Browning 1911-22 A1 Full Size .22 LR Pistol
Browning's faithful .22 LR interpretation of the classic 1911, scaled to 85% of the original. Features a 4.25" stainless steel barrel, alloy frame, walnut grips, and 10-round magazine. California compliant.
The Rimfire 1911 Done Right
The Browning 1911-22 A1 represents a thoughtful approach to introducing shooters to one of firearms history's most iconic designs. Rather than simply installing a .22 LR conversion kit into a full-size 1911, Browning engineered this pistol to 85% scale of John Browning's original 1911 in .45 ACP—maintaining the proportions and handling characteristics that made the design legendary.
