The 1911-380 Black Label follows the classic 1911 pattern at 85% scale, offering a locked-breech, tilting-barrel operation in .380 ACP. It uses a 4.25 inch steel barrel and a single-stack magazine for a 7+1 capacity, with the barrel hood clearly marked ".380 AUTO."
Construction centers on a composite polymer frame paired with a machined aluminum sub-frame/rail unit for strength and rigidity. The non-railed dust cover and matte black finish keep the profile clean, while the slide uses rear cocking serrations only and is marked "BLACK LABEL" and "1911 380" with the Buckmark shield.
Controls are set up for a classic single-action-only 1911 feel, including an ambidextrous manual thumb safety and a beavertail grip safety with a memory bump. A skeletonized three-hole trigger and commander-style skeletonized hammer complete the fire-control group.
Sighting is straightforward and durable with fixed black combat-style sights: a ramped front blade and a low-profile rear. The case label confirms the fixed-sight configuration and 4.250 inch barrel length, and the frame serial number matches the factory case label.
This example is customized with ivory-tone synthetic grip panels featuring the Browning Buckmark logo, replacing the original black composite grips. The result is a distinctive look that complements the Black Label markings and matte black finish.
