The Browning 1911-380 Black Label Medallion Pro is a single-action .380 ACP pistol with a 4.25-inch barrel, an 8+1 capacity and two steel magazines in the box. It weighs 17.5 ounces and measures 7.5 inches overall. The blackened stainless slide sits on a composite frame with a machined 7075 aluminum sub-frame and slide rails. Checkered wood grips, a beavertail grip safety and an ambidextrous extended thumb safety are fitted. Steel bar-dot combat night sights and a Picatinny rail complete the set.

In Nevada this pistol is bought from a licensed dealer after a background check, with no permit to purchase and no state waiting period. Dealers sell handguns from age 21. The 1911 operating system and its single-action trigger suit a shooter who already knows that platform, and the night sights help with low-light aiming.
