This is a Browning BDA-380, also known as the Beretta 84. It's a double-stack .380 ACP pistol with a 13-round capacity, making it the second (of three) "high-capacity" handgun in my collection (the others are the Sig 226 I acquired earlier this year and, oddly enough, my Smith & Wesson model 422 .22LR...)It's a very nice firearm: well-made, shoots very well even given the smallish sights, takes down for cleaning quite easily. Unfortunately, though, it's awfully heavy for a .380, and while the capacity is more than twice the P3AT, the weight is at least 3X... It doesn't get carried at all, and for plinking, .380 ACP's much more expensive than 9mm, .40 S&W, or even .45 ACP these days, so she doesn't get out of the safe much.
Hmmm. Might be time to bring the ol' girl to the range...
That is all.

It's a Browning; 'nuff said.
Sorry, theres's a little mistake. The Browning BDA-380 and the Beretta 84 are two different guns… The BDA was made in Italy under license for Browning, but it's NOT the Beretta 84. They may look quite similar, but are different. The main difference is the safety: slide-mounted on the BDA and frame-mounted on the Beretta…
Always sorry to read false informations on the net…
