The Bersa Thunder Pro Ultra Compact 45ACP has the features I want on my next CCW, but I don't know anything about the brand. Would you trust your life with one?

Not me. I doubt others would too. That being said, what are the chances this gun won't fire 1 round when you need it to? Highly unlikely that it wouldn't fire.
I'd worry first about ammo being reliable over a gun.

That's all I need to know. Thanks.
Well, let others chime in first.
I am going by the ancillary comments and talk about Bersa, not personal experience. I think I have not owned a Bersa because of the talk.I think MPDC said about a Bersa, it makes just a good range gun.

I have bersa thunder combat 380. Different animal all together i understand however, my pistol is great! Never had an issue, eats all diff ammo i feed it. In first 1000 rounds only problem i ever had was prob in first couple mags at the range when 1 round didnt chamber. Ever since, flawless.

I have the same and have never had a problem with it. Actually, it's what my daughter uses for CCW so if I trust it for her...
Never owned one, but did rent a 22 lr a couple of times when I was teaching my oldest granddaughter to shoot. It appeared to have been shot a lot and not cleaned or lubed often. It ran flawlessly for the one or two hundred rounds we put though it per session.
The only reason I don't own one is I've never seen one in a shop when I was pistol shopping.

Argentine military, or was it Brazil?
The Thunder pro UC shouldn't be compared to their Walther copy.
It's a bit bulky for ccw though, why not the 9mm version?
Fully ambidextrous and some merit where others in the same category lack. Comes in useful when say you are right handed and sig other is lefty.

I can't speak for the .45, but my .380 is flawless.
I had the Bersa UC Pro 9mm. Never jammed in nearly 1000 rounds (I know that's not a lot, but never a hiccup at all). Only reason I sold it was that the grip was a bit too thick for my hands.
Not sure you've seen this vid, but these guys ran 1500 rounds straight with no issues. I can't seem to embed video, but here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvB93CmCndo

I have a Thunder in 22lr for training new shooters. It has been completely reliable. I think the quality for the modest price is very good.

Just another shooter
I have a Thunder 380 Combat model. It is a great combination of reliability, concealability, ease of maintenance, and affordability. I trust it for CCW, and with quality defensive ammo like Hornady Critical Defense, it is up to the task.

I have a 45 compact pro I bought new about 6 years ago and it's been flawless. I carried it daily untill my wife got her paws on it now it's her bedside gun. Night sights are easily available it has the same cuts as a sig.

I have several friends with the Bersa .380 and I have fired it several times. Always fired. It wasn't for me however, i went the M&P shield route.
Buy the Bersa
I have a Bersa Thunder UC Pro 9 (the 9mm version of the pistol you are looking at). It is a fantastic pistol and is my ED carry. I am thinking about buying a second one as a spare.
I have probably shot about 3,000 rounds through this pistol and I have not had one misfire- ever. I wish I could say the same for my Rugers. I doubt those in this thread who crap on this brand have had much actual experience with the brand.
Buy the pistol. I highly doubt you will regret it.

Who crapped on the brand? They all seem fine. Did you read any of the comments?

For great Justice
Owned a Thunder 380 for a little while, decent cheap little pistol, but a big difference between a blowback, and locked breech, lots more to go wrong. Being alloy frame/hammer fired DA/SA there are a lot of newer designs on the market that are much smaller and lighter with simpler controls and consistent triggers. Would take a lighter, slimmer, smaller and proven G30S anyday over the Bersa if I were in the market for a compact-midsize 45 CCW.
