This Thunder Pro Ultra Compact series pistol pairs a 3.6 in barrel with a compact 6.81 in overall length, 5.08 in height, and 1.46 in width, keeping the .45 ACP package easy to carry and handle. Unloaded weight is 27 oz, and capacity is 7+1.
Its operating system is DA/SA with a short-recoil, locked-breech design. Controls include an ambidextrous manual safety/decocker, a reversible magazine release, and an exposed spur hammer. Safety features also include a firing pin safety and a top-mounted loaded chamber indicator.
The alloy frame keeps weight manageable, while the factory wraparound textured polymer grip is currently fitted with an aftermarket rubber slip-on sleeve featuring finger grooves and a pebbled texture to provide a secure hold. The dust cover features Bersa’s proprietary side grooves and does not include an integrated Picatinny rail; a separate adapter is required to mount rail-based accessories.
Sight configuration is a fixed 3-dot set with an integral front blade and a drift-dovetailed rear notch. The slide uses rear serrations for manipulation and incorporates the top-mounted loaded chamber indicator. Markings note manufacture by Bersa S.A. in Ramos Mejia, Argentina, with import marks from RSA Enterprises Inc., Ocean NJ. This model has been discontinued and was later superseded by the TPR line.
