The Bersa Thunder has a design based on the Walther PPK. Walther has been making pistols of this nature for nearly 100 years.
The Walther PPK is ~$200--$300 more expensive than the Bersa Thunder. It tends to weigh more than the Bersa. The two pistols function almost identically, one main difference is how the pistol is disassembled.
The Walther is disassembled by pulling down on the trigger guard and pulling the slide back and up, then forward and off. The Bersa has a dedicated disassembly lever on the right side.
One unique feature of the Bersa is that the front of the trigger guard has a finger notch and knurling (checkering) for the off-hand to place a finger on while shooting. Its a small feature that can be used, or ignored.
It then comes down to personal preferences. There may be more variety with Bersa, and some say it has a smoother (easier) action.
