I just bought a nib FN BDA pistol chambered in 7.65mm; my first FN. I am really looking forward to firing it in the near future. I have heard that most of the BDA's produced, were made in the 9x17mm chambering.

32 cal - Kewl. Post a pic. :)
The problem with that caliber is the price of the ammo.
I use the Fiochi FMJ for carry, and it costs me $15 a box.
sorry...I can't post pics (don't have a digital camera yet). If you go to www.southernohiogun.com there is a picture of one on their site; that is where I purchased it from. The only draw-back on the 7.65mm is the rising cost of the cartridges. I have two dozen boxes in my ammo stash of 7.65mm, so I should be good for quite a while.
But Shipwreck, what would be involved in taking one of these and doing a 380 conversion on it and ending up with essentially a BDA 380 or FN Cheetah. You know you want one (or three) :mrgreen:Quote:

And, U typically only see conversions for very popular calibers (like 40 cal). I seriously doubt U will find the parts to convert that. 32 is just not popular enough.
I would expect that the whole frame is the same, with the possible exception of the cartridge head recess and extractor. Hmmm Could still convert it to 25 NAA though.Quote:
