The all steel Model 83 was manufactured from 1989 to 1994, superseding the prior 383 and 383-A. The new 83 omitted an external slide catch, opting for an internal mechanism whereby the user would pull back a locked slide in order to release it. Magazines bundled with the pistol carried 6 or 7 rounds of .380 ACP. The Model 83 adopted a 'combat' trigger guard, providing a finger-rest thereby. The Model 83 was offered in blued or nickel finishes.

The Model 383 was the first .380 ACP magazine-pistol produced by BERSA, and set the basic look for all BERSA's .380 pistols to come. Manufactured from 1983 to 1985 with a single action 'slab' trigger, and a 7-round magazine, it had an all-steel construction, with a long, curving slide stop doubling as the trigger pin. It sported a trigger safety right behind the trigger, and a magazine catch near the heel of the grip. A slide-mounted hammer-blocking safety was also included. See similar questions...

It's a "lost" chapter of the manga. In Japan mangas are published first (one chapter at time) in "container magazines" and later they became volumes like the ours (for example berserk is published on magazine "Young Animal"). During the passage from magazine to the volume, the author can modify something: for example, the flashback regarding the life of Farnese and Serpico was originally placed immediately after Albione's saga.

BERSA firearms are manufactured near the city of Ramos Mejia in the province of Entre Rios, in Argentina. BERSA Sociedad Anomina was founded in 1958 by three Italian immigrants: Benso Bonadimani, Ercole Montini and Savino Caselli. In the Chapterhouse discussion forum, Enrique Solis has posted that the BERSA name is actually taken from the first syllables of the three partners' first names. See similar questions...

MIM stands for Metal Injection Moulding, which involves filling a precise mould with metal powder that's been combined with a polymer binder, so that the mold can be removed and reused, before the bonded metal object is heated until the polymer burns off and the metal grains fuse.

In the United States, the DLX stands for de Luxe (Luxury), and the DLX model of the Thunder 380 comes standard with 9-round magazines rather than 7-round magazines, and a nice blued finish it isn't offered in my country, so I can't really comment further. Indeed, in other countries, there is no DLX assignation, and the basic Thunder 380 (in any of the three standard finishes) is sold with two or even three 9-round magazines included.

The single-stack Series 95 was BERSA's pioneer aluminium alloy frame .380, and marked a brief return to the rounded trigger guard profile of the old 383's. A return to using an external slide catch and longer frame-rails further distinguished the Series 95 from its immediate ancestors. See similar questions...

The Thunder 380 Super is the double-stack-magazine counterpart to the slim, single-stack, aluminium alloy frame Thunder 380 that we all know and love, and (obviously, hehe) chambered for the same cartridge. The 'Super' is an all-steel pistol with generally the same profile as the Thunder 380. Because it uses a double-stack 15 round magazine, the grip is thicker, and sports a wraparound rubber grip-panel. See similar questions...

Don't quote me on this, but it seems that the Thunder 380 Plus is simply a Thunder 380 Super bundled with a 'nerfed' 10-round magazine ---apparently an attempt to get the Super around a US ban on magazines with capacities beyond ten rounds (the ban was only lifted in 2004, save effectively in some states like California).

I've heard several negative comments about Class of 83 not getting it together to have their own reunion in 2003. These comments are completely uncalled for as classmates from 83 were just as instrumental in planning and organizing the reunion as those from 84. . For the record: If it wasn't for Matt Monaghan pushing me (Dan Harley) about my class reunion plans when he did, 84 would have missed the window to have a 20-year reunion in 2004.

It's true that many people have had a Steinberger for years, and never really known what exact model they own. Most people are familiar with the classic 'L' boat oar style, but a couple variations of this "body less" style exist and, in addition to numerous full strat-style bodies that have been introduced over the years.
