Microgunner Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 The scuttlebutt I've heard is it's just one more wannabe lookalike but not really 1911 in .22lr manufactured by an outside contractor who pays Browning to use their name.

imschur Posted November 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 ive heard its not quite full size too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilibreaux Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Be nice if someone would come out with something like the mini-sized Colt .380 "government model" or the old Star model B chambered in .22LR. The .22 is perfect for a reduced size platform and while it's fun to shoot a full size 1911 conversion unit, the P22 is far more "fun" to carry around.

bdavison Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Browning is releasing a "commemorative" issue .22 1911. Its blue with gold inlay. and it comes with a Ka-Bar knife. Wait till you see what they want for it. Academy sports is listing them at $1299 bucks. :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longitude Zero Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 From what my local dealer is hearing and I have seen on the web it is an 85% sized version. My local guy has 10 on order and should be arrving shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilibreaux Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 It is intentionally smaller than a standard 1911 to conform more to the reality of the .22LR cartridge. It reminds me of the old Star Model S .380 which was a scaled down 1911 with identical function. Or the more recent Colt .380 Government which is also a reduced scale 1911 profile.The pistols are out now...rather overpriced I think, but generally have received positive reviews.
