The one that was getting a lot of attention was the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.browning.com\/products\/catalog\/firearms\/detail.asp?value=028B&amp;cat_id=051&amp;type_id=802&amp;content=1911-22-a1-firearms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Browning 1911-22<\/a>. It was the one pistol that everyone had to handle when they went to the Browning booth from what I saw.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Browning-1911-22-blog.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"478\" src=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Browning-1911-22-blog.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\nIt is supposed to be a 7\/8&#8217;s version of the standard 1991 pistol. I&#8217;m not sure I&#8217;d agree with that. It felt smaller when you handled it. It almost had &#8220;cute&#8221; status. If I planned to get a 1911 in .22 for training purposes this wouldn&#8217;t be the one to get. The MSRP on the Browning 1911-22 is $600 which makes it bit expensive just for plinking.<\/p>\n<p>The other 1911 in .22 LR that caught my eye was the one put out by Sig Sauer. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sigsauer.com\/CatalogProductDetails\/1911-22.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Their 1911-22<\/a> is a full-size Government model pistol. I think it does have great potential for training as it is a full-size pistol.&nbsp; You have a pistol that fits your existing .45 ACP 1911&#8217;s holster, has roughly the same weight and operating controls, yet shoots ammo that costs about 2 cents a round instead of 35-40 cents a round. To top it off, the Sig Sauer 1911-22 has a MSRP of only $400. If it were me, I&#8217;d go with a dedicated pistol like this than with a conversion kit. As it is, this pistol is on my &#8220;to-buy&#8221; list.<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Sig-1911-22-blog.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Sig-1911-22-blog.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\nLooking at the pictures, you can get a good size comparison because both pistols are held by the Complementary Spouse. You will notice that the Sig Sauer 1911-22 is much larger than her hand while the Browning 1911-22 fits almost in the palm of her hand.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There were a handful of 1911&#8217;s at the NRA Annual Meeting in .22 LR.
