Why is that?

Both are classy handguns from an era when guns, like cars, had more character than they often do these days. I think I'd still take the 84 for its frame mounted thumb safety and ability to be carried cocked and locked, as I'm not a fan of either the BDA's slide mounted safety/decocker or its pretty much mandatory DA/SA transition if carrying with round chambered, but I'm well aware that one can get quite proficient with it if they put in the practice. Thanks for making this vid - I had no idea Beretta made the BDA 380 for Browning.

Wow....impressive. MG Dad has some impressive stuff 👏 👏👏

Nice video! The Browning BDA is definitely a top quality pistol. I have the 7,65mm version. In Europe, the model is known as the FN 140 DA.

I have a Beretta 84fs and shot it for the first time awhile recently that little joker thumps for a 380 the non cutout slide of the BDA makes sense to me now

Up grade your recoil spring

"I'm gonna make a video about the Browning BDA, but I'm gonna talk about the Beretta 92."

I carry an 84b fully decocked, safety off, in double action

You should get in contact with ian at forgotten weapons about the more rare or forgotten guns in your collection to do videos on, such a collab would not only bring alot of viewership (although I know this is probably just a hobby) but I think it would be very cool!

I tried that once before he wasn’t interested

An idea for a multi part series…original designs and manufacturing versus replicants, rebranded varieties, copies, etc.

It’s a good idea but cost prohibited since I’d have to buy all the guns. I am thinking of doing a video on a BHP clone.

Yup, understood. Funny though, the BHP is exactly what I had in mind. I have a BHP and a FEG that is similar to it. People who see it think it’s a copy of the BHP, but it’s not - different mag well angle, decocker. More of a SW59 than a BHP.

@@ShadyNH interesting side note on your FEG. Saddem hussien liked the BHP so he tried to buy thousands. The arms dealer sold him FEG’s not BHP’s Everyone thinks it’s a BHP but it’s not. Iraq was under embargo. So fn could not sell them hi powers

@@psp1921tsmg interesting, thanks. The FEG is surprisingly a decent shooter for what it is. Id be curious to find some import history on them.

You have an FFL. How many of your machineguns are post-samples, vs how many would be super expensive transferables today, in general?

About 85 percent post samples. Which unfortunately seem to be going up in price like crazy as kits dry up

@@psp1921tsmg Yeah. There's a few guns I know we'll never get, stuff like Type 64s, L85s, that kind of thing that, if the laws were different both here and in their own countries, would come but that era might just be over forever here pretty soon.

Browning BDA is a Beretta model 84 with a close slide and a different hammer same exact gun made by Beretta how could it possibly be anything but excellent

The beretta 80 series including the BDA are excellent pistols

My 84 has too smooth a front and rear strap. The grip feels slick. I need some checkered grips and grip tape on the aluminum.

Get either the latter checkered 84 grips or the plastic grips. I think that will improve it

You underline the similarities and differences of the Beretta 84 Mod B 380 versus the Browning BDA 380 yet haven’t really made the case why the latter is the better firearm, save the shooter’s personal preference?! Some might prefer the exposed barrel of the Beretta while eschewing the far smaller Brass-ejection port on the Browning...

I agree the open top beretta is more favorable ejection system but the identical controls of the bda to the 92fs out weigh that in my opinion
