.380 ACP advice and opinion

I have begun my search for a small automatic and decided on the .380 ACP as my calibre of choice. I seem to have narrowed my search down to 3 guns, and at the last minute added a fourth. This is an outline of the opinions I have heard so far.
Bersa thunder .380 - light and enexpensive got good reviews out of the box. big trigger creep, but a good value.
Sig 230 - cadillac of the small autos but very small. well made and an excellent gun but big guys have a hard time fitting thier hand to it.
Walther PPK/S - another wonderfully made gun that did not fit my hand well. the slide ate me up as it slides closer to the tang than the others.
NOW....someone has suggested a Browning BDA stainless.
I would appreciate any and all opinions about this gun in comparison to the other three.
Thanks

I agree with the PPK statement that the slide eats you up, I got rid of mine because of that alone.
I don't have a SIG in 380 but have their 9mm and it is an excellent gun, can't go wrong on the SIG.
