Features: 

The DA/SA trigger lets you carry with the hammer down for a longer, heavier first pull, then subsequent shots in single-action. The integral decocker lowers the hammer safely without pulling the trigger. The 3-dot sight system is the standard setup for the platform. At 6.6 inches overall and 20.5 oz, it fits most holsters sized for compact .380 pistols. The 15+1 capacity is generous for the size class.

The Thunder 380 Plus gets solid marks from owners who use it for concealed carry, with the 15+1 capacity and light weight cited most often as reasons to choose it. The DA/SA trigger system has proponents who like the safety it provides on the first shot. Affordability is a recurring theme -- it often shows up in discussions as a value pick in the .380 ACP compact category.

The double-action trigger pull gets mixed reviews; some find it heavy for first-shot accuracy at distance. Reliability with certain ammunition types has come up in a subset of reviews, particularly with cheaper bulk loads. Weight on the wrist during extended carry gets occasional mention. The overall picture is a functional, affordable compact carry gun with some ammo sensitivity worth noting.

The Thunder 380 Plus feels light and comfortable to carry, while the DA/SA hammer, manual safety, and decocker give me the controls I prefer. It has also been dependable with both ball and hollow point ammunition, with just one failure to feed reported using ball rounds.
