New Double-Stack .380 and Competition 9mm\">Bersa&#8217;s Thunder 9 Pro XT<\/a>, chambered for 9mm Luger. Out of the box it&#8217;s ready for the range with an extended, 5-inch barrel, fiber optic front sight and fully-adjustable LPA rear sight. Bersa teased this pistol last year and will have it stateside for 2016.<\/p>\n<p>It has ambidextrous safety\/decocker and slide release levers as well as a reversible slide stop, making it a good option for both right- and left-handed shooters, especially competition shooters, who often have to shoot both strong and weak-side in matches.<\/p>\n<p>A full-size gun, the Thunder 9 Pro XT feeds from 17-round standard-capacity magazines and will be offered with 10-round mags as well, and includes five magazines in the box, enough to take it straight to the races.<\/p>\n<p>One of the things that make these guns such nice shooters are the good factory triggers. They have double-action\/single-action triggers with an 8- to 9-pound DA trigger pull and a sub-5-pound SA trigger pull with a very short, positive and easy-to-find reset. With a lot of competition guns sometimes trigger work is a forgone conclusion but with the Thunder 9 Pro XT that might not be the case.<\/p>\n<p>Other changes make it stand out from their standard Thunder Pro series. The pistol doesn&#8217;t have an accessory rail to reduce holster drag on the draw, the frame is serrated for extra traction with a thumbs-forward grip and the gun has a two-tone black and silver Cerakote finish. Cerakote is a solid\u00a0upgrade from the regular Bersa finish, with better wear- and corrosion-resistance properties.<\/p>\n<p>These semi-custom upgrades and accessories do make the Thunder 9 Pro XT the most expensive Bersa pistol yet, but even with its $923 MSRP\u2014so probably around $800 in the real world, maybe less\u2014it&#8217;s still going to be one of the most affordable ways to get a competition shooter with all these extras.<\/p>\n<p>With these new products, it&#8217;s going to be that much harder not to pick up a Bersa pistol this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bersa is prepping to launch\u00a0two new handguns for 2016, a streamlined double-stack .380 ACP for concealed carry and a longslide competition-ready 9mm Luger pistol.
