1911 style .22

[BigFoot]

I have been watching a lot of reviews and videos on the Chiappa 1911 .22.

1. Does anyone have a 1911 .22 and if so do you like it?
2. Does anyone have any experience with the Chiappa 1911?

Hm, I remember the Colt Ace ...

Quite unexpectedly, I ran into an old friend one day in the summer of 1957, on a training range at the Basic School in Quantico, VA.

The Chiappa, no. Sounds like "new gun fever" - again! and so soon!

I have a GSG 1911 22. Its a great shooter, feels and handles like a normal 1911 with less recoil and reduce cost to shoot. The Chiappa is also Ok, both companies make most of the "brand name" 1911 22s on the market.

I have one of the Kimber conversion kits for my 1911, does that count.

300 bucks? Heck, at that price just do it! I mistakenly bought a bunch of .22 shorts. So I need something that will fire those eventually.

I have not handled the Chiappa but my LGS has a Wather Gold Cup that feels pretty nice. 399.00 I think? Seems like it would be a lot of fun to shoot!

The problem, Bill, will be finding one. You don't see a lot of 1911 .22's.

Are you looking for a 22 that looks exactly like a 1911? The Ruger 22/45 mimics the grip angle, safety, and mag release of a 1911 but looks like a Ruger.

I only have 1 1911 and that is my Micro-9. The more I use it the more I like it. Eventually I should have the 1911 from CMP. I really wanted the 1911 platform in .22 for inexpensive mechanics of getting used to the pistol as I plan to add a few more 1911's. It is so much different than the Glock platform I am more used to.

I've got a friend with one of these. They are a hoot to shoot!

Lol, I'm a Poet that didn't Know it!

I could thing of a few other things you are as well!

I also have the GSG 1911 .22. I don't use it much, with the Canadian laws around restricted firearms being so strict, but it's a fun little shooter. No complaints. Haven't touched the chiappa.

When I posted earlier and mentioned the full size conversion for my big Kimber 1911, I forgot about the conversion for my little Sig P 938 micro 9mm 1911 type. It's really a hoot and a lot cheaper than 9mm, but being so tiny and short sight sight radius, not the most accurate thing going. Good for tin cans at about 15 yards.

A friend’s father, an officer in the Ninth Infantry Division carried this Colt A1 all the way from Sicily thru North Africa to Normandy, thru the Ruhr Pocket & finally, back to Cherbourg … immediate post-war, he purchased one of those Ace .22-.45 conversion units & regularly put his .22 service pistol through its’ paces until passing a few years ago.

Browning makes a 1911 .22 that I’ve been interested in for ages. They have one in full size and compact too.

 

[Mlee]

I had a Ciener and a Kimber conversion kits. I also had a Colt 1911 Gold Cup, made by Walther if I remember correctly, it had a threaded barrel adapter for my suppressor. They were a lot of fun. I still have .22 conversion kits for a couple of Glocks and ARs.

Time to get a .22 revolver. I have my grandpas HighStandard Sentinel .22. Its great for shooting .22 shorts.

 

[njpaddy]

I've had a Kimber Raptor, with their .22 conversion kit for 15 years or so. I have loads of ammo for both, but it's been years since I've gotten to use it. NJ is not the State to live in for gun owners.

Good idea. If you can find one Mr @Toothpick , get a Ruger Wrangler. Tough looking finish, multiple choices for colors.

My Father-in-law, retired LE (who passed some time ago) used to have a Colt Gold Cup 1911 which is a 22LR target pistol. He thought very highly of these.
