Depends.
For the Bersa Thunder 380, I played with the Pro Mag and the factory mag. Fed a couple boxes through each. No problems with either.
The spring in the Pro Mag feels a little less tense, but it's actually easier to load; it has a much smoother feel. I tried to induce a malfunction using snap caps, etc. but couldn't get a FTF out of it.
The thing is though, I don't think the Bersa factory magazine is that great to begin with. But it does seem to work.
Both of the magazines were so tight when I first got them that I've been keeping snap caps in them to loosen them up ever so slightly. Well guess what. Both of them are still as tight as the day I got them.
I'd carry a Pro Mag full of hollow points for this gun with confidence. Or at least this particular Pro Mag. I wouldn't give someone a magazine I don't feel comfortable with myself.
I'll get my aunt another factory magazine for Christmas just in case.
But I don't think Pro Mag would be my first choice for the vast majority of guns. I think it only works out here because it's an inexpensive gun in the first place.
