Customer Reviews for Walther Arms 1911 GOVERNMENT TRIBUTE GOLD CUP .22 LR 5" 12+1 R

Los of compliments on this gun, I'm happy I got it

Lightweight, exactly as advertised, runs smoothly as possible. Love this over the GSG

This is a sweet little pistol. In your hand it feels like a full size 1911. It is a great trainer. Fit and finish was excellent. I haven't had a failure to feed, failure to fire, or failure to eject. It has cycled with every load I have tried in it. Trigger was a little gritty at first, but has smoothed out nicely with use. I did change out the grips. I prefer the Hogue wrap around grips on my 1911 style pistols. Grab one of these when you can. You won't regret it. Dealing with Bud's was great as usual. Accuracy is very good with all loads.

Works as advertised. Shoots great. Got the usual quick service from Buds. If your interested in a 45 clone of the Gold Cup this will do.

Quality 1911 A1 in 22lr. I personally have shot this pistol with 1000's of rounds with no malfunctions of any kind. My grandson and daughter loved it at a range day. So I bought Jayden one for his graduation. He has a few more years till 21. If you can afford one and can get it, Get it! Thank you buds for a square deal and hassle free transaction as usual.

Great gun but only comes with one mag. Extra mags at about $40 each. Also seems to only like the high velocity CCI. The standard velocity stuff has a FTF about every 5 rounds.

Looks and feels like a 45 1911.. Trigger pull is acceptable for this price range,,, a little heavy but smooth and no sloppy movement. Having an issue with the safety and the pin that holds it. When I engage the safety it goes up and lets the little pin slide underneath it and the safety will not come down without depressing the pin with a knife.. I like the gun and I will continue playing with the safety issue.

Decent for the price. Not 100% what I expected, due to the solid attached barrel construction, but I don't see that interfering with it's operation.
The barrel comes threaded with an M8x.75 thread and a thread protector. There are numerous adapters online, that are inexpensive, if you want to add 'something' to the front.
Getting the thread protector off was challenging, to say the least. It's got 10mm slots and the wrench that comes with it wasn't strong enough to unscrew it. Walther, sent me a new, sturdier wrench for free, but I couldn't wait, and ground down a cheap 10mm wrench I had in my tool box and removed it before the new wrench arrived.
I really appreciated the Target Sights.
The magazine (you only get one) has a thumb loader, but it felt kind of rough. I bought another aftermarket mag for it and it was the same way. A quick disassemble of the mag, some light smoothing of the stamped slide slot made it much better. Spare mags are sort of pricey for being a .22LR.
I give it 4 out of 5 stars, because of the mag (1 instead of 2), how 'gritty' the mags felt, the trouble with the thread protector, and the swaged barrel, instead of removable, like a real 1911.
All in all.....a good gun at a very reasonable price. Good Value. And the frame fits all my 'real' 1911 holsters perfectly.

This pistol is an absolute joy to shoot. I’ve put 500 rounds through this pistol thus far, no jams or any other issues. As with my other 22lr pistols I use CCI Mini Mag ammunition. Remington golden bullet is good too. I’ve found regardless of the 22 pistol, the bargain ammunition fouls the barrel much worse. I highly recommend this Walther Colt tribute gun. Also as a note, it’s made in Germany.

well I went to my ffl dealer today to pick up my colt gold cup 22. I really like it. the only thing I can say and this is nit picking. I wish it had something on the other side of the slide. like the side where it says gold cup. other side says nothing. now I plan on using it this week end. Im thinking of buying the other colt and have a pair. the grips feel so good. and the balance is good also. this was a good buy.

I am very happy with Walther Colt Gold Cup 22.It shot well with a variety of 22 ammo and accuracy was good.Great service and fast shipping from Buds. Will use them again.

Love it. Great plinker. 300 rounds, 2 failures 2 feed with modded 15 round mags.

THIS PISTOL IS A VERY GOOD PRODUCT. AND I AM VERY HAPPY WHITH MY PISTOL.

A few weeks ago you sent me an email stating you wanted to buy my Colt. I hope it wasn't the one I just bought from you, The same one I just got back from Walther Arms because it needed to be fixed. Any other Colt firearm you may think I have was lost in a boating accident. Other than that, I'm very happy with my purchase. Now if I can only find some ammo.

feel and weight are balanced

I shot this firearm in competition. I shot about 200 rounds using CCI Mini Mags. It was clean and oiled and functioned perfectly.

amazing gun for the price you can't ask for more I recommend it 100% I made some adjustments to the trigger and at 15 yards it's xxx it's my first purchase from buds thanks the gun arrived as described, grateful to do business with you thanks !!!

This was my first purchase from Bud's. The Colt 191122 LR arrived quickly and was exactly as described. This a great starter hand gun and also a much lower cost way to spend time at the range.

Well built and a great value

I got my gun after waiting longer than I thought. I have been a Buds customer for several years and have bought more fire arms from you than any one else. It arrived at my FFL and was a great experience with them. The gun was in perfect condition and I have only fired one round in it and it was 30 + year old white box 22 amo. It will be taken to the range shortly and have a good break in. I like the gun and I don’t expect any problems and hope I am right.

This weapon is awesome. Accurate, easy on the wallet and great to practice with instead of my other 1911 series pistols. Bought one for my son and a friend.

I would like to thank you for our first online gun purchase. The 1911 22lr from Walther preforms better all the time. Only 300 rounds so far but a great feeling good shooting pistol. I know you have heard it before it needs a spare clip. Other than that no complaints. Thanks again and you will hear from us soon .I need the sdx escort 12 gauge.
Thank you

It is beautiful and very accurate pistol, after 1,000 rounds through this I had only a few ejection problems, I will attribute that to faulty cartridges. However, I am very disappointed with the magazines which are difficult to find, and very difficult to load because of a very flat button which is not easy to move while loading the cartridges.

Purchased the Walther 1911 22cal pistol about 2 weeks ago From BUDS. The purchasing experience from BUDS was very good. The process to my FFL went through without a hitch. I am also very happy with the product. So far I have run about 300 rounds through the gun without a single issue. I have mixed up the ammo between Winchester, CCI, and some Aguila. This handgun worked with all of the without issue.
