I don't think the P3AT is significantly cheaper than the Bersa, depending on which model of Bersa .380 you get. The big difference is going to be in size and weight. I own a P3AT and love it. It goes bang every time I pull the trigger and disappears in any pants pocket.AggieC05 wrote:if you are looking at the .380 consider the KelTec P3AT, if you want more info visit. It is a great little .380 that would free up some funds(aka a lot cheaper than the bersa). The Ruger LCP is just a copy of KelTec's design.
pay attention to the size difference as well. There is also a +1 extension for the P3AT to make it hold 7+1 like the Bersa
hmm think i might be pushing the P3AT a little hard, what can I say I love me some KelTec, great guns for a great price and tons of help if you ever need it on KTOG.
If you're talking about new gun purchases (as opposed to used), you likely won't find the HK and a BUG for sub-$1000. The PX4 Storm Sub is still hard to find, and I did not think that they had released the .40 version, yet. The full-size is readily available and quite popular, though. I like the XD line, though I have not seen an XDm in person, yet. In short, I have no real experience with any of the big guns you're looking into. I know you'll have lots of fun figuring out which one(s) will be best for you!
