Default Browning Black Label 1911-380

Just bought one today and took it to the range
WOW!
This thing is really hard to describe. It shoots much more like a 22 pistol than a 380. Very light recoil, very light muzzle blast, and from a VERY light pistol (15 oz empty)

The 4.25" barrel helps. Longer sight radius, higher velocity, lower muzzle blast.

My big fat fingers even fit on the grip...


The sights are off a little so I only shot one box today until I can drift the rear sight over a little. No stoppages in the first 50 round box. When lowering the slide slowly by hand, however, the slide did not go into battery and had to be nudged once. But there were no hiccups while shooting.
This thing slides nicely into a pocket.

This seriously is just like shooting a 22 pistol. It's that comfortable and easy to shoot. One handed was a breeze.
