    New 1911


    I debated whether or not to post up, but I wasn't aware colt had licensed some .22 1911's so I figured maybe it would be nice to let people know. Originally I had ordered an M&P .22 through Steve at MGS, but at the last minute he convinced me to buy another 1911. Most all of the parts are interchangeable, except the caliber specific parts. Add in a 12rd mag and 1911 feel and it's a winner. They are suppose to be extremely accurate and reliable. My only concern is with a 5" barrel my .22 is going to go supersonic I'm sure.

      Big props to Steve @ MGS, gave me a great deal on it. He has a few more up there if anyone is interested. One interesting thing is it's kinda hefty. It actually weighs an oz more than my delta and my M1911.

          I picked up a Sig 1911-22OD froma board member earlier this week and I can't wait to get to the range this weekend and shoot it. Has the nice look and feel of a 1911 but I can afford to shoot it!

              Honestly I never left the counter and looked, but they usually do.

                Are the Colts 1911-22's still made by Umarex?

                I got the Sig over the Colt, back when I bought one, because the Colts were Umarex and the Sigs were GSG. GSG seemed to have better quality, but it's been a while since i purchased or looked at them.

                  Well, just about every reviewer and owner I've read over at 1911.org and the GSG forums agree the umarex colt's are much better quality. But, the GSG's are nearly $150 cheaper. Umarex makes the Colt AR15 .22's as well.

                    Interesting. From playing with both back when I purchased the GSG seemed better quality. Like I said though, it's been quite some time so maybe Umarex stepped it up or GSG lost their QC.

                    Either way, let us know how she performs.

                      Only suppressed gun that is more gentlemanly is the Walther PPK. Even in .22lr, I tilt my hat in approval to you sir.

                        Does the slide lock back after the last round has been fired? I always hated that problem on the conversion kits.

                          Yep, it locks back. The GSG's lock on the magazines, the colts lock back on the actual slide lock.

                              Yep. Locks back on the slide not the mag.

                              My Sig is the loudest 22 pistol I have ever heard. With the Alpine you can only hear the action....
