Design and carry characteristics

This compact 1911 keeps the single-action trigger and the natural 1911 grip angle that many shooters trust for pointability and sight alignment. The low bore axis reduces muzzle flip, allowing faster follow-up shots—an advantage in close-quarters defensive scenarios. The Picatinny rail lets users mount a compact light or laser for improved target identification and low-light performance.

Controls and shooting ergonomics

Retention and positive control come from both an ambidextrous manual thumb safety and a grip safety—standard 1911 features that most trained shooters will find familiar. The single-action trigger provides a crisp break that helps with shot-to-shot consistency. Combined with combat-style sights, this pistol is set up to be accurate and intuitive under stress.

Materials, finish, and aesthetics

The Black Label Medallion Pro Compact pairs a stainless steel slide with matte black accents along the curves, giving a durable, low-reflective finish. Rosewood grips with a gold-colored Buckmark medallion add a premium touch while remaining functional. The steel body magazine enhances durability compared with polymer followers and contributes to reliable feeding cycle after cycle.

Chambered for .380 ACP, this platform balances manageable recoil with adequate terminal performance for close-range defensive use. .380 is popular for compact 1911s because it allows a smaller grip and slide while still delivering adequate stopping power for typical concealed-carry distances.

At a retail price of $917.99, this model targets shooters who want a premium compact 1911 with classic lines and modern utility. View product details and pricing to confirm current availability and options.
