Description:
Guns Listing ID: 563183
The code \"425 PX\" refers to a serial number prefix used on certain Browning BDA 380 pistols, such as 425PX08892, which was produced around 1983
The Browning BDA 380 is a semi automatic pistol chambered in .380 ACP, produced by Beretta in Italy and marketed in North America under the Browning brand
It’s based on the FN 140DA and bears close resemblance to Beretta’s Model 81/84 “Cheetah" series—but with an enclosed slide, a unique safety/decocking lever, and distinct hammer and trigger guard designs
Production Period: 1977–1997 in North America (as Browning BDA 380); FN variant (FN 140DA) produced 1976–1987
Caliber: Primarily .380 ACP (and earlier FN model also offered in .32 ACP for European markets)
Capacity: 13 rounds in the magazine for .380 ACP; 12 rounds for .32 ACP
Barrel Length: Approximately 3.8 inches (˜96–97 mm)
Construction: Aluminum frame, steel slide; typically equipped with wood grips (though some FN models had black plastic grips)
The Type I (1977–1983) and Type II (from 1983 onward) differ in features such as a wider, heavier slide, a wider recoil guide rod with a “nub," and contoured thumb reliefs on the grips.
Markings typically include \"Fabrique Nationale Herstal\" on one side and \"Browning Arms Co. Morgan, Utah & Montreal, P.Q.\" on the other .
Despite the FN branding, all BDA 380 pistols were actually manufactured by Beretta, sold through Browning/FN—hence the dual markings
