I just bought my dear, little wife a 1911-22 Compact. She told me she no longer wants to carry the Model 60 as our grandson has found out that Grandma' always has candy or gum in her purse and he doesn't bother to ask for it - he just burrows in and takes it. She wanted an semi-automatic that she could pull the mag out of and render it harmless. She wanted to have a .22 so she could shoot it more...!! I didn't argue (as if that would have changed things) I just ordered it for her. She said that she really likes it because it is a 1911 and it is so easy to operate. I know that it is a mouse gun and it couldn't hurt a flea, etc, etc but she is pretty good with it and it is better than her going without.
