I bought the wife a browning black label 22 lr 2-3 years ago...... what a fun little gun.... after a couple weeks she said hey "do you mind if i try your colt acp officers model 45" as she said her browning seems alot like my colt.............. hum really, long story short, this little browning got her bank into shooting a bunch of my guns..... I find myself going on hikes with it or one of my ruger single sixs in 22 mag.... so if they are really making the 1911 in 22 mag ..... YOU BET I WANT ONE..... This would combine two of my favourite hiking guns, and i would have the best of both worlds...
