Browning 1911-22 .... 8000 rounds and counting...awesome .22

[1911nut]

I now have over 3500 rounds though the Browning 1911-22 with a total of 5 FTF "Fail to fire". I have not experienced any other problems. I have to say this is the best 1911-22 I have had the pleasure to shoot. I still can't believe how trouble free this little gun is.

My heavy trigger has lightened up immensely. I had it measured with a trigger pull meter last week and it is running at about 4.5 lbs.

I had my trigger done and now I am having Rodger (Dark Int.) install a front fiber optic sight as I really hate that black sight.....

I got mine from Ellwood Epps after going to the Browning site and looking for Canadian dealers.
No complaints at all.

Looks like Frontier has some in stock at a good price...

Thanks guys

Internet forums are public, bro.

Just a heads up.

At the range I carry handguns to the targets and back in my pants pockets all the time...what's your point?

gotta say I like dealing with Frontier


I was looking at the different makers , what sold me on the browning is the design...separate barrel.

My boys birthday is coming up so I thought it would be a good excuse to get a semi for him to shoot....
I have a 6" S&W 17-4 he shoots but its a stretch for his finger. If my Mom likes the browning, I may buy her one too.

What kind of front sight are you going to use?

I'd like to replace mine as well. I hate the all black sights on it. That's my only complaint, really.

Would a dab of brightly coloured paint help, perhaps?

These are custom made. Haven't got the gun back from the gunsmith yet but as soon as I do I will post pictures.

I have just returned from the range with my 1911-22.

I tried it with several kinds of .22LR ammunition, and it functioned perfectly with every round and both of the two magazines I have for it. I was very impressed with it's accuracy as it grouped tightly with everything I fed it.

Fantastic gun!!!!

 

[Klondiker]

It sounds like a great little piece.

Does anyone know who carries extra magazines for it?

 

[Jackspade]

They have been backordered for a very long time... The last retailer that had them in stock was Sporteque... Now can't find them anywhere.

I placed an order with Al Simon's in Hamilton about 5 months ago for 2 mags and have not heard since...

 

[Klondiker]

Yikes! That's not good...It's not like a guy'll be using it for IDPA but it's always nice to have a few spares

 

[Jeff/1911]

It seems I will need to sell my 1911-22 to pay some bills...

I'll be listing it on the EE tonight once I get some pictures taken. It will come with a second factory mag.

Well, that sure didn't last long!

Finally....

...Got my Browning back from Rodger... Excellent job, custom sights:

Worth every penny... Which by the way, considering that both front and rear were custom built, turned out cheaper than buying factory sights and having them installed....

Excellent. How much did that run you?

 

[Jackspade]

$75 taxes in...

I think that's a great deal!
