The Browning 1911-380 Series is a modern adaptation of John M. Browning's classic 1911 design, combining it with the .380 ACP cartridge to create a lightweight and manageable pistol. The 1911-380 Black Label Full Size model is built on a high-strength, lightweight composite frame that is 85% of the original 1911 size, making it easier to handle while still providing the iconic feel and functionality of the original design. The pistol features a machined steel slide, a target crown for improved accuracy, fixed combat sights, and an extended ambidextrous manual safety. The skeletonized hammer and overall design focus on reducing weight while maintaining performance. It's an ideal choice for those who appreciate the 1911's design but prefer a smaller, more manageable caliber. The 1911-380 Black Label Compact variant offers similar features but in a more compact form. It also features a composite frame with a fully machined 7075 aluminum sub-frame and slide rails for added durability. The compact model includes a rust-resistant barrel with a target crown, a locked-breech action for reliability, and a single-action trigger. The grip is compact yet ergonomic, providing a secure hold for improved shooting comfort. Both models come with an 8-round magazine and various user-friendly features like an extended slide release, beavertail grip safety, and a commander hammer.The compact model is available in several finishes, including matte black and stainless steel, offering users options for both style and functionality. These pistols are restricted in some states, including California, Massachusetts, and Maryland.
