Analysis

The TPR40C (Thunder Pro Redesigned Compact) is the .40 S&W compact companion in Bersa’s locked-breech TPR series. It retains the alloy-frame DA/SA layout, external hammer, Picatinny rail, ambidextrous controls, loaded-chamber indicator, and polygonal rifling of the earlier Thunder Pro Compact while refining the grip shape, trigger, and overall ergonomics. Bersa introduced it in early 2018 alongside the TPR9C and TPR45C as the compact service-style option in .40 S&W. A full-size TPR40 exists in Argentina and some export markets, but the TPR40C is the version offered in the United States. It remains in production.
