I have the browning 1911 .380 in the 4" barrel model. I'm a senior BTW. It's my most accurate gun. And it conceals easy, I'm very thin. Often overlooked by the negative .380 comments is that the .380 was not developed for use in "pocket pistols". It was developed for use in full size service guns. I'm confident in using .380 for self defense using my browning with a 4" barrel. It's not 9mm power, but it gets me most of the way there and I can shoot it more accurately. I highly recommend it. Good review. Thank you!
I really do appreciate it Chris. Love the comments and the insight. I really look forward to your next comment. Thank you sir.
I just picked one up this week. 1 of 3 that I picked up this week. I have to say this 1911 .380 shoots well, and is fun to shoot. It's also a fantastic size for concealed carry IMO. Cool video man. Good to see you taking a young person to the range with you. You earned a new subscriber.
Stay safe out there, and take it easy man.
I really appreciate the kind words and the subscription. I completely agree with you! And as far as concealed carry in my opinion it is the best pistol I have seen for that.
What a beautiful pistol! There are cheaper and smaller .380s but this is the kind of gun you keep all your life and pass down through the family.
I completely agree. I love the way you put it!
I've had mine for years, it's great for concealed carry under dress clothes. I have the same finish as you have. Very accurate and all around nice pistol.
I agree 100% Curt. I can't imagine a pistol that conceals better than this. It tucks right up against your body. I appreciate the comment sir. If not subscribed I how you will consider it. I look forward to future conversations.
Do you have the full size or the 3.6 inch barrel? Easy to conceal?
I have the full size, 4 1/4 barrel. I prefer this pistol for carry when i have to dress up. Conceals nicely in dress clothes. Capacity is a bit low compared to recent models of EDC pistols, but very accurate and reliable, so placement wouldnt be an issue. I have the same one as in the video, two tone, with the gold colored buck head inlay on the grip. Really happy with it and glad i bought it.@georgelilikakis6066
@@curt1803 I live in New York lol we can only have 10 rounds anyway so capacity isn’t really an issue. Thanks for the info!
@@georgelilikakis6066 I thank God I live in a free state like Texas. Eventhough they are trying hard to flip it blue.
Turn the springs around because every mag I've gotten it's been in backwards and starts jamming
Very strange! Never knew that one. Thanks Chris. This is great information.
Nice tip.
@@tonyromano6220 Thanks so much Tony!
I've owned a Black Label in .380 for several years and it is my carry gun. It takes a little while to break everything in and to become accustomed to shooting it but mine works perfectly. I wear mine in an OWB Bullard holster.
I love it. Very concealable and very comfortable. Thanks for the comment. Look forward to the next conversation.
Thinking about getting one , but can the main spring and grip safety be swap with the browning 22lr?
11:14 nice!
Did you get one or do you have one?
Been wanting one of these they are really cool. If you are a browning fan like me you should check out the BLR 81 rifle they are a mag fed lever action.
That's really cool. I'm gonna check it out. Thanks!
"No Problems with it." You had a failure to feed, on your first time using it! I have had on since they introduced them. It's pretty accurate, but it has issues. Good luck.
Yeah, I agree with you.
Looks excellent, I just ordered one. Thanks for the video!
Very welcome. I hope you love it. Look forward to hearing from you again.
It is very beautiful. A piece of art, really.
I agree.
@@DadsGarageDIY However, I have read that the quality is not good. Is that true? It is made of cheap plastic?
@@user-hn8to6ck8x I didn't find the quality to be bad at all. The fit and finish seemed quite nice. I don't have it anymore so I can say long term.But, I know people that have had them for years with no issues.
I have had mine for about 5 years and it's just getting better with age. The rear sights seem to shift quite easily and unfortunately i still haven't found a good fix (aside from changing them). But that is the only real issue i have came across.
That’s great to hear Adam. It’s a fun little gun for sure.
Put a little thread locker on them
Yes it is as good as it looks
I definitely agree.
Shot one last weekend and instantly fell in love, searching for one now I want that as my edc instead of a full size
They are the perfect EDC. They are small and thin yet a longer barrel for great accuracy.
Mine had a big spread with Winchester White Box but the Magtech shot very well.
Magtech always seems good. Thanks for the comment.
I have the same one in 22. Love that little 1911. Fun shootin.
I agree. It really is.
It is a really nice looking firearm. I would love to have it. However for the price it is not high enough up on the want list to buy. Unless I ever came across one for a price I couldn’t pass up.
I agree with you 100%. Thanks Jason.
No problem with the sights.send it back to Browning for upgrades like magwell and night sights
Very nice!
Cool video
Thank you Nathan. I appreciate the comment. I hope you will help my out by subscribing if you are not already subscribed. Thanks again.
Great video sir!
Thank you so much Isiah. Really appreciate that. Hope if not subscribed you will and I look forward to the next conversation.
Nice video and nice weapon
Thanks Bob. Next gun video is another Glock. Just for you. Lol
Is this a thing in the gun community? Why are there so many folks with gun channels that can't pronounce ambidextrous correctly. 🤔 Nice review though.🙂
Glad you didn't ask me to spell it. LOL
@@DadsGarageDIY 🤣🤣🤣
This thing catches a lot of flak for being 380 but I think it looks so cool! I’m debating wether I should get this one or a Glock 48.
I could not agree more. I think it's one of the most beautiful guns I have seen. So easy to conceal too. The biggest negative in my opinion is lack of holster choices. Can't go wrong with it Jorge. Hope if you are not subscribed you will help me out by subscribing. I really appreciate that and look forward to future conversations.
I own both of them. I just picked up my browning recently but i can definitely tell you the black label is easier to carry but I also love my glock 48
@@tylergendron4707 I ended up just getting the browning 1911 yesterday actually! I got rounds coming in soon then I’ll take it shooting.
@@tylergendron4707 I love it too and I also love my Glock 43X MOS.
Just bought the RiA baby rock since I couldn't afford this yet. Hopefully it does well.
Love Rock Island. Just picked up another this weekend. Now I have 2.
@@DadsGarageDIY I've heard they jam sometimes. Hopefully mine's good. Going this weekend to test it.
@@Dontgetenslaved Just like any gun depends on the one you get. I haven't had time with the one I just got yet. But my 10mm has been flawless. Not a single hiccup. Although I did have a double stack 10mm a few years ago that had jamming issues. Good luck and let me know how it goes.
@@DadsGarageDIY oh, I will let you know. I've been on a .380 kick here lately. Got a Glock 25 and it's been flawless. The Baby Rock has been on my radar for a while now, and I've put it off due to mixed reviews. They put it on clearance so I figured now was my time to try it. I've got various loads in FMJ and HP so I plan on testing it thoroughly. If it works, it's going to be my cross draw van gun for work. Most of the recent review videos are %95 positive about it, so I hope I have some luck. It dry cycles fine so that's a good start at least.
Thinking about getting one , but can the main spring and grip safety be swap with the browning 22lr?
I don't know the answer to that Luis. I hope someone reading the comments can help with this.
I like the pistol, fits perfect in my hand and looks great, but it's a little bigger than I prefer to carry (s&w bg 380). The magazine disconnect is also a negative.
Conceals beautifully and speaking of beautiful, well, probably the most beautiful pistol I’ve ever seen.
There is a compact version with a shorter barrel.
@@TheOzarkWizard still too big between the grip and the weight. The bg380 is my goldilocks gun, I can carry it in different ways and it's so light it's not even noticeable.
My browning 1911 22 was a piece of crap 💩
I.hope the 380 is better
This one seemed pretty good. Not issues but I only kept it a very short time. Thank you sir.
Hi power 9mm
Never shot one. I’ve heard a lot about them though.
great video!
Ty
So you can keep your life time warranty
Luger 380 is good
I like it. Not a lot of pop. Which can be a plus.
Not true. Browning makes the Browning Hi-Power in 9mm
I'm not sure what you are saying is not true. Please explain.
1:00-1:05 if im not mistaken, you said “browning does not make any pistol in 9mm or 45 caliber”
Browning make the browning Hi-Power chambered in a 9mm. Its a pretty sweet pistol
@@00oFAVIANo00 Got ya. I saw several sources that stated the Hi Power was discontinued in 2018. Is that not correct? I would love to try some other Browning pistols in different calibers. I was really impressed with this one.
@@DadsGarageDIY Hipower was re-released by Browning (FN). The new version is not exactly the same as the original.
@@JojoWalsh I knew FN made one called the Hi Power. Isn't it a clone of the Browning?
Thats what she said
You can say that again. LOL
I'm an odd duck in that I can't stand the taste of neither egg white nor egg yolk, and yet I like scrambled eggs.
So it is with this gun-- I have zero interest in 1911's, nor in .380 ACP... and yet, for some reason, when they're combined together into the Browning 1911 .380, I feel I need one!
Probably the most creative comment ever. Love it and thanks for the great comment. Hope to hear from you again!
why hasn't Browning ever made a 1911 in 45acp?
I am no expert by any means. If I understand correctly the original Browning 1911s were in 45. Hopefully someone much more knowledgeable than I can help clear this up. Thanks Frank. Great question.
Because Browning is owned by FN. Why would they compete with themselves?
@@user-xk1sy9pl6z Yeah the same company owns FN and Browning but I don’t think FN makes a 1911, do they? I can’t recall seeing on and I’m not seeing one on their website.
Bought 12 mag on line pro mag industries $26.99 haven’t shot yet
That's cool. Let me know how they work, Greg. Good hearing from you.
Is the frame plastic (polymer)?
It's metal.
@@DadsGarageDIY not saying you are wrong, but are you sure? Brownings website says the slide is metal, but that the lower frame is polymer. Other youtubers show their polymer frames. One video even showed how flimsy the polymer is near the railing as he pinched it inward.
Is it possible that they have a base model and you have some sort of upgraded model?
If I buy this gun, I wanted a meyal frame, but couldnt find one anywhere.
Here is Brownings website:
"This Black Label Medallion Pro Compact model features rosewood grip w/gold buckmark inlay, blackened stainless steel finish, polymer frame and night sights".
Also:
"The Black Label Medallion Pro has what Browning calls a "composite" frame, which everyone else will call polymer. As great as polymer is, however, it's not strong enough (yet) to support a reciprocating slide, so inside the composite is a machined aluminum "subframe," which sports the rails on which the slide rides".
@@-kepha8828 I probably have it wrong then. I thought I remembered it being metal. My mistake.
Polymer, but there are aluminum parts such as the grip safety.
@@RedHuntsman Thank you sir. Appreciate the info!
It jams alot. Good luck in a gun fight😮
Have you had or shot one? Or does it have that reputation?
@@DadsGarageDIY I've never shot but but I also read that the gun is a jamomatic. That's why I'm watching your video.
@@nolagospeltracts8264 Interesting. I have never heard that before. I have sold this one now. My biggest issue was the lack of available holsters. Always good hearing from you!
@@DadsGarageDIY thanks. I was going through my ammo cans and found a bunch of 380 I've forgotten so I started thinking about buying a new 380 pistol to go with it.
@@nolagospeltracts8264 Sounds like a great excuse to buy a pistol to me. 🤣
