My first decent, meaning semiauto I could trust, was a Browning BDA 380, in blue with the nice walnut grips. I sold it to a friend who used it days later to repel an attempted robbery and possible kidnapping or even murder. I eventually bought another one, which I still have. It's not as pretty as the first one, but it's a great shooter. I also have a Beretta 81, 84BB, and 85, so obviously I like the platform a lot. I would keep both of them. As far as reliability goes, with the exception of some bad (deformed) ammo, I've never had an issue with any of them. I suppose the open slide of the Beretta version has a tiny edge in reliability, but I haven't seen any real evidence of it. IMHO, these are the best 380's ever made, and probably the best .32 ACP guns too.
Oh, I would like to know where these 100% 84's for $275 are too.
