Browning 1911-22 A1
Best rimfire pistol for target shooters seeking classic 1911 styling.
This rimfire pistol shrinks the legendary 1911 platform down to a manageable, lightweight scale without sacrificing the classic aesthetic. It trades the heavy recoil of a full-sized caliber for an incredibly fun, accessible shooting experience that feels just as substantial in the hand as its larger counterparts.
