Browning 051985492 1911-380 Black 4.25" 9-Round Stainless 1911 Pistol

The Browning 1911-380 Black 4.25" 9-Round Stainless 1911 Pistol is a compact, single-action semi-automatic handgun purpose-built for concealed carry and backup duty roles in law enforcement and personal defense. This .380 ACP platform delivers the proven ergonomics and operating system of the legendary 1911 design in a more manageable package than full-size variants. The 4.25-inch barrel and 9-round capacity make it ideal for shooters seeking reliable, proven 1911 performance without excessive weight or bulk, and it remains a trusted option among officers who prioritize familiarity with the platform.

Built on a stainless steel frame and slide, the Browning 1911-380 resists corrosion and provides durability critical for duty and training environments. The single-action trigger delivers the crisp, predictable break inherent to 1911 design, essential for accurate shot placement under stress. At 2.26 pounds, this pistol balances controllability with minimal recoil impulse, allowing faster follow-up shots than heavier calibers while maintaining the mechanical reliability that defines the 1911 platform. The 9-round magazine capacity provides practical firepower for self-defense scenarios while maintaining a slim profile for IWB or ankle carry configurations.

This compact 1911 variant serves well for backup and off-duty carry, particularly among law enforcement professionals already trained on the 1911 system who seek a lighter option for extended duty shifts. Its stainless construction makes it suited for environments where corrosion resistance is critical, including humid climates or maritime operations. The Browning 1911-380 accepts standard single-stack .380 ACP magazines and maintains full 1911 ergonomics—including ambidextrous safety manipulation and traditional grip angle—ensuring seamless transition for trained operators. Compliance with all applicable federal and local firearms regulations is the responsibility of the buyer.
