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 designed 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, making it ideal for shooters seeking reliable performance without excessive weight or bulk.

With a 4.25-inch barrel and a magazine capacity of 9 rounds (8 in the magazine plus 1 in the chamber), this pistol balances controllability with minimal recoil impulse. Built on a stainless steel frame and slide, the Browning 1911-380 resists corrosion and provides the 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.

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 ensures longevity, while the 9-round capacity provides practical firepower for self-defense scenarios, maintaining a slim profile for IWB or ankle carry configurations.
