I’ve been using a Bersa Thunder 380 for concealed carry. I’ve liked both carrying and shooting it but I’m not very experienced when it comes to CC.
Today, while loading a magazine, I dropped a full magazine onto a tile floor. The plastic grip extension on the bottom of the magazine broke. The grip extension also serves as the floor plate of the mag. The spring shot some ten feet and all the rounds fell out of the bottom of the magazine.
I’m now envisioning some self defense situation where I am knocked down and hit the bottom of the gun on the ground, creating a similar situation as today. I’d now have, at best, a single shot gun with the one round in the chamber.
What bothers me, beyond the problem above, is these things aren’t cheap. I can’t remember what I paid for the extra magazines but it wasn’t much below $30 I don’t think.
Is it too much to ask to put a metal floor plate on and a plastic grip extension over that? I’m actually considering selling it over this. Am I over thinking this?
