Browning 1911-380 Black Label Medallion Pro

A Modern Take on John Browning's Legacy

The Browning 1911-380 represents an elegant solution to a straightforward problem: how to deliver authentic 1911 ergonomics and controls to shooters who prefer the mild recoil and reduced size of the 380 ACP cartridge. Built to approximately 85% of the original 1911's scale, this pistol honors Browning's dual legacy—he designed both the Model 1911 and the 380 ACP cartridge.

Design and Construction

Frame and Slide

• Composite frame with machined 7075 aluminum sub-frame and slide rails for durability and reliability
• Blackened stainless steel slide with silver brushed polished finish
• 3.63-inch barrel with traditional locking tilting barrel design
• Picatinny accessory rail on dust cover for mounting lights or lasers

Controls and Safety

• Single-action trigger with a light, crisp break that inspires confidence
• Ambidextrous extended manual thumb safety for intuitive operation
• Grip safety with beavertail design to prevent hammer bite
• Skeletonized hammer and trigger for positive feedback
• 3-dot combat-style sights for quick target acquisition

Ergonomics and Shootability

The Black Label Medallion Pro features a flat mainspring housing that accommodates a broader range of hand sizes. The natural grip angle and familiar 1911 controls make this pistol instantly comfortable for experienced shooters while remaining accessible to newcomers. The low bore axis and light recoil of the 380 ACP cartridge combine to create a remarkably controllable handgun—even the normally snappy 380 ACP feels tame in this platform.

Capacity and Reliability

• 8-round magazine constructed from heat-treated steel for long service life
• Thoroughly tested to ensure accuracy, function, and the quality expected from the Browning name
• Includes pistol rug for storage and transport
