I just saw one of those at H&H a few days ago. That is a pretty little pistol. My wife is thinking about a .380 PPK and that caught my eye while we were looking.

I've had two of them. Excellent gun with little recoil - .380 + all that weight. It doesn't hurt that its pretty....

I'd love to have it myself Kevin, but all my "loose change" is tied up

Definitley on my list.

The Browning BDA380 is also my favorite gun. Its one of the most accurate mild shooting .380's out there. If your going to own a quality .380 its this or the Beretta 84/85 series. The BDA380 is really nothing more than an Beretta 84 with some cosmetic changes, my only wish was that Browning/FN had made Beretta(Yep FN/Browning own's Beretta) make a single stack BDA380.

Here's a pic of mine, yes its got Beretta grips on it because they are somewhat thinner than the wood grips, and its almost impossible to get the FN140(European designation for the BDA380) plastic grips. Mine was my first gun bought by myself in 1983.

I bought a model 84 new in 1989, damn good gun. i have regretted selling it ever since.

Where would you say the Walther PPK falls in the pecking order? I have only heard good things about those pistols as well, but still haven't got to shoot one.

SB, you are exactly right, but you forgot Uberti!

I have a PPK/S also. The Browning is not snappy at all (the PPK/S is) it is very fun to shoot. Spend a day shooting the Walther and you have a hurt hand...
