The Browning 1911-22 Black Label Full Size with Rail is a .22 LR pistol built to approximately 85 percent of the scale of the original .45 ACP Model 1911 (Browning part no. 051816490). A light A1 polymer frame carries a 1913 Picatinny rail on the dust cover, so a light or laser can be mounted without any gunsmithing. Black laminated, stippled grips, a checkered front strap and a commander-style hammer give it the look of a custom 1911. With a 4-1/4-inch barrel and a 10-round magazine it suits range practice and plinking.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is .22 LR, a rimfire cartridge with mild recoil that makes long practice sessions easy on the hands.
• The barrel is 4-1/4 inches of steel in a matte finish, which gives a longer sight radius than the compact version of this pistol.
• Magazine capacity is 10 rounds in a single-stack magazine, a full-size count for a 1911-style rimfire.
• Overall length is 7-1/2 inches, a size that stays comfortable in a range bag or pistol rug.
• Weight is 14 ounces, light enough to keep fatigue down through a long day of shooting.
• The frame is a high-strength A1 polymer design with a black composite finish that resists wear and holds weight down.
• A 1913 Picatinny accessory rail on the dust cover mounts a weapon light or laser, which adds practical use to a rimfire trainer.
• The grips are black laminated with a stippled texture, which gives a firm hold and a clean custom look.
• The sights are black A1-style fixed front and rear with a 5-3/8-inch sight radius, a simple fixed setup with no adjustment needed.
• A beavertail grip safety and an extended slide release round out the controls, which follow the original 1911 layout.
