I wonder how reliable they will be. Would be fun to spend a day at the range with one.

That's bad ass! Being a Colt though, I'm sure it'll be higher than giraffe coochie.

$450.

Nice to see they've found yet another way to milk another dollar out of that cash cow gun platform.

Would they PLEASE just leave the 1911 alone, already? Seriously. *shakes head*

*edit*

Also had to laugh at "government model"

Yea, let's see what Government adopts .22LR as their sidearm caliber of choice.

399-450 is MSRP...not bad at all.

I agree, depending on who makes it and how well it functions, there will likely be two under a christmas tree in my household at some point in the future.

You the shitzy my brother from another mother, a card would have been more than OK, but I will never turn down a 1911 LOL !

Its not a colt they just put colts name on the side of it. A company named Umarex is making them. They also make airsoft stuff.

Based on the legendary original Colt Government 1911, this .22 L.R. Pistol sports German quality & craftsmanship.

Kind of self-contradicting.

I hope it does better than their shot at the AR platform.

they look nice for the price but its not a true colt just the name they need to make the one that is called a gold cup in stainless steel

 

[Quickdraw22]

Meh, give me a REAL Colt with a .22 conversion. The price difference would be worth it......

Yeah, my ~$300 Kimber conversion runs like a top on my Commander frame since L2 tweaked it a little. I'll just stay there...

Interesting. I haven't paid much attention to 1911s lately, but good to see commander size 22 conversions out there. I have a couple Ti commander frames that haven't been built yet, but I'd love to put .22's on them for the kids at some point in the future.

Sorry if I confused the issue... The Kimber conversion is 5". I was saying I run it on my Commander frame. I am not aware of any ~4" conversion kits.

. . . and a 5" .45 slide should run fine on a commander, too. Especially if it has a flgr just to make sure the spring doesn't get pinched.

AA makes a commander...

When they are in stock...
