Self-defense on the Cheap

You don’t need to spend a month’s pay for a good handgun.  There are several alternatives out there for less than $300.  Case in point: the Bersa Thunder.

This little gun really surprised me.  I was function-testing it for a customer, and the group on the right comprised the first magazine.  Impressed, I reloaded and touched off eight more.

For ~$250, you could do far worse.  Even considering my marginal marksmanship, the little Argentine pistol is as mechanically accurate as anything I’ve shot.
