Bersa Thunder 380

[Uncle Timbo]

Folks my buddy bought one 2nd hand from somebody he knows and would like to put night sights on her. Can anyone steer him in the right direction?
Thanks in advance.

Meprolite is the only one making night sights for Bersa that I know of. They probably cost a good percentage of what the pistol cost.

Thanks UffDa, I showed him those and he said in the reviews from there or somewhere, somebody said they wouldn't fit his?

Unfortunately, Bersa is not a real popular brand and there isn't much available. His best bet is to take the pistol to a gunsmith and find out what it's going to cost to install
a set of sights. I expect that it will cost about what he paid for the pistol. (Parts and labor = $200 and up in our shop)

If the Meprolight sights won't fit, you're talking about cutting dovetails and other expensive work. Most good gunsmiths charge $65 to $85 per hour for shop time.

Of course, your buddy could try to do it himself.

Thanks brother, I completely understand where you're coming from.

My friend read where one guy said after you send 300-400 rds down her she'll chew up anything?
