Browning 1911-22 Black Label Compact .22 LR 10+1 3.63" Polar Blue

The Browning 1911-22 Black Label Compact delivers authentic 1911 handling with economical .22 LR ammunition, making high-volume training and plinking both affordable and effective. This compact variant maintains the classic 1911 profile while offering reduced size for enhanced portability and concealment applications.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard rimfire pistols, this model replicates the exact grip angle, trigger pull, and manual of arms of centerfire 1911 pistols. The polymer frame construction reduces overall weight by approximately 30% compared to steel-frame variants while maintaining structural integrity. The 3.63-inch barrel length provides optimal balance between accuracy and compactness, delivering consistent performance within a more manageable package.

Key Features

• Authentic 1911 ergonomics and controls for seamless training transition

The .22 LR chambering enables extended practice sessions at a fraction of centerfire ammunition costs while maintaining ballistic consistency suitable for precision training out to 50 yards. Competition shooters frequently utilize this platform for fundamentals practice, while recreational shooters appreciate the reduced noise and recoil characteristics. The compact frame dimensions make this suitable for smaller-statured shooters or those requiring a more concealable training analog.
