Compact .380 pistols bridge the gap between shootability and everyday carry. For shooters who value classic ergonomics in a pocketable chassis, a scaled-down 1911 can offer controllable recoil, accurate short-range performance, and the tactile feel that many owners prefer for defensive use.

BROWNING 1911 380 BLACK LABEL

Overview

The BROWNING 1911 380 BLACK LABEL delivers the classic 1911 design in a compact, modern package built for everyday carry. Scaled to 85% of the original .45 ACP blueprint, this pistol retains the familiar single-action control layout while weighing just over a pound and measuring under seven inches overall. The 3.625-inch precision-machined stainless steel barrel and low bore axis promote fast follow-up shots and consistent point of impact.

Design & Features

This model combines a composite frame with a machined aluminum subframe for balance and reduced felt recoil. The black matte finish and checkered grips deliver a secure hold in adverse conditions and a tactical, low-reflective profile. Ambidextrous safeties and a crisp single-action trigger support deliberate, accurate shots from a comfortable grip angle.

Ergonomics and handling

At just over a pound, the compact footprint makes concealment straightforward without sacrificing the 1911 grip geometry that many shooters find intuitive. The low bore axis and ergonomics help keep muzzle rise minimal, which is especially advantageous with .380 ACP in a compact platform.
