No, but as I have mentioned on another thread I watched a gentleman shoot a Bersa .380 with amazing accuracy at the range. I suspect he was just an excellent marksman, too.

Haven't had any experience with the Bersa either, but Duane gave this comment.

My issue with the Bersa is that it is very large for a .380 ACP.  And its not that easy to shoot (recoil-wise) because its a blowback design.  I think the quality is decent for the money.

While the pistol doesn't appeal to me aesthetically or otherwise, American Rifleman just published a review of the Bersa BP9cc 9 mm written by B. Gil Horman:

I agree with Duane's assessment. Got a chance to shoot my friend's Thunder 380 a few weeks ago and was not impressed. Really made me appreciate how well my 238 shoots.
