The Browning 1911 Black Label Medallion Pro delivers full-size 1911 handling in the manageable .380 ACP caliber, combining reduced recoil with proven reliability for shooters seeking precision without excessive muzzle flip. This target-grade pistol features a 4.25-inch target crown barrel and enhanced ergonomics that bridge the gap between compact carry guns and full-size competition pistols.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard .380 pistols that sacrifice accuracy for size, the Black Label Medallion Pro maintains a full 4.25-inch barrel length for superior ballistic performance and sight radius. The serrated stainless steel slide with blackened finish and polished flats provides enhanced grip during manipulation while resisting corrosion. The polymer frame construction reduces overall weight by 6-8 ounces compared to all-steel 1911s while maintaining structural integrity.
