The new Browning 1911-380 is the Right Design, the Right Size, with the Right Features. Based on the John M. Browning's 1911 pistol design and using the cartridge he created, the new 1911-380 pistol gets it right in every way. The 1911-380 combines the proven 1911 design with another of John Browning's inventions the 380 ACP cartridge in a package that is 15% smaller than the 45 ACP models and tips the scales at a mere 17-1/2 ounces unloaded. With a manual of arms similar to the 1911, the 1911-380 the perfect choice for concealed carry, home protection, shooters with smaller hands or recoil-sensitive handgunners.
