Browning 1911-22 A1 Compact .22 LR 10+1 3.63" Stainless Barrel

The Browning 1911-22 A1 Compact delivers authentic 1911 handling with affordable .22 LR ammunition, making it an ideal training companion for centerfire 1911 owners. This compact variant maintains the classic 1911 profile while offering reduced recoil and operating costs. The aluminum frame construction keeps weight manageable at approximately 16 ounces unloaded.

What Makes This Different

Unlike polymer-framed .22 pistols, the 1911-22 A1 Compact replicates the exact grip angle and control placement of full-size 1911 pistols. The single-action trigger mechanism mirrors centerfire 1911 operation, providing consistent training value. The stainless steel barrel offers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard carbon steel barrels, extending service life in humid conditions.

Key Features

• 10+1 capacity with included magazine for extended shooting sessions

Range performance centers on consistent cycling with quality .22 LR ammunition, handling both standard velocity and high-velocity loads reliably.
