About the Cartridge

Designed by John Browning and introduced by Fabrique Nationale of Belgium, this cartridge has achieved world-wide acceptance and has even been adopted as the standard pistol cartridge by several governments. One reason for the round's success is that it is the largest practical cartridge that can be easily adapted to small automatic pocket pistols. Ballistics fall far short of even the 9mm Luger, but still prove adequate for most self-defense situations. The round has established quite a niche position in this role, often being chosen over more traditional small calibers such as the .25 and .32 Autos.

Browning’s 85 percent scale 1911 .380ACP is surprisingly fun to shoot. The grip is sufficient for my size Large hands, and the G10 panels (Pro Full size version) provide excellent purchase. The white 3-dot sights work very well, and the gun shoots to POI right out of the box. The 4.25” barrel provides a good sight radius and helps deliver the round’s potential. While not as concealable as Ruger’s LCP, the shooting comfort nod definitely goes to the 1911-380. Pairs well with my full size 1911 45ACP during range sessions.
