Everyone has an opinion, my BDA went to a police investigator when I retired, he loved it and so did I. I prefer the decocking safety, closed slide and thirteen rounds stuffed into the Browning. I now have a Beretta 84 BB that I occasionally shoot, it is ok but liked the Browning better. As has been mentioned several times before there are many locked breech pistols that are more concealable, have the same caliber, less recoil, better sights and will hold up just as well being shot a lot so why not go modern.
