I have a Ruger MK III 22/45 and was looking for another fun plinker. I love the MK and it’s a tack driver.
Considered the Ruger SR 22, Walther PPK/s and the Bersa Thunder 22. Ended up with the Bersa. Nice little pistol, lots of cool factor and an easy $60 cheaper than any of the others. It’s been nearly flawless with MiniMags but will choke on standar velocity rounds. No matter, it is perfect for punching paper and tin cans.
I like it enough that I got a Bersa 380. Both are well made, accurate and just fun to shoot.
