***New to Canada*** BERSA THUNDER 9 PRO SEMI-AUTO 9mm

Tactical Imports said:
I'd say close to a P226 classic grip, but controls are all still easily reachable. Fits good in the hand and feels very comfortable/natural.

Thanks Nick, you already got me. Committed this past Friday! ;)

Truthfully, you already won my heart earlier when you started with a sultry 'We are happy to introduce for the first time in Canada, the Bersa Thunder 9 Pro'.
 
I hope there is either a printed (paper) English manual or an English language manual on CD for the Bersa Thunder 9 Pro pistol that comes delivered with it.
Can you confirm that there is please?

Searching online in advance, all I can find to download is the Argentine/Spanish language version, no English.
Surely, they must have an English version?, since they are already sold in the States as well. :confused:

Me no habla espanol. English please por favor.

Yes, comes with an English manual. Its the same manuals for the USA imports, so ignore the stuff about returning to the USA distributor for repairs/warranty work.

For Anyone still on the fence. I got mine last week.. And my initial imressions are that this is an awesome pistol. So far only 2 range trips.. But ive managed to get 300 rounds through it and im very happy. Im still planning on posting a review once ive had it shooting a dozen or so times.

Thanks for your feedback! :)
 
I picked up the Bersa a few years ago from another dealer; but the instructions were in Spanish.
Could someone please send me scans of the English Version?

Houston, Vega and Fobus make holsters.

I looked these 3 holster makers up online, and all I can find are leather carry holsters by them.
There's no proper tactical holster I can find for the Bersa Thunder 9 Pro model.
I am looking for a decent level I retention holster, that would be useable for CQB, IPSC IDPA, etc. Haven't found one yet.
Has anybody out there found a good tactical holster for the Bersa Thunder 9 Pro yet? Maybe a kydex one similar to a Bladetech style or something like that? I've run out of places to look for them. Is this going to have to be something I need to get custom made? (hope not)
Cheers.

We put our order in for Bersa made holsters (both left and right hand). We'll be ordering in the Fobus SG 239 holster as well

If you look at a Sig 239, you can see that the trigger guard is shaped differently than a Bersa Thunder 9 Pro. Since most retention holsters that we use for tactical purposes here (like for CQB, IPSC, IDPA) depend on snapping around the trigger guard, as well as other friction areas, I can't see how a Sig 239 holster will securely hold a Bersa Thunder 9 Pro, particularly if one wants a snug Level I retention type, let alone a higher level retention like II or III. This seems to be a false rumour on the net that they are that similar. I found a site where it's actually pointed out why a holster that fits the Sig wouldn't work well on the Bersa unless you reworked the kydex around the trigger guard. I've never seen them side by side myself, but from photos, there may be other areas where they don't match.

Nick, If you do get in the Fobus holster for the Sig 239, please do report back to us to let us know what how it fits (or not).

If anyone else has got a tactical style holster that they know works on the Thunder 9 Pro, I'd be keen to know about it. (not leather carry holsters like they use in the USA which not many people here have a use for).
 
BTW,
I did find an English manual for download on the Bersa sight, if anyone needs one to read or print out:

http://www.bersa.com.ar/descargas-en.html
(pick the icon in the top left of the group for download, under "Handbook")
It has the title "Thunder Pro Series", so once you open it up to read, you'll see it covers ALL that series, including the Thunder 9 Pro and Thunder 40 Pro models.

Cheers.
