The little Bersa .380s are pretty dang reliable and easy to use. Smaller frame, good controls, and just work. My old man was a deputy for 23 years, his last 10 years or so he worked part time in Harrisville. When he started working there and doing more supporting calls for the Ogden City gang unit, he bought a little Bersa for a backup gun. Somehow he managed to hide that little Thunder 380 inside his trauma plate pouch on his body armor.
