Michigan Joe Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 What a great review! Umarex, which owns Walther, is doing a brisk business in .22's. Looks like Germany is a hotbed of 1911 .22's. I want one! I want one! NOW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longitude Zero Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Excellent review. I had a Colt Ace and I for one am very glad Umarex stayed away form that nasty piece of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilibreaux Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Experience with the Umarex built Walther P-22 tells me they know how to make well fitted pistols. While I might know the "Colt" branded model is built by Umarex, the Colt markings lend a certain degree of authenticity - legitimacy that would not be there if another, "lesser" name were on the slide.For example, I have a "genuine Colt" 1849 Pocket revolver complete with all authentic reproduction markings....sure, I "know" it was built by Uberti and shipped over to Colt for that final, special touch, but still, it has the correct markings and that adds something that makes it more valuable than one without.For the price, the "Colt" 1911-22 has to be a "must have" for anyone who appreciates the species.
