The Browning 1911-22 Medallion Compact pistol in .22 LR with a 10+1 capacity and a 3.63-inch barrel (brand part no. 051070490) scales the classic 1911 profile down to 85% size and chambers it in affordable, low-recoil .22 LR. Browning equips the pistol with a beavertail grip safety for the same familiar 1911 manual of arms, and the serrated slide supports confident manipulation. Among rimfire 1911-pattern semi-auto handguns, this 1911-22 Medallion Compact configuration favors shooters who want 1911 ergonomics and trigger feel for low-cost practice and plinking.
