It appears Browning is coming out with a 1911 in .380 next month. I am thinking about one for my wife, any initial thoughts pro or con on this unit?

Maybe this will help. We were discussing the new rock island 380 1911....
I'll check it out.

if you like the features of a 1911 and like 380, have you looked at the sig p238 ?
She has a Colt Mustang, just looking for a little larger frame. Interestingly, we don't have a true 1911, a Defender, Mustang and 1911-22. I should put a true 1911 on my short list.

If looking for a 1911 on a budget, I highly reccomend the rock isle no frills units. You see them as low as 349$ sometimes. The 1 mag they come with is generic, but I replaced mine with a couple milspec ones and some upgrade stainless ones and love it.

It's too early to buy one.,,,
Even though I'm intrigued as all heck.

Let Browning work out the inevitable kinks,,,
And there will be some kinks,,,
On someone else's dime.

Need I remind everyone of the Remington R-51 fiasco?

Of course you could also look at the used firearms area of your favorite gun stores. Llama made a little 380 that was sort of a shrunk down 1911. I have one in .22 and bought it 2nd hand back in the 70s because it is like a little 1911, except straight blow back of course.



And field stripped. I just love the little grip safety.
