Default Browning 1911A1-22

So a couple of weeks ago we were at our LGS and he had a Browning 1911 in .22 but this is 85% of a standard size 1911. My wife really liked it so I was by there this morning he still had it and I bought it. I think we'll go shoot it next week.

Great grab! Browning is really moving into the 1911 market now; with a full size, Commander size (brand new) and the 22.

One of my LGS' has one, but the $600 price tag is a tad high for a 22.

Hope you like yours!

Ell, I paid $519 for this. I agree it's still high but wifey liked it and thought it'd buy me star points!

Ron, I've only been married 20 years, but I think the most important lesson I've learned is that if my wife is happy, she's going to try to make me happy.

I'll go to extremes to make sure she's happy.

$519 does not seem like too big a price to pay.

Tom
