Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Browning BDA-380 is a new model that was made to replace the FN 1922/Browning 125 in the company's line-up. The pistol is a derivative of Beretta Model 81 and/or 84, distinguished by a closed cylinder head and a different safety system.It was available in .32 ACP and .380 ACP, with the .32 ACP variant manufactured by FN Herstal for European markets while Beretta manufactured the .380 ACP variants at their own factories on behalf of FN Herstal.
However, Beretta did not sell these pistols under its own brand. Instead, the .380 variants by Beretta were sold as Browning BDA 380 by Browning Arms Company for the North American markets. The Beretta/Browning model is distinguished by its markings, with the right side of the slide being marked "Fabrique National Herstal" with the FN logo followed by "Made in Italy", and the left side of the slide bearing the marking "Browning Arms Co. Morgan Utah & Montreal, P.Q."It failed commercially, despite some purchases by the Belgian Judicial Police for female officers. The production of the FN 140DA pistol was discontinued in 1987, while Beretta/Browning version was withdrawn in 1997.
