Will you be getting the Browning 1911 in 380ACP?

Unsure how desirable this pistol is to others, besides me - but I've been looking for a .380 pistol for a while and there is limited choice unless you go for a Makarov or Grand Power. This looks like a good option as it's in a proven 1911 design but at 85% the size and 4.25" barrel. I read that these are coming out next month but may be out already.

I can't see these having a street price much more than the Black Label .22's... any idea?

Indeed. I sold my .22's and this would be great to start off friends/beginners who go to the range with me and are new to centerfire... (however there is some really good .380 ammo nowadays, for those who dismiss this caliber.)

Might have to add a Browning to the mix !
 
Besides having it just because to have it, I don't really see any purpose of this gun in Canada... For practice, range fun, etc. a .22 to me is better option in all aspects...

I sold every .22 I had as they bored me after a while, wouldn't want one right now if it was given to me for free. I said goodbye to the caliber for good.

Centerfire pistols are more fun and .380 is a light recoiling caliber. Great option for those who don't want excessive recoil and for smaller shooters but who also want the centerfire feel. Not for everyone, but when they come in - they'll sell.

Let's try to keep the thread clean of this and have only those who are interested in the pistol, to post.

My response was for this statement;

"Unsure how desirable this pistol is to others, besides me...".

Thought you like to hear what other people think about it...

Well, this is the sponsor section and I'm sure they'd rather have people who actually want to buy their product instead of someone bashing it. It seems that it's actually quite desirable and my question has been answered. There is little choice for this caliber and another choice for the Canadian firearms community is a good thing.
