Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

This recall involves approximately 1,265 Browning Leather Pistol Holsters designed for 1911-380 and 1911-22 pistols. The brown leather holsters feature yellow stitching and the Browning buckmark logo branded on the front. They were sold at sporting goods stores and online from September 2017 through December 2019 for about $80. Browning has received one report of the holster shifting a firearm's safety switch, though no injuries have been reported.

Risk

The design of the holster can unintentionally move the firearm's safety switch to the 'off' position without the user's knowledge. If the trigger is then accidentally pulled while the gun is holstered or being handled, the firearm could fire unexpectedly, posing a serious risk of gunshot wounds to the user or bystanders.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using the recalled holster and verify if yours is affected by checking the back of the original packaging for Item No. 12904011 and UPC Code 023614843702.
  2. Identify the holster by its brown leather, yellow stitching, and the embossed Browning buckmark logo on the front.
  3. Contact Browning to receive a free replacement holster by calling 800-945-5372 from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. MT Monday through Friday, or emailing HolsterRecall@browning.com.
