Compact control, classic ergonomics and modern finishes make a small-frame 1911-style pistol a compelling option for both home defense and range work. The .380 ACP chambering paired with a full-size platform delivers a balance of shootability and familiar controls for shooters transitioning from larger pistols.

BROWNING BLACK LABEL FULL SIZE

Design & notable features

The BROWNING BLACK LABEL FULL SIZE is a lightweight Model 1911-style .380 ACP autoloading pistol built with attention to classic controls and modern manufacturing. Its machined stainless steel slide is finished in a vibrant Crushed Orchid Cerakote — a durable coating that resists wear while offering distinctive corrosion resistance. Steel 3-dot sights provide fast, positive sight acquisition for defensive drills and range work.

Controls are true to the 1911 heritage: an extended ambidextrous manual safety and beavertail grip safety combine for a secure carry-ready setup, while the skeletonized hammer and streamlined slide profile aid in crisp trigger reset and consistent follow-up shots. The pistol ships with an eight round magazine, giving a practical balance between capacity and slim grip dimensions.

Caliber, handling, and applications

The .380 ACP chambering makes the BROWNING BLACK LABEL FULL SIZE approachable for shooters sensitive to heavy recoil while still offering effective close-range defensive performance when paired with quality defensive ammunition. On the range, the reduced recoil of .380 ACP supports faster follow-up shots and extended practice sessions with less fatigue. For everyday storage or a dedicated home-defense pistol, the 1911 grip angle and controls provide an intuitive interface familiar to many shooters.

Training tips

Practice with a variety of loads to understand point-of-impact shifts and to tune sight picture with the steel 3-dot sights. The extended ambidextrous safety benefits users who prefer manual safeties; dry-fire repetition helps ingrain safe manipulation and quick deployment.

Sizing, carry considerations, and price

As a full-size 1911-style platform built around .380 ACP, this pistol offers a longer sight radius and a fuller grip compared with micro-compact pocket pistols. That makes it comfortable for extended range use and practical for controlled-home-defense roles, while remaining lightweight for easier handling. Priced at $825.99, the BROWNING BLACK LABEL FULL SIZE positions itself as a premium option for shooters who value fit, finish and classic ergonomics.
