   Sure thing.   
      
   The Bersa Thunder .380 is my EDC for several reasons the first one is that it   
   fits my hand perfectly.  My index finger rests on the slide release lever and   
   that is comfortable for me since I have arthritis (I took my right hand almost   
   completely off of my arm in a car accident in March 2008; it was reattached   
   using a plate with four pins and a pin on the other side.  My hand sits about   
   -30 degrees to the left of my arm due to the surgery.) and the nice rubber   
   grip is comfortable.  Plus it doesn't have quite the kick a 9mm does but the   
   drawback is ammo sometimes.   
      
   The new Thunder .380s are all Cerakoted from the factory and come with a   
   threaded barrel.  Yay!  Once I start working, I'm going to try to buy another   
   one.   
      
   I just sat down and cleaned my Bersa for the first time in months.  There was   
   some surface rust around the hammer and the back part of the slide but it all   
   came off.  I made sure to oil everything properly.  When I can afford it, I   
   will be dropping this gun off to get Cerakoted at a local gun shop.   
      
   It's a small gun but much larger than a LCP or LCP II which I couldn't shoot   
   at all.
