Browning 1911-380 Black Label Pro 380 ACP 8+1 4.25" Barrel

The Browning 1911-380 Black Label Medallion Pro delivers full-size 1911 handling with reduced recoil in the manageable 380 ACP chambering. This pistol combines traditional 1911 ergonomics with modern polymer construction for enhanced shootability and reduced weight.

What Makes This Different

Unlike compact 380 pistols that sacrifice grip length, the Black Label Pro maintains a full 4.25-inch barrel and extended grip for complete hand engagement. The target crown barrel enhances accuracy potential beyond typical pocket pistols. The serrated stainless steel slide with blackened finish and polished flats provides both corrosion resistance and refined aesthetics that standard blued models cannot match.

Key Features

• 8+1 capacity with extended grip accommodates full hand placement
• 4.25-inch target crown barrel optimizes 380 ACP ballistic performance
• Serrated stainless steel slide with blackened/polished flat finish resists corrosion
• Matte black polymer frame reduces weight while maintaining durability
• Integrated beavertail grip safety prevents hammer bite during rapid fire
• Traditional 1911 controls including thumb safety and slide release
• Combat-style sights for rapid target acquisition

The 4.25-inch barrel length maximizes 380 ACP velocity while maintaining concealability for those preferring reduced recoil over compact dimensions. Range accuracy benefits from the longer sight radius and target crown, making this suitable for precision shooting and training applications. The stainless steel construction handles regular use and various weather conditions without finish degradation common in carbon steel alternatives.
