The Browning 1911-22 is everything a .22 LR caliber 1911 should be—built to 85% of the scale of John M. Browning’s original 1911 pistol in .45 ACP, rather than a conversion kit modification. Designed faithfully to look and feel of the original government model 1911-A1, this single-action rimfire pistol delivers the handling, controls, and disassembly characteristics of its military predecessor in a more economical package.
This model features an engineering-grade composite frame with a 7075 aluminum subframe and slide rails, paired with a matte black anodized alloy slide and 4-1/4″ corrosion-resistant steel barrel. Fixed sights provide quick target acquisition, while brown composite grips offer authentic 1911 aesthetics. The single-action straight blowback operation foregoes the tilting barrel in favor of simplicity, and the 10-round magazine is made from solid steel with a coil spring for reliable operation.
The barrel features a target crown, while a polished feed ramp ensures accurate feeding of rimfire ammunition. This semi-automatic rimfire pistol gives shooters the opportunity to inexpensively practice shooting a 1911-designed pistol while learning one of the most important chapters in U.S. firearms history. The package includes a pistol rug for convenient storage and transport.
