I posted on this on another thread but decided this needed its own. Saw this video (https://www.bing.com/videos/search?...concealed+carry+guns+pew+tactical&FORM=HDRSC4) on bad handguns and at the end of the video, the guy claimed the Bersa Thunder was cheaply made and would blow up. My internet search found no other references. I sent this to Bersa and here is their reply. Thought is was interesting to share.
This Guy is an idiot. The Bersa Thunder Series are solid 7076 T6
Aluminum Framed Pistols. He did not nor could not show a picture of one
blown up. As the Primary Master Gunsmith for Bersa Warranty for over 20
years I can state that I have never seen a Bersa Thunder 380 EVER blow
up. I have seen squibbed barrels from bad ammunition ruin a barrel, and
on the very rare occasion have a barrel have a small crack, but NEVER
have I ever seen a serious catastrophic failure from a Bersa Thunder
380.
I will be forwarding this email to Bersa Corporate to have them review
it for possible legal intervention. Thank you for bringing this to our
attention.
