The Thunder 380 is a lightweight, relatively small semi-automatic pistol series chambered in the .380 ACP caliber made by Argentine firearms manufacturer Bersa, S.A.[1]
It is similar in design to the Walther PPK, but also has design features vaguely in common with the compact Beretta 70 pistol; although it sells for about half the price of a PPK.
