The Browning Hi-Power BDA ("Browning Double Action") is a 9mm semi-automatic pistol developed in the early 1980s at the Belgian Fabrique Nationale arms factory in Herstal.
 The pistol was conceived in 1983 to compete in the U.S. XM-9 Pistol Trials to select new sidearm chambered for the 9×19mm Parabellum cartridge that would equip all the branches of the United States armed forces.
 Ultimately, the winner of the bid was the Italian Beretta 92F.
 The Finnish Defence Forces accepted the weapon into service as their general service pistol under the designation 9.00 PIST 80 and 9.00 PIST 80-91.
 The pistol was marketed in Europe as the HP-DA.
