Browning 1911-380 Black Label Compact .380 ACP Semi-Automatic Pistol
This 85%-scale Browning 1911-380 Black Label Compact delivers classic 1911 ergonomics in a lighter, easier-handling package. Its locked-breech design tames .380 ACP recoil, while the composite frame with 7075-T6 aluminum sub-frame keeps carry weight low without sacrificing durability. Factory extended controls, target-crowned 3.6" stainless barrel, and fixed 3-dot combat sights round out a feature set tailored for everyday carry or range use.

What’s Included
- Browning factory hard case, molded ABS with raised "1911-380" Buckmark logo
- Three 7-round single-stack steel magazines
The Black Label Compact is built on Browning’s dedicated 1911-380 platform, scaling the Government-size 1911 down to 85% for a slimmer, shorter grip profile that still accepts a full seven-round magazine. The polymer-composite frame features an under-cut trigger guard and molded 30 lpi-style front-strap checkering for a high, secure firing grip.
A stainless steel, target-crowned 3.6" barrel works with the single-action locked-breech system to deliver reliable accuracy and fast follow-up shots. The skeletonized alloy trigger, commander-style rowel hammer, and rear slide serrations contribute to a crisp, familiar 1911 manual of arms.
Safety is thorough yet unobtrusive: manual thumb and beavertail grip safeties, a half-cock notch, firing-pin block, and factory magazine disconnect all ship standard. Despite its compact size, the pistol retains full-size controls for easy manipulation, and its matte black slide and frame finish resist glare and corrosion.
