I've been away from handguns for a few years -- just didn't have the disposable income until recently. Also recently, I've become more aware of the need for personal protection.
My experience was with .22LR semi-autos and .22WMR revolvers; I loved my Ruger Single Six with the interchangeable cylinders. But I know I'll need more firepower should I get into a bad spot. I plan to see about a CC class, and to visit a couple of the local ranges to rent a few different guns and practice a bit.
However, I'm impressed by what I've read and seen about the Bersa Thunder .380 CC. I'm sure there are even more impressive guns on the market, but the price I see is hard to beat, I like the way it looks and operates (in videos, anyway), and the reported low recoil and good accuracy are also selling points for me.
The trouble is, none of the online places I've checked seem to have them for sale -- they're all "out of stock/notify me when available." I'll ask at my local dealer. There's also a gun show every 60 days or so in the suburbs. But if the gun is hard to find online, will it be easier to find, or order, at a shop?
I guess what I'm asking is, is this gun (and .380 ammo generally) hard to find right now?
