I am considering one of these two guns as my primary conceal/carry weapon. Can anyone tell me if they have used them, and if they like them or not? Thanks!

I had a Bersa .380 for about 5 years and it never gave me any problems.
They are pretty cheap so as you can imagine they aren't super accurate, but they are accurate enough to get the job done. I never had any problems with jamming, it always fed smooth.
If you are looking for the best of the cheap, then go with a Bersa and you wont be sorry.

The .380 are smaller and lower in stopping power than the 9mm. My brother has a Bersa .380 Thunder and the gun is superb in reliability and in value [ $240].

I've put a few thousand rounds through a Bersa 9mm without any problems. It doesn't group as well as my other 9's (Kahr, Springfield XD, Beretta and Glock) but I didn't expect it to.
I don't see any reason not to get the Bersa. The price is still low but with the dollar falling I expect to see Bersa prices increasing in the near future.
And get plenty of ammo. The industry has announced increases again this month.

Don't know why others dont like these weapons as so many others love them.
Here is what some people think of them.

Personaly I think the .380 to puny. But then I am a .45 auto or .44 mag kind of fellow.

assuming you have a conceal/carry permit . . . I'd go for 9MM over .380, because of superior ballistics. Consider spending a little more on a quality gun, Ruger makes great ones

From what I hear they are not the best of firearms. A buddy of mine sitting next to me says they are actually very good. I would not buy one if I had the choice.

Bersa is a cheaply made gun, and is not reliable. By a Ruger P-series. They are one of the the more reliable guns, and are inexpensive.

9mm is a german pistol round from ww-11---most 9mm pistols today are the same as the parubellum, of the war.
.380 is a 9mm kurtz--german for ---short
.380--just not as long a case.
bersa-guns are crap---real crap--the calibre is fine
