FN Browning Hi-Power vs BDA-9 On The Range
Belgium

It's always interesting to be able to try two particular pistols out next to each other on the range, particularly when one is a modification of the other. In this case, the Daddy-Gat is a 1974-dated FN Browning GP-35 Hi-Power, and the Son-Gat is an FN BDA-9 (not to be confused with the other BDA9 which is a rebadged SIG P220). Both are in 9x19mm (Parabellum), and the question is, did Fabrique Nationale actually make an improvement, or wreck it?
