For those that don't make their own holsters 'Privateer Leather' also makes a selection.

I've got the Browning 1911-22,

Very fun little gun, the most reliable semi-auto .22 pistol (or rifle for that matter), that I have ever shot. Never had any malfunctions in about 1,500 Plus rounds.

Accurate, Hmmm? Depends on what you call accurate. Can't compare to a Ruger Mark pistol, etc., more in the plinker class in my book. But good enough for squirrels and such out to maybe 40 yards, or thereabouts.

If Browning made a 1911-22 that could compete with the Ruger Mark pistols accuracy-wise and had an adjustable rear sight... I would own another one.

A 1911 Guy, but I have issues with the grip safety with my medium/large mitts. Hand size? shooting style? neither my wife, daughter or son do.

Mine had the issue of shooting way too high, a few others have had the same issue. I put a taller front sight on it. If not, then pretty close to a Novak cut. Problem solved.

Definitely not a gotta have gun for me. Glad I have it though, and never plan on selling it. Not sure I have much choice as both my wife and daughter love shooting it.

Anymore feedback on the 1911-380?

I held one of these last week and liked it. It felt good in my hand, action was smooth, nice trigger, and just seemed like a nice piece. I’m not trying to open the debate about the effectiveness of a .380 for SD but generally interested in the gun itself and how it functions.

Mine functions perfectly. Due to the locked breech design, it's noticeably less snappy than my Sig P232 .380.
