I bought my Sig Sauer 1911-22 last Friday and was really excited about it. I did an initial review with a promise of a range review.

I was pretty busy on Saturday and was unable to get to the range. On Sunday, I had a few things to do in the morning but my afternoon was open. My original plan was to shoot offhand 50 rounds of each type of 22 lr ammo in rapid fire for a function test. Then 50 more rounds of each ammo type at slow fire to test for accuracy. Well, my morning chores spilled into the afternoon and it took a few hours away from my planned shooting regimen.
I used the following ammo:
- CCI Standard Velocity SV (40 gr lead round nose at 1070 fps)
- Federal Auto Match (40 gr lead round nose at 1200 fps)
- Federal 550 Round Value Pack (36 gr copper plated HP at 1260 fps)
- Winchester 555 Rounds Value Pack (36 gr copper plated HP at 1280 fps)
- Remington ShurShot High Velocity HV (36 gr lead HP - unknown velocity).
The day started out nice enough but by the time I got to the range, the wind was picking up and it was sprinkling a little. I put up my target which was a poster board with twelve 6” circles drawn with either a red or green Sharpie with a little half inch dot in the middle as the bulls eye. Distance was 7 yards.
First up was the CCI SV. This is one of my favorite ammo and it has never failed to go bang in any of my other 22 lr pistol or rifles. I loaded up the magazine, racked the slide and sighted in for the first round. Ten rounds later and I am really impressed with the trigger pull. This trigger is almost as good as my Sig 1911 and a lot better than the stock trigger that came in my Milspec. Barely any slack and it broke nicely. Reset was fairly short and due to almost no recoil, follow up shots were fast and easy. The end result, 50 rounds, zero malfunction. Group was around 3” in lower right quarter of the circle.
Second up was the Federal Auto Match. 50 more rounds without a single problem. I was not surprised as this ammo performs just as well as the CCI. The shot group had a core group that was about 2” in size but a few flyers doubled the group size.
I continue to be amazed by this trigger. It is such a short pull and very smooth.
The next one is the Federal value pack. At round number 32, it had a failure to feed. Looking down at the slide, the ammo was at an angle to the barrel. I dropped the mag and the ammo came down after it. Inspection of the ammo showed a deformation, probably from the position it was on the barrel. I inserted the mag and loaded the next round. The rest of the rounds fired without any further hiccup. Groups were again in the same lower right quarter of the circle. 49 out of 50, not bad.
