Description

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. The controls operate the same as the original design in an extremely accurate firearm that is prefect for plinking or teaching new shooters. Its smaller size is ideal for small hands and yet the checkered rosewood grip panels with gold Buckmark inlay 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 polished flats that houses an extremely accurate stainless steel barrel with a target crown. It has a solidly constructed black composite polymer frame with the familiar 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 trigger guard. The Browning 1911-22 A1 Black Label Medallion Compact is a must have firearm for any shooter’s collection and an even better choice as a first time firearm purchase.
