Browning 051060490 1911-380 Black .22 LR 3.63" 11-Round 1911 Pistol

The Browning 1911-380 Black Label Compact Frame .22 LR pistol represents a purpose-built training and recreational shooting platform based on the legendary 1911 platform. Designed for shooters seeking low-recoil, high-volume practice without the noise and cost of centerfire ammunition, this compact 1911 chambered in .22 Long Rifle delivers the ergonomic familiarity of full-size 1911 handling in a lightweight, manageable package. Law enforcement instructors and competitive shooters rely on .22 LR variants for cost-effective dry-fire alternatives and introductory marksmanship progression.

This compact model features a 3.63-inch barrel and weighs just 1.88 pounds, making it an ideal secondary or training firearm for extended practice sessions. The 11-round magazine capacity provides practical capacity while maintaining the classic 1911 single-action trigger geometry and manual safety controls that shooters demand. The Black Label finish delivers a durable, professional appearance, and the compact frame geometry reduces fatigue during high-round-count training days while maintaining the proven 1911 ergonomics and controls that transfer directly to full-power duty or defensive firearms.

This pistol serves competitive shooters perfecting trigger control, academy instructors managing ammunition budgets, and experienced tacticians maintaining proficiency between duty cycles. The .22 LR platform excels for diagnostic dry-fire work and low-impact shooting venues where sound signature and range overhead matter. Its compatibility with standard 1911 ergonomics ensures shooters can transition seamlessly between training and duty or defensive platforms without relearning fundamental controls or sight picture mechanics.
