The BERSA Thunder Matte .380 ACP is engineered for discreet carry and consistent performance. This traditional double-action/single-action (DA/SA) semi-automatic handgun integrates proven design principles with practical utility, making it a reliable option for personal defense and training applications.
Key Features
Reliable Operation
The Thunder Matte .380 ACP utilizes a direct blowback operating system, a robust mechanism known for its simplicity and consistent cycling with the .380 ACP cartridge. This design promotes reliable feeding, extraction, and ejection, mitigating common stoppages and ensuring consistent function under varied conditions.
Threaded Barrel Integration
Distinguishing this specific model, the factory-threaded barrel significantly enhances the firearm’s utility. This feature facilitates the direct attachment of sound suppressors or other muzzle devices, offering operational versatility without requiring aftermarket modification. The threading is precisely machined, ensuring proper alignment and secure retention of accessories.
Ergonomic Profile
Designed for comfortable handling and concealability, the Thunder Matte features a compact aluminum alloy frame and a steel slide. Its low-profile fixed sights provide a clear sight picture for rapid target acquisition. The grip texture and contour are optimized for a secure purchase, mitigating movement under recoil and facilitating positive control.
Comprehensive Safety Mechanisms
Equipped with a manual safety lever that also functions as a decocker, the Thunder Matte allows for safe hammer lowering. An integral firing pin safety further prevents accidental discharge unless the trigger is fully engaged, enhancing overall operational security and user confidence.
Durable Finish
The matte black finish applied to the slide and frame provides a non-reflective surface that resists corrosion and wear, maintaining the firearm’s integrity and appearance through sustained use and adverse environmental exposure.
