traded in my glock 30 last week for a bersa thunder 45uc pro.I have to say it was the best move i have made in a long time.I tried everything with my glock 30 to get it to function right and it never did!I sent it to glock several times they would send it back it would fire fine for about 50 rounds and then start jamming or failing to feed and a couple of times the slide fell off!So getting sick of the lack of dependability.I traded it in.I was going to get another 1911 but the only one they had at the gun shop was in bad shape so i passed.I was about to trade it in on a kel tec p11 but then saw the bersa tucked away in the corner of the case and my eyes about bounced out of my head when i saw it was a 45 because i didn't really want to down grade to a 9mm ! I knew bersa made 380 and 9mm but a 45 that's gotta be sweet!I have never owned a bersa until now and after 500 rds and zero issues it has proven to be a more dependable pistol than the glock 30 i had ever was.I also like how it has a manual saftey and a decocker as well as everything being ambidextrous.The pistol is also an entirely metal pistol and when i popped it on my scale it is lighter than the glock! it may have only been by a couple oz but it was lighter.the bersa has 7 rd double stack mags as opposed to the 10 rounds the glock had which was nice.But at the same time if i cant send those 10 rounds down the barrel then what good is it?The bersa functioned flawlessly and did just fine with P+ ammo and hollow points.The other thing about the bersa i liked was the price i bought mine at AJI in Mesa AZ out the door for 399.99 brand new! so after all i went through with glock and never being able to resolve my problems with their product i fixed it myself and traded it in on a fully functional quality dependable pistol that costs almost half the price with twice the value.I will never own a glock again as this was the second one i have owned that proved to be a P.O.S. I am however looking to get a few other bersas and i hear they have a 1911 out there by the name of American classic.Searched it out online and a new 1911 can be had for under 400 bucks and it is mil spec!
