Browning 1911-22
Anyone else had the opportunity to handle one of these? Wow, this has to be an all time low for Browning. They look cheap, feel worse and cost a good deal more than the Sig 1911-22.

Haven't seen the Browning yet, but I've looked at most of the other "clone" 22's. So far, all of them have looked & felt cheap to me.
The one newer 22 pistol that does interest me ever so slightly, and I'm not even sure on that, is Ruger's rendition of the Walther P-22. From the few minutes I had one in hand, it looks to be steel & not cheap "pot metal" crap like most of the other Airsoft quality 22's, including the Walther. Sure won't be buying one until plenty of favorable reviews are in tho.

You can have all the copies/knockoffs/cheap imitations. I'll keep my second generation Colt Ace, thank you very much.

Wait until you see the Browning. I have had cap guns that looked more solid and well made.

I have an SM prefix Colt Ser 70/Mk IV. I wish I had the Ace upper that had been intended for it that day on the production line in addition to the .45 upper it ultimately shipped with.

Its an 80% scale copy of a 1911. Had a Llama 380 that was very similar, but being all steel and a 380, shot and felt "right".
if you want a 22 1911, either buck up the big bucks for a colt ace, a marvel kit and a bunch of mags, etc. or get a GSG 1911-22. There is a 27,000 round review of one on rimfirecentral.com |

You guys are forgetting the Argentine Ace. They are very well made.
