For those seeking stopping power without the bulk, Bersa has unveiled their Bersa Thunder Ultra Compact Pro pistol series in 9mm, .40 S&W and .45 ACP.

Essentially a smaller version of its big brother the Thunder Pro, the Bersa Thunder Ultra Compact Pro employs an improved Browning Petter barrel locking system for reliable feeding and ejection. As the press release notes, the safety, cocking lever, slide stop levers and magazine catch are ambidextrous. The frame has a Picatinny rail for lasers and lights. The barrel bore has been micro-polished with sharp, deep polygonal rifling for increased accuracy. In addition, this pistol series has a visible 3-dot sight system.

The Bersa Thunder Ultra Compact Pro is available in matte black and Duo-tone (matte black frame and stainless slide) finishes. MSRP starts at $536.00. See below for additional details.
