Actually that's why I asked if there was a reason the OP wanted a .380. I've shot the Bersa and thought it was well made and a decent price just a bit large for a .380 unless they've trimmed it down.

'Course I feel the same way about the Walther .380.

The OP was asking for advice and if he or she is choosing .380 for compactness then a Ruger,S&W, Sig or Colt have smaller, thinner pistols.

If recoil is the deciding factor then the Bersa would be a good choice. Not too small and easier to handle than the mouse guns.

The other factor is availability of .380. It's more expensive than, say, 9 mm and much harder to get. During the last big panic it was virtually impossible to find.

.380s can be a handy little pistol. Had 2 Colt Mustang Pocket Lites that I really liked but had to sell when I was in school.

I've heard that Colt is making them again.

Good to hear from you JRandom. Hope you are okay.

Yeah, I know you were. I was just throwing my $0.02 out there.

.380 makes sense for me because I have thousands of rounds available without ever having to buy any more for the rest of my life. Yay Y2K. I didn't buy TP for over a decade. ;)

Most of the auto pistol stuff I've given up for revolvers at this point until I get stronger.

I wasn't attacking you, even if I sound like that sometimes.

Just throwing my bit in there, and why I take very little advice. ;)
