The Browning BDA (marketed in Europe as FN HP-DA) is a single/double-action pistol based on the Browning Hi-Power. It was introduced in the early-1980s to compete in the U.S. XM9 pistol trials, though lost out to the Beretta 92F. 
Note: Not to be confused with the similarly-named Browning BDA 380, or the more recent Browning BDM.

=Blank Firing Replicas=
==Umarex GPDA==
Umarex (of Germany) makes a common blank-firing-only replica of the Browning BDA in several versions, known as the GPDA9 and the GPDA8. The GPDA9 is a blank-firing pistol that chambers the 9x22mm P.A.K. blank cartridge. The GPDA8 chambers the 8x22mm blank round and is readily available in the U.S.; the vast majority of blank-firing pistols in 9mm P.A.K. are available in Europe. Umarex-made replicas can be identified by the flat floorplates on the magazines and a lack of lanyard ring.

==EKOL Aras==
The EKOL Aras is a Turkish blank-firing replica whose appearance is based on the Browning BDA's early production model. The full length version is named the "Aras Magnum", while the variant with a shorter slide variant is available as the "Aras Compact". They are available with finger groove grips, or the BDA's default Hi-Power Mark III-style grips. Unlike the actual Browning BDA, these blank-firing replicas have a circular-shaped hammer spur like on some models of the Hi-Power. Both front- and side-venting variants of the EKOL Aras exist, with the former having a threaded barrel intended for use with flare adapters.
