<p> Browning&reg; scaled the 1911-22 A1 Semi-Auto Rimfire Pistol to fit the .22 LR cartridge, making it approximately 85% of the original size Model 1911. The Browning 1911-22 A1 still handles, and disassembles just like the 45 caliber 1911 used by the U.S. military for over 100 years. All of the pistol's controls operate as those on the original designed Model 1911. The slide stays open on an empty magazine and is released by either pushing down on the manual slide release, or pulling back on the slide and letting it go after a loaded magazine is inserted into the magazine well. The magazine release is positioned adjacent to the trigger guard for convenient operation, and the grip safety and thumb safety are also true to the original 1911. The 1911-22 features an aluminum alloy frame and slide finished in matte black, and brown composite, checkered grip panels. The barrel is made of stainless steel and has a target crown. The true GI style sights are unobtrusive and quick to pick up. The Browning 1911-22 A1 Semi-Auto Rimfire Pistol gives shooters the opportunity to inexpensively practice shooting a 1911-designed pistol, while learning one of the most important chapters in U.S. firearms history. Comes with one 10-round steel magazine.</p><ul> <li>Operates and disassembles like the original 1911</li> <li>Scaled to fit the .22 LR cartridge</li> <li>85% of the original size 1911</li> <li>Aluminum alloy frame and slide</li> <li>Grip and thumb safety</li> <li>Checkered grip panels</li> <li>Stainless steel barrel</li> <li>GI style sights</li> <li>10-round magazine</li></ul>
