folks I like the looks of the new Browning 1911-22 Have any of you seen one yet? I just gotta have one of them (if the price is right)

If it shoot as good as the Buckmark it will be great.

If the price is right is the kicker. They look good but will undoubtedly be expensive. As the song says, "How bad do ya want it"?

MSRP is $600 according to the Browning website. That's for an alloy frame and slide gun! I belive I'll keep my LLama and pass on the Browning.

Don't know why they scaled the thing down. But I still want at least one. What else is new. I want one of everything.

 

Meanwhile my Chiappa 22 is great. And I hear great things about the GSG and the Colt Ace (made by who? not Colt I know, is it Umarex?).

Lone Dog: My Colt Ace was made by Colt. It would make you cry if I told you what I paid for it (new) about 40 years ago. And no....it is not for sale. I think I fired it ten times and it looks like new. I never used it for the Bulls Eye .22 caliber matches. My High Standard Victor and my Smith model 41 were more accurate in my opinion.

I have held our sales rep's sample and took it apart. Looks just like a scaled down 1911. Our store is expecting about a dozen as soon as delivery commences. As far as I know none have been sent to retail outlets yet. I'll have to have one just because. :)

GD, yes the old Ace was made by Colt I know but that was then and this is now. Does anyone know who makes the new Ace and where? Might just be a re-badged GSG?

 

I bet the new one doesn't have the floating chamber either.

LD, the Colt 1911-22 is licensed by Colt & sold by Umarex, but is manufactured in Germany by Walther. It is not called the Ace.

It comes in 3 models, the 1911 (mil spec), the 1911 Gold Cup & the 1911 Rail Gun. MSRP varies from $399 to $499 depending upon the model. Actual gun shop prices should be somewhat less.
