In honor of the 100TH Anniversary honoring John Moses Browning’s Development of the M1911 .45 Browning has released the 1911-22 A1. The original 1911 platform has been scaled down as a single action straight blow back operated firearm that is 85 percent of the original. The results have been astounding! This redesign accommodates the much smaller .22 Long Rifle cartridge with flawless performance under a Commander hammer. The controls operate the same as the original design in an extremely accurate firearm that is perfect for plinking or teaching new shooters. Its smaller size is idea for small hands and yet the black laminate stippled grip panels retain a size comfortable enough for larger hands as well. In traditional Browning craftsmanship the 1911-22 A1 features a machined aluminum slide with a matt black finish and an extremely accurate stainless steel barrel with a target muzzle crown. It has a solidly constructed black composite polymer frame with an accessory rail under the dust cover and checkered front grip panel. The familiar safeties include an extended ambidextrous thumb safety and a beaver tail grip safety. It comes with a reliable 10 round steel magazine and the magazine release is still positioned in the same comfortable location adjacent to the squared off trigger guard. The Browning 1911-22 A1 is a must have firearm for any shooters collection and an even better choice as a first time firearm purchase.
