Chiappa 1911-22 .22 LR OD Green 5" Barrel 10+1 Capacity Pistol

The Chiappa 1911-22 delivers classic 1911 handling with affordable .22 LR training capability. This full-size pistol maintains authentic 1911 dimensions and controls while offering economical practice shooting for competitive shooters and enthusiasts.

What Makes This Different

Unlike scaled-down .22 conversions, the Chiappa 1911-22 features a full-size 5-inch barrel and standard 1911 grip angle for authentic handling characteristics. The OD Green Cerakote finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard blued steel. The serrated steel slide reduces glare while maintaining the weight distribution of centerfire 1911 platforms.

Range performance centers on consistent accuracy with quality .22 LR ammunition, typically achieving 2-3 inch groups at 25 yards.

Weather-sealed construction handles moisture exposure during outdoor shooting activities.
