Let me tell you about the bersa thunder. It's inexpensive, and it fires every time I pull the trigger. I think it's a nice little piece. I don't carry it, but a loved one has several times. After a little carrying in an iwb holster getting a little sweat on it, the mag release button rusted inside the frame. I'm still working on getting it loose. I have everything stripped in a bag with solvent. I've pissed with it on and off for a couple weeks, and I can't get it to release the mag. Jewtube hasn't helped.
