I picked up a LNIB Browning BDA-380 Friday, I always thought they were pretty classy looking little pistols and when I found one with a 1982 date code that looked like it had never been fired in the original box with two factory 13rd mags, I had to bring it home.

VERY NICE! I really like the classic look of the Browning!

Great addition! That is a beautiful pistol. I agree 100% with Kauzi, that Browning has a classic look!

Nice looking pistola! For those of you who've shot them, how are they? It's one of the few handguns my wife showed interest in. We looked at the stainless model. I'm trying to convince her to go for her CCW with me, but I don't think she wants too, so we're not really in the market for a gun for her anymore. I'd still like to buy one for her someday though.

Oh, and she called the Browning and the S&W .38 (snub) we were looking at, CUTE! I said, "Woman, guns are not cute, or pretty. They're badass, awesome, coooool, etc..." Anyway, I just thought what she said was funny and I'd share it with y'all.

I've had my blue BDA for a few years now and have liked it since day one. Like others have said, it's classic looking, plus it shoots silky smooth.

The Highnoon Split Dicision holster in the Beretta 8000 size fits it well by the way. http://www.highnoonholsters.com/Prod..._decision.html
