The Browning 1911-22 Black Label Compact delivers authentic 1911 handling with economical .22 LR training capabilities. This compact frame variant maintains the classic 1911 ergonomics while offering affordable practice sessions and reduced recoil for new shooters.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic .22 LR conversions, the Black Label features a dedicated polymer frame engineered specifically for rimfire cartridges. The 3.63-inch stainless steel barrel provides corrosion resistance superior to standard carbon steel barrels. The integrated Picatinny rail accepts tactical accessories without frame modifications, while the beavertail grip safety maintains authentic 1911 manual of arms.

The compact frame dimensions make this pistol suitable for concealed carry training while maintaining full-size 1911 control placement. Range sessions become more affordable with .22 LR ammunition costs, allowing extensive trigger time without the expense of centerfire cartridges. The stainless barrel resists fouling from .22 LR residue better than blued alternatives, extending cleaning intervals during high-volume practice.
