Was a little worried about fitment on current 2021 Bersa Thunder Plus given the inconsistent reviews on this sight set having the front dovetail or not but the model shipped in December of 2021 did. Front sight went on easily but the rear sight required a few passes with a precision metal file on the slide "shelf" overhang to go on. Big upgrade IMHO over the stock plastic sights but be aware that these are combat sights with large dots and not precision target sights. Perfect for anything inside of 20 yards, which is about the max practical range for a thunder .380 anyhow. As always with Meprolights they glow really strong in the dark.
Cons:
- not a precision sight, requires minor fitment
Would recommend: Yes

Ordered off of optics plant, description says for model with dovetail. But picture shows the front sight with the tenon post. These are dovetail, which I needed. Only needed to do a little filing to get it to fit in the notch. The Lyman sight pusher was great at getting it in place. Sight picture was greatly improved and much easier to pick up then the lower factory sights. And the shot placement was point of aim, not low or way high like I have ran into before. Was very happy with them.
Would recommend: Yes

Great product! Much brighter than I would have expected. Sights are slightly larger than original. Target acquisition is greatly improved in the daylight. The front sight is the dovetail. Did have to have them professionally installed.
Would recommend: Yes

I took my Bersa 380 Thunder to a gunsmith for the Meprolight night sight installation. The sights had to be extensively altered, filed, for installation. The installation process was difficult to say the least. I have at this time, not retaken possession of the gun so I'm unable to comment on shooting the gun at the range. The gunsmith is a close personal friend so I have no reason to disbelieve his installation comments.
Best Used for:

The TRUDOT sights appear to be well made however, These will only work with a DOVETAIL front sight slide! The photo on the description page is wrong. To be fair it does state in the details page that they are dovetail. Read before you buy!
Would recommend: No

When the sight arrived, it was well and securely packaged. Once installed the sight was well illuminated at night. I won’t hesitate to use these sights on my other pistols. As an older person with compromised vision, these sights were easy to see. I feel more secure with this product when I go out at night.

Even though advertised as proper for the weapon, rear requires substantial gunsmithing. Once in cant be pushed without removal and more reductions to the base. The optics are fine, they just don't fit.
Would recommend: No

Meprolight make a great night sight. Very crisp. The three dot sights present sufficient illumination in low light situations, allowing you to focus on the sight picture than trying to find the sights. Delivery was quick. I had a gunsmith install them for around $50.

Works well on my Bersa Thunder 380-easily visible in low light. These take sight pusher tools to install for you DIY'rs.
Pleased with my results, but do your home work and check to see if they fit your pistol by your serial number.
Would recommend: Yes

These are solid sights at a good price, but the rear was incredibly loose and I had to Loctite it into place. It has not shifted any from holster wear or shooting since that. The dots are bright and easy to pick up, but when shooting, even at 25 yards, the sights when mounted on the Compact were aiming a bit high. Be sure to take this into account, but nonetheless buy with confidence.
