OT-1911 type in .22 LR

Post by Bigahh »

Was watching one of the Hunting Channels last night, and they were testing the Bran New Browning 1911 Clone in .22lr It worked Flawless. Going to be released early 2011 of course in 2 sizes. The guy was really hammering a Pop can size target at 50 yards with the mini sized Pistol! Looked interesting enough to make me want one!

I think it's a rebadged Chiappa.

Wasn't much impressed with the Chiappa. I didn't buy one of those. I recently bought one of the GSG 1911 22s. Unfortunately haven't had it out much but it's fed everything so far and I like it so far. The colt branded clone I think is made by Umarex USA. There is another downsized (2/3? size) 1911 copy coming out in 22 but I don't remember the maker.

I have one of the old KART bullseye kits on a WWII Ithaca frame. It takes Colt Ace mags, and with a good mag is scary accurate. The KART kits are highly sought after by competition shooters though, and can get a little pricey WHEN you find one, but are well worth the money.

Here's one on a Vega frame, though is overpriced.

I've one of the GSGs. It's a nice shooter but not as accurate as my Ruger Target. Frankly, a Ruger of any sort would be a better bet but there's just something about a 1911 in .22!

Best,

Ditto. I looked at the Kimber kit to fit my 45 but decided on the full 22 pistol. It is extremely accurate and reliable with the right ammo. I did buy it to practice in volume in prep for the 45 but there are large differences. The pistol is very light, almost too light. And there is no hold open on the last shot so speed reload practice doesn 't translate very well. Even so it is a great 1911` 22.

I've got the Kimber kit for mine and with Federal Auto Match it shoots as good as I've ever been able to shoot a pistol.

I have a GSG-5, and simply love it. When I get a 1911-type pistol in .22 LR, it will be a GSG. :D
