The Browning 1911-380 Black Label Medallion Pro Rail Compact delivers full-size 1911 ergonomics in a compact .380 ACP platform, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern tactical features. This pistol bridges the gap between concealed carry convenience and range-ready performance with its integrated rail system and refined trigger mechanics.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard .380 pistols that sacrifice ergonomics for size, this compact 1911 maintains the classic grip angle and trigger reach that made the platform legendary. The integrated Picatinny rail accommodates lights and lasers without compromising the pistol's slim profile. Browning's enhanced trigger system delivers a crisp break typically found only in custom builds, while the extended grip safety provides positive engagement during rapid fire sequences.
