Bersa Thunder 9 PRO BB Pistol Kit

My fault for not doing more research. Surprised it's all plastic , except for the magazine . Wanted a threaded muzzle soooo bad ! And had the faux suppressor came with it. So goodie. But it's plastic also. I chose the wrong one evidently. I wanted smooth metal . I knew it wasn't blowback . But since I was able to get a Sig Sauer P226 pellet pistol for only 20 dollars more . It is however a fun toy and with a scope and a light/lazer combo it looks !pretty sweet .Point of it all is spend the extra money and research time to get what you REALLY want .

Nothing that hind sight hasn't fixed . Thanks

I've never been able to get the bb pushrod to release after filling up the magazines !!!

Realistic looking. Weight is good. Plastic construction, but feels solid. Inexpensive mags.

Include an extra mag (2 extra total) and don't include the muzzle extension.

Just buy it you won't be disappointed.

I am rating this product within its price point. Appearance wise it looks okay but it is molded plastic and therefore lacks any details to give it an authentic appearance. There are no working parts other than the trigger and magazine release. The magazine is well made, sturdy and is 100% reliable in operation. It loads easily. I bought the kit offering for the extra magazine, CO2 and BB's. I have no interest in the suppressor and I have not used it on the pistol during my testing.

Within the price point, I have no complaints. The gun is reasonably well constructed, reliable and accurate. The sights print low and slightly left with most ammunition, but it groups almost all BB's tested into less than 1-1/2" at 6 yards. The best of the BB's are consistently around 1-1/8". This was for 5 shots with the open sights. I found that most of the group spread was from variation in my alignment of the open sights from shot to shot as I could not be more precise with my 65 year old eyes and corrective lenses while shooting standing and unsupported. I afterward installed a laser on the rail and my groups became much more consistent and uniform. I now could shoot most BB's into less than an inch at the same indoor yardage.

The velocity rating of 400 fps is not consistent with my Chronographed velocities. Standard steel BB's average around 450 fps velocity when fired with a one-minute pause between shots. This gun will make its velocity claims even if fired rapidly. Because of the velocity I was getting, I loaded up some of the Excite 7.7 gr. plated lead shot. This was the most consistently accurate ammo in my gun and delivered 375 fps average velocity. It grouped with open sights around 1-3/16 inches at 6 yards free standing. I later went to the bench and did some 10 yard shooting using a rest and the open sights with the Excite ammunition. I was able to shoot groups of right under 1-1/16" several times. The shots were landing an inch high but right on windage wise. It was bright sun and I could not see my laser dot at that range in those conditions. I am persuaded that on a cloudy day or in deep shade the laser would allow for even better groups, so this pistol has very good accuracy.
