Browning BDA 380

[Ron Webb]

I just got a "new" Browning BDA 380 pistol (technically, my wife) from my father-in-law. He purchased it new in 1977 and for the most part, it has been sitting in a box in a safe. My intention is to get it registered (unfortunate requirement) and add it to my CCW, as well as my wife obtaining a CCW and to be her primary (we are allowed to have a pistol registered to a spouse be on our permit). I have a few issues that have to be resolved though. I have just ordered a 10-round restricted magazine (I live in California) for it and hope to change out the grips from the original wood to Pachmayr grips... it is too slippery as is. Next, I'm looking for an ideal IWB holster. I really like the Alien Gear Cloak Tuck 3.0 for my Glock but unfortunately they don't make one for this Browning. I found it interesting that despite the Browning name, it was actually made by Berretta in Italy. Any other advice for this "new" piece?
