Approximately 85% the size of a full-size 1911, this compact 1911-380 uses a locked-breech, tilting-barrel system chambered in .380 ACP with an 8+1 capacity. The 3.625 in barrel and scaled-down dimensions deliver a lighter, handier interpretation of the classic 1911 format.
The two-tone stainless/black slide sits over a composite frame with a 7075-aluminum sub-frame and rails, finished in matte black. Factory markings include BLACK LABEL and 1911 380 on the slide, with .380 AUTO on the chamber hood. Country of origin is the USA.
Controls and carry features are optimized for a 1911: single-action-only operation with an ambidextrous thumb safety and grip safety, a lightened three-hole trigger, and a skeletonized commander-style hammer. Fixed sights include a front sight and a combat-style rear.
The Medallion trim level adds rosewood laminate grips with checkering and inlaid gold Buckmark medallions, complementing the slide’s two-tone finish. The 51H serial prefix aligns with Browning’s 1911-380 model code, confirming correct configuration.
