Anyone know of a shop that has one of the 7/8 scale Browning 1911 22's in stock, in Oregon?

Have tried NW Armory, Sportsman's warehouse, Cabela's and all the local shops.

I know the full sized Browning 1911 22LR has been discontinued, but can't even locate one of the smaller ones?

Thanks! Virgil B.

Got a local shop to order a Browning 1911 Black Label 22 LR for me!

It has a beavertail grip safety, skeleton hammer, wood grips, etc.

They had to get it from out of state, but it should be here Monday.

Can't WAIT to shoot this Pistol!


One happy old goat, Virgil B.

I like 'em.....

Very Jealous of you both and the Brownings. I tripped a while back and bought a sig that was on a table at a local club. Have always wanted a 22lr 1911. That was a huge mistake. It is made by a toy company that does air soft and the function is way below expectation for a Sig Sauer product. Previous owner made modifications to try to get it to work. Should have walked away.
About the only good thing in the deal was three magazines and nice wood grips with the Sig logo. Expensive mistake for a set of grips.
Huntsman…… as always with the great photos of dead stuff and 22’s I like.
Enjoy the Brownings guys.

Sig Sauer sells them also

huntsman, I think mine will be similar to the one in your third picture, 'cept it will have a rail.

It should have the same grips.

Didn't really care about the rail, but it was my only option for getting one of these.

Picked up the case for this set at a yard sale recently. It cost me a whole dollar, which is why I picked it up. Anyone need/want it? 1911-22 and knife set, not the two pistol set. Probably fit in a flat rate box. Shipping cost only.

anybody know anything about the colt 1911 22's? Guy at the counter said walther was making them.

Go to the Browning website with the 1911 .22 page here: https://www.browning.com/products/firearms/pistols/1911-22.html

Click on the pistol of your choice, click on "specifications", it will show the UPC number. Copy it.

Go to gun dot deals here: https://gun.deals/

Where it says "search keyword", paste the UPC number.

It will show who has them in stock from cheapest to most expensive.

Anyone know who actually manufactures the Browning 1911A1-22LR?

Am thinking I've head Sig?

Thanks! Virgil B.

Close........but not a cigar

Sig builds the same one but more bucks

They're made by Arms Technology in Salt Lake.

Anyone have experience with the composite frames on these? Any problems or quirks about them to be aware of?

no problems. But if it bothers you, get the alunamin models.....

Thanks Huntsman! Good to know.

Sure hope there aren't any problems with the composite frames on these!

Looks like that's what mine will be.

Gotta check the website again and see what the weight is of the composite models.

Am thinking it will be close to my Glock 44-22LR. Nice, handy all day "packin" weight!

Virgil B.

Just looked up the weight of both the Glock 4422LR and the Browning 1911A1.

The Glock weighs .64 oz. more with empty mags installed!

Also interesting; The aluminum frame model Browning weighs the same as the composite model!

Virgil B.

I picked up my new Browning 1911A1 yesterday.

First impressions are GREAT!

The composite frame is growing on me.

The square trigger guard is actually pretty handy.

Doubt I'll ever hang a light of the rail.

Too hot to shoot much, but I ran 10 quick rounds through it for a function test. 100% so far.

It seems sighted pretty close. I hit my 2" spinner 9 out of the 10 shots. (about 10 yards)

Good enough for almost 70 year old eyes!

Virgil B.

Forgot to ask;

Anybody know how difficult it is to remove the magazine safety that won't let the pistol be fired without the mag inserted?

Thanks! Virgil B.

added a reddot.... now to find a threaded barrel

Good looking setup Huntsman 22!

Might you know anything about removing the magazine disconnect so that these Browning 22's can be fired with the magazine removed?

Am thinking It should reduce the trigger pull somewhat also.

Thanks! Virgil B.

mud bogger;

Thanks! That's what I was looking for.

Sounds like a pretty simple "operation" to remove the magazine disconnect.

Virgil B.

Here's one in GA.

Huntsman,

Could you repost that photo? It seems to have disappeared. And how did you mount the red dot?

used one of these....
https://www.egwguns.com/deltapoint-...field-accelerator-and-optima-blank-mount

had a local 'smith mill it, and thin it down to fit the rear sight dovetail.

I’ll have to look into that. I’m not a huge fan of the sights on mine. And I contacted browning about a threaded barrel and they had no idea when they would have any available

There have been none available for over a year.....
