The Browning 1911-22 Compact pistol in .22 LR with a matte gray slide and rosewood grips (brand part no. 051880490) shrinks the classic 1911 profile into a lightweight rimfire trainer for range practice and 1911 shooters who want an affordable round-count platform. Browning builds the pistol with a 3.58-inch stainless barrel and a serrated slide over an alloy frame, and fixed sights keep the sight picture familiar to centerfire 1911 shooters. A grip-and-thumb safety mirrors the manual of arms of a full-size 1911, and the pistol weighs just 16 ounces. Among compact rimfire semi-auto handguns, this 1911-22 Compact configuration favors 1911 owners who want low-cost practice with the same manual of arms.
