What's new

Let's see your auto pistols.

I'm looking to get my first handgun. I've done some research, and it looks like I found a nice balance between price, quality, and accuracy with the Bersa Thunder 380. Do any of you gentlemen have any experience with this firearm? Pros? Cons?

My first was a Thunder .380. Still have it and love it. I have friends that have Walthers that aren't as reliable as my Bersa.
 
This is my latest C&R acquisition.

1953 Romanian TTC

Ordered my M&P 9L pro last week, expected to arrive in 6 weeks or so however due to the australian licensing process it will be at least 6 months until I can take legal ownership of it.


Worked it all out earlier, the 2nd weekend of feb 2014 I should have it and be shooting 25mtr and ipsc with it for the first time.
Damn that's a long way away!!!
 
Have only shot 1911 variants in semi auto and revolvers in multiple calibers, looking for a new "toy" . M&P 40, Sig P226 40 or an XDM 40.

Well I haven't seen too many Smith's and no 3rd gens, here we go.

3913 9mm DA/SA single stack beautiful shooter (traded for 3953 don't have a picture on my comp but it's the same gun just DAO) These things have amazing triggers on them!

4014, .40S&W DA/SA somewhat rare only 550 were ever produced, I have since changed the grips back to stock

I also have an LC9 and a M&P9 FS but everyone has seen them before.
 
This is my second favorite pistol I own, my first is probably mt STI Dawson Custom 2011 9mm Limited that I used to run in local and state USPSA matches. That pistol is a laser blaster.

I love this Walther, I lost a bit of weight (90 lbs.) so I have a hard time concealing much of anything without really working to dress around it.

Here's a shot of my Taurus PT1911 that I picked up a couple months ago. This is my first gun and I'm loving it. I switched out the abi-safety for a Wilson. Also with my short fingers I found the stock slide release to be a little too far away so I've got a Wilson extended slide release as well. And to top it off some Raasco grips. I'm very pleased
