Analysis

The 82BB followed the 82B in 1982. It kept the single-stack .32 Auto magazine, the firing-pin block, and the rounded guard, and added the extra serrations and the dot-and-post sights. The guide rod is wider than on the B. The safety is still a safety only. The F arrived in the late 1980s with the squared guard, Bruniton, plastic panels, and the frame-mounted decock lever. Wood panels from the BB fit the B. They do not fit the F and FS. The 85BB is the .380 Auto companion on the same thin grip. Magazines and the wood panels are the usual missing pieces.
