This compact version of the Browning 1911-380 Medallion Pro carries a 3.63-inch barrel, a stainless finish and an accessory rail for mounting a light or laser. Like the rest of the line, it is a true 85 percent scale 1911, so everything from the grip safety to the single-action trigger and thumb safety works exactly as it does on a full-size .45.

What that buys the shooter is a pistol with genuine 1911 handling and trigger feel at a fraction of the weight and recoil, in a size that conceals easily. An excellent carry option for those who want a manual safety and a crisp single-action break.
