Browning 1911….
- Thread starter mk70ss
- Start date
One of our local ranges had an intro night where you got to fire five different handguns (of their choosing) 10 rounds each.
One of them, I believe, was the little Browning like your (except the one I shot was all blue).
I think it was a fluke but I shot a tighter group with that gun than with any of my own .22's.
I wanted to ask the range folk what the gun would sell for but they were swamped that night and I never did get back to them. I like the two-tone gun you have. Good luck.

I’ve had one for several years. It does feel a bit weird shooting it after my full size 1911’s, but it’s fun. Mine is the GI commander version, and the sights are a bit tiny, but it shoots well.
Had a lot of people that laughed when I got it………but it’s one everyone wants to shoot when we go out.

Actually, I believe it's 80% scale (might be 75%, but I believe it's 80%).mk70ss said:
My friends at M1911.org reviewed it a few years back.

You are correct. That was covered in the review I posted a link to, but I didn't re-read the review before I posted the link.

It's not a 1911 in the purest sense of the phrase, but since it's a Browning-and they call it a 1911/22 or 1911/380, it's a 1911.

People will say a Springfield Loaded isn't a 1911, either. But most others get the idea it's a 1911 variant.

Whether or not something "is" a 1911 is somewhat flexible. For example, Imbel (the Brazilian company that, until a few years ago, made all of Springfield Armory's 1911 pistols) has for sale in Brazil a CCO-sized "1911" (Commander-length slide on an Officers ACP-size frame) that's chambered in .380 ACP and has a fixed barrel. No link-down -- it operates on direct blow-back, just like these little Browning .380s.
I still consider the Imbels to be 1911s.
Para-Ordnance made their double-action only LDA pistols. They certainly looked like 1911s (except for the trigger). The action was totally different from the Brpwning-designed 1911 action, but I'm still willing to consider my LDA to be a 1911.
And then there's the Coonan ...

I keep hoping, apparently beyond hope, that one of these days they'll chamber one for .32 ACP.
I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

If I ever manage to build one in .380 ACP, I'll start on a .32 ACP just for you.Mike Irwin said:
