I don't think so I wipe it down with Rem-oil like everything else. How come only 1 mag?

myself I'd take the nickled. they cost more new. I have a blued - fine .380acp maybe the best.

One mag
These guns are in two different stores,neither store is giving more than one mag.I guess they come with two mags new,but the store personel may have scavanger privlages on used items(just a guess).

For the price difference alone, I would take the nickled one, but if they were priced the same, and I had a choice, I would want the blued one.
Every BDA I've ever seen came with two mags.

I own a blued Browning DBA .380 and it only came with 1 mag when new. I love this gun in blue but would consider the nickel version as well. The gun is a fine complement to any collection. I shoot mine every so often just for fun. I also carry on long road travel trips. Either version and you will not loose.

The BDA has gorgeous, deep polished blue.

My nickel model came with two 13 round mags new.
Why is the nickel 100.00 less? Did I read that right?

When I bought mine in the mid-1980s they only came with one magazine. My friend bought one around 1988 and they started coming with two magazines at some point between my purchase and his.

Opted for nickle
It was mfg in 1982,so it is 28yrs old.It needed a little polishing to look the way it does in the pics.Has some very minor scratches on the right grip,no other damage elsewear on the gun,as it stands I think I got a good deal.$448.00 out the door.I'll get to shoot it next week.
