Browning BDA 380

[Jkell]

I had a question for someone more familiar with this gun than I am. I inherited a Browning BDA 380 and through research (google) I learned a little about the gun but I was wondering how "rare" they are to find in mass and about what its worth. I know its hard to judge how rare it is but if you could just give me an idea that would be great. The gun is in excellent condition with out any wear to speak of it doesnt even look like it was shot.
Thanks Jim

Like anything here in Mass if it isn't on the list it demands a premium if it is already in state. I dont' think they are extremely rare because I don't think that it was a very successful pistol. I've heard more bad than good about it's reliability but this is just what I've heard over the years. I think Collectors in Stoneham had one not too long ago and it sat and sat. Now that could be due to whatever the price was...I don't know.

It is a beautiful pistol and anything Browning has got to be good!\\

Enjoy!

They are excelent pistols. They were issued to the detectives and police chiefs in many towns during the 90's.
