Browning 1911 22

[sipowicz]

Anyone interested in one of these? I really like this platform for a 22 and the fact that it is a scaled down version of the full size 1911....

I really like it too. The one that I handled was part of a 2-gun set and had gold inlay. Because it had a nylon tie wrapped around the hammer, I wasn't able to assess the trigger. It had good balance and felt good in my hand.

I cannot wait for the regular models to hit the stores.

IIRC, it comes in a standard length slide and a scaled down Commander length. I'm not sure which one I prefer.

Sig has one also. I am waiting for a Tactical version

 

[Grayfox]

I've been waiting. So far none have shown up around here and dealers have no idea when they can get one.
I will most likely buy one, but I want to get it in my hand and see how it feels first.

Put me down for a No
If I'm gonna spend $550 for a .22 I'm buying a new Ruger SP101

Just to compare. The Sig version is full size. Wood grips and Buds price is $361.00. I saw one at the gun shop and it's not a redone Mosquito.

My shop has a commemorative one. It has gold trim and embossing. It feels like a cheap plastic toy to me. And the price is a tad over $1000.00. But it does come with a kbar.

It sure favors my German Sport Gun. I got it for $300 new.

Looks like a neat little...toy. Not that I have anything against neat toys at all. But I'm well served by my Colt conversion unit on a Gold Cup frame.

Maybe I should leave a picture around (ok, e-mail it) where my grateful, loving kids will see it...

I believe it is the same gun.

My dealer says another couple of weeks and they hit the store. I have had money down on one for about 6 months now or so.

I once owned a colt ace conversion unit. I have a pachmyere rebuilt super accurate remington rand I put it on. I found it inaccurate and sold it.

I`m interested in one. But I`ll wait until they have been out for a while and see what other people think of them. See a few reviews before making up my mind about getting one or not.
They seem a bit pricey. Keep thinking at that price I could add a couple hundred more and get a Kimber Rimfire.

I've got money down on one and impatiently waiting the phone call saying that it's here. Same sad story on the M&P 22 pistol.

Our buyer had a conversation with one of the sales people at Lipsey's. He said he shot one a while back, but there are none in his pipeline. Everything that Browning sells is on the expensive side. I hope the quality is there, 'cause I'd be interested in getting one.

BTW, a fellow employee bought one of those GSG (German Sport Guns) 22's and said she loves it.
