went to the gun store today and i really like the feel of the beretta 84 fs. and brownings 380's. can anybody tell me anything about them. thank's.

As I recall, both are da/sa semi-autos and pretty similar in heft and appearance.  I think I prefer the Beretta though for the reason, IIRC, that the Beretta can be carried cocked and locked in sa mode similar to the 1911.  I don't think the Browning functions that way.  However, either pistol is a quality handgun.  I have a older Beretta M70 in 380 and wouldn't give it up, unless I could find a pristine Beretta M34 or 35..... or a Browning M1930 (?) (single action hammerless semi-auto with grip safety).....just a thought.  HTH.

A friend of mine has a Beretta Model 84, and it's a good shooter. Feels good in the hand , and most important, goes bang every time you pull the trigger.
