Hickok45 Puts the Browning 1911 .380 Cal Through its Paces

Hickok45 puts the Browning 1911 .380 cal through its paces and gives us a great rundown on this American classic captured in a smaller Caliber.

America's favorite classic handgun is given a redux, and Browning is offering a smaller 1911 chambered in .380 for your shooting needs.

I love the 1911, and it truly is my favorite pistol, built on a time-tested design, so this is a neat wrinkle to a classic American gun. The NRArecently reviewed this 1911 and gave it the highest praise in their range testing.

The smaller frame will make for easier carry with less imprint and the .380 ammo will allow you to shoot respectable rounds with stopping power. All this at a much lower cost for ammo, something that anyone who shoots consistently can appreciate.

The Black Label 1911 .380 continues the line that has done so well for Browning in previous 22. caliber releases, showing that this famed gun maker is going back to their roots and doing it right.
