\"Black<\/a>Nope, I\u2019m not talking about Johnnie Walker scotch or beer. Black Label is the name Browning has attached to a line of what they call \u201ctactical gear\u201d<\/a> though I think \u201cshooter\u2019s gear\u201d is probably a better name for the stuff. Part of the Black Label product line is clothing<\/a> and while I wear a lot of Mountain Khaki clothing my Black Label, Tracer Soft Shell Jacket<\/a> goes with me almost everywhere.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s not the point of this post. If you have been following this blog you know that I am not at SHOT but I do have \u2013 in a tactical sense \u2013 operatives on the ground. The Intel I received this morning deals with a new handgun from Browning that is also part of the Black Label line.<\/p>\n

Guns have lot of serious uses but guns should also be fun. One of the most fun guns to shoot I have ever wrapped my hands around is Browning\u2019s miniature 1911-22. (Check out the VIDEO)<\/a> For 2014 Browning has tricked out this little gem and added practical sights, an ambidextrous thumb safety, a beavertail grip safety with a checkered memory pad, checkered front and back straps, skeletonized trigger and hammer and a rail on the dust cover.<\/p>\n

Yep it looks like a high speed, low drag pistol but remember, this is a .22 LR pistol that is only 85% the size of a real 1911. These make great trail or house guns and your kids and wife will love to shoot them. They are particularly practical as a starter gun for the young and the old.\u00a0This updated version of the Browning 1911-22 should sale about as well as Walker\u2019s scotch but I\u2019m thinking it will cost a few dollars more. Its not available for viewing on the Browning.com<\/a> yet but the other four models<\/a> \u00a0of this pistol are. While you are checking those out, might as well investigate one of todays most overlooked defensive handguns.<\/a><\/p>\n
