The Browning 1911-380 Black Label Full-Size Pistol adds a bright Polar Blue Cerakote finish to a stainless steel slide, chambered in .380 ACP (Browning part no. 051989492). Browning made the 1911-380 slightly larger than a typical pocket .380 so that recoil is easier to manage, and the 4-1/4-inch barrel and single-action trigger suit that goal. The frame is composite with a machined 7075 aluminum sub-frame, the grips are black stippled laminated wood with the Buckmark logo, and the three-dot combat sights are steel. This Browning pistol weighs 18 ounces and includes two magazines and a pistol rug.
