    My little friend has been flawless and accurate.
    No failures. Easy to clean. Best .22 semi-auto I own. I can field strip this fine pistol and clean it thoroughly in minutes, unlike my Ruger Mk II (which is a fine pistol, but field stripping is a big job).

    Went to the range today with the Browning 1911-A1 22LR. Fired 90 rounds total. No failures. The firearm has never had a failure. What a breeze to take down and clean.

    I have a total of 286 rounds through the pistol of various types of bulk 22 LR ammo.

    This pistol is a pleasure to shoot. I have been working on trigger control. The pistol is so light that it really shows how well you control the trigger pull and your body. Excellent practice pistol.

    Today I was using 36 grain Federal, in the 525 round carton.

    Looks awesome...

    Can you elaborate on the field strip problem...?!

    Is this the one where you need a paper clip to help ?

    Read a review in one of the gun mags that pointed out that one model reviewed required a paper clip to help break it down...which I think is crazy !

    I was referring to the Ruger. The Browning takes down like any 1911, as it should. Good job Browning.

    Just purchased 1911-22 and went straight to the gun range and shot 300 rounds. Loved the gun, except for one thing: the return of the hammer wore a hole in my hand. The hammer travels past the stop upon recoil. Any suggestions on how to stop the hammer from hitting my hand?

    Thanks for the review. It's amazing how such an "old" design has endured after all these years.

    How does the accuracy of the 1911-.22 compare to a Ruger Mark I/II or a High Standard?

    Can't say for sure Ron...I don't own a 1911-22.
