Browning 051118492 1911-380 Full 4.25" 9-Round Stainless 1911 Pistol

The Browning 1911-380 full size pistol in stainless steel is a purpose-built .380 ACP handgun engineered for shooters who demand the ergonomic and mechanical legacy of the 1911 platform in a more manageable caliber. With a 4.25-inch barrel and full-size frame, this pistol bridges the gap between classic 1911 reliability and reduced recoil, making it ideal for concealed carry, home defense, and training applications where controllability and quick follow-up shots matter.

Built on a single-action locked-breech design, the Browning 1911-380 delivers the inherent accuracy and trigger control that serious shooters expect from a 1911 platform. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion and requires minimal maintenance compared to blued alternatives, making it reliable in diverse environmental conditions—a critical consideration in tactical and duty contexts. Weighing 2.24 pounds, the full-size frame profile ensures a proper grip purchase and sight radius while maintaining enough compactness for strong-side hip carry or appendix carry rigs.

The 4.25-inch barrel provides velocity optimization for .380 ACP ballistics while keeping the sight-to-muzzle distance within proven ranges for rapid target acquisition. The 9-round magazine capacity provides adequate firepower for civilian defensive scenarios while maintaining the compact dimensions that have made the 1911 an industry standard for over a century. This configuration is perfect for shooters looking for a reliable and effective firearm.
