The Bersa Thunder 9UC is my daily carry piece and I love it. It holds 13 rounds and is one of the best kept secrets out there in good deals. My son just picked up a Bersa 45UC and is very happy with his, except for the cost of ammo.
Glad to see a good word about the Bersa 9UC since I have one on layaway.
I have seen many different websites talk about it, and have seen almost nothing negative. More so quotes like yours, as well as: "best deal out there" "best gun Bersa makes" "worst thing about it is trying to find one" etc.
