I was not a fan of 380...till Browning introduced the 1911-380.
the longer barrel increased velocity a bit...yet the gun is extremely concealable. very light..and the locked breech took away the snap of a light weight pistol. I need to confess, it was my wife who wanted the 1911-22, followed by the matching 1911-380. the pair fit her hand as if designed for her small hand. the 1911-380 has been 100% reliable, and is now wifes CCW. she can and does shoot extremely tight groups with it.

I should add, wife does have a full size SA Loaded 1911 45, shoots it well, but the size and weight make it a range/truck pistol...and she likes the common controls of the 1911 and the 1911-380
