 Hey there friends, thanks for checking in. Today we're looking at a Bursa Thunder 380. Very popular model. I would venture to guess the most popular 380 handgun is right here with the Bursa Thunder. That's just me talking, but I know so many people who own this gun. They like the function of it. They like the full-size feel in a subcompact model that they hold onto them and that's just been my experiences and people love the way they shoot. Now what makes this different is that it has a threaded barrel. One half by 28 threads, so that allows the shooter to use a suppressor 9mm or higher or larger would work just fine so long as that it will accept one half by 28 threads. It also extends the barrel length so the average Bursa Thunder has a three and a half inch barrel. This has a four and a quarter inch barrel so you get that additional velocity, you get that additional accuracy. I'll be taking this to the range shortly and we will definitely check it out. But here we have a single-stack 8-round magazine with a finger extension and I do like that for three-finger contact, more control of the gun. The beaver tail extends a little bit too for that additional control. Pretty nice. It does have an aluminum frame. Alright and you can see that it has a key there that fits in there. That can lock up the entire frame rendering it useless or you can just not use it at all which is my choice and then that just kind of fits flush there. It's not going to engage itself. There's no way you need that key. It does have checkered polymer grips. Alright both sides. Nice looking feel to it. We'll go ahead and check clear. It also has a magazine disconnect which is common with many bursas and it also has a slide mounted safety decocker. Alright so we go ahead and safely decock the gun that renders the trigger useless and the hammer will not be able to charge. You could charge a round but that's it. You can see that it puts the hammer right back to its rest position and then you can flip it back up and you're good to go. Double action single action so that we're looking at a heavy double action and then here's what we're looking at for a reset. Right there. Alright the controls are easy to get to. You know you got the slide release right here that's easy the thumb safety decocker right there. It's easy. Now it does have three dot sights and you can see that the the rear sights are a bit small. The the front dot is larger. Alright you can see that decent sight picture. Pick up that large dot rather quickly but overall pretty nice. I can see why this is very popular. It's priced right. People love them. Has eight rounds opposed to six. You know aluminum frame which is attractive feature for many people. There are so many people that say you know what don't give me do not give me those plastic guns. I want I want metal. A lot of people like that. To disassemble the gun first thing you need to do is take off the thread cap. Alright you can see there and the business end there that that slide is not coming off over that. We're gonna pull back the slide and then I'm gonna take this lever push it down just hold it, lift up, give a little shake there and off comes the slide and the recoil spring just like that. Fixed barrel four and a quarter inches long. It's got kind of a cool look to it you know. Check that out and then to reassemble just do it again reverse and then once again you're gonna have to there's a bar under there that pushes down when you move that so I'm just going to move it just like that and once again it has a magazine disconnect just like that and you're good to go. Let's get it on the scale. We'll take a look at the unloaded weight. One pound three and five eighths ounces. We move it just the ounces nineteen and three quarters or nineteen and five eighths. What if I keep that thread cap on there? Nineteen and seven eighths but let's go ahead load it up with eight rounds. I've got that right here. You know a little interesting side story about this. I've got a friend who goes about six three two hundred fifty pounds just this huge guy and he's been carrying for years and I asked him I say well what do you what are you carrying these days? He said I got a burst of thunder 380 on my ankle right now. I'm like are you serious? Like this is the kind of guy that you would expect to have a Glock 17. You know full size. This big dude. Now I'm not a big fan of ankle carry. I have before but he's like yeah I like that burst of thunder on the ankle. So even though it has a metal frame you can see that it's not too heavy. Here we're looking at 22 and five eighths ounces. We got our carry around. These are our target loads 22 and seven eighths ounces. So it's a lightweight gun. It's a small gun but there are smaller out there but it's a well put together gun and if you like that double action single action trigger which I do if you have a can and want to shoot this suppressed what a great choice right here with the burst of thunder 380 and I'll be taking this out this weekend. So look for a range review and I look forward to sharing that with you. If you like videos like this please subscribe and share. I always appreciate thumbs up button.
