can these sights be replaced by other types

Hi Doug and welcome. Yes Sir. Dawson Precision has a nice set : https://dawsonprecision.com/copy-of-dawson-precision-colt-1911-22-mil-spec-fixed-carry-sight-set-black-rear-fiber-optic-front/ - Cheers and stay safe!

Most definitely!! Here's a link to some available at @Mazon. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=walther+p22+sights&crid=3BH27A5MVFSS8&sprefix=walther+p22+sights%2Caps%2C123&ref=nb_sb_noss_1

any one know of an adjutable rear sight that will fit on this gun ? thx

This uses Novak style sights. Unfortunately buds doesn't have any adjustable ones in stock. Just Google adjustable Novak sights and any of those will work. I'd recommend scrolling down to the fourth website called Brownells, they have plenty to choose from. Hope this helps.

Doug, I would contact Dawson Precision at (866) 300-1911 for a Rear Sight recommendation. --- https://dawsonprecision.com/gun-sights/

Does anyone know if the rear sight can be swapped out for an adjustable sight ?

Doug, yes Sir it can. This pistol has a Removable and drift adjustable front sight and Drift adjustable rear sight. The rear sight is replaceable. Cheers and stay safe!

What does this little beast weigh ??

This model weights 32oz's or exactly 2 pounds according to the Walther website. Hope this helps.

Roger, If you purchase a Walther firearm, it carries its Legendary Warranty regardless of whether or not you are the original purchaser. I would however confirm this directly with Walther Customer Service at 479-242-8500 Ext 507

Please select a best answer. Also please note that the 1st answers given are at the bottom of the thread.. You can select more than one best answer by opening the question in multiple windows/tabs (before selecting best answer) then selecting a different answer in each window/tab

This is the Colt Government Tribute, a detailed replica of the iconic Colt M1911A1 made under license from Colt by Walther. In fact, it is the only fully-licensed replica of the M1911A1 on the market. Unlike the original, however, this extremely-faithful reproduction is chambered in economical 22 long rifle. Controls are identical to the original, and this pistol features all-metal construction, a 5-inch barrel, fixed sights, a thumb & grip safety, and a 12-round magazine.

This item does have a threaded barrel.

This is my new favorite pistol. With .22 LR I can stay at the range for hours and not really put a dent my wallet. The 1911 itself is one of my favorite models, and this thing shoots like a laser beam. Almost no recoil whatsoever, and tall iron sights with the longer barrel size than most pistols makes it easier to get on target.

Great shooting 22 Lr pistol. Ran several brands of 22 Lr ammunition through this pistol and the ony brand it had issues with was Winchester bulk ammunition, besides that great 1911 in 22 Lr. Only cons is finding 12 rd mags in stock. Could find 10 rd mags not a problem. This pistol is very accurate and would recommend to any 1911 collector. Buds as always was great with shipping and beat price point even in the economy we are in.

With the cost of everything going up it just made sense to get a 1911 in 22 LR. Man does this gun feel great. It has the softest slide release I’ve had in a pistol. I had to buy another one because the price was great and I really loved the quality, fit, and feel.

Curtis M on 03/18/2024

This pistol shoots good, looks good, and functions exactly like a Colt 1911. Only problem I’ve found with mine is that the slide don’t remain all the way to the rear after the last shot is fired. Since it’s not all the way back the magazine will not fall out when mag release is pushed in. If you force the mag out then the slide releases and goes forward. I bought another magazine hoping that was the problem but it does the same. With this problem, I’m not sure I would recommend it to a friend.

Nice gun. Smooth action and precise patterns. Easy racking and grip is properly contoured with beavertail that protects your hand from the motion of the slide. A pleasure to shoot and the weight and 5” barrel makes it a good target plinker.

I purchased the Colt Walther 1911 .22lr about the first of February online. It took about 10 days to come to an FFL dealer for me to pick it up. It takes time for Echecks to clear and ship to my FFL dealer. I took it home, read through the manual, and then fired it for the first. I bought it because of the Colt and Walther names on it and also being made in Germany. It is extremely well made, operates perfectly, and is fun and cheap to shoot. The price was very good and I encourage anyone looking into it to make the purchase. Ted

Highly recommend buds great to deal with. Also recommend the Walther 1911. Feels just like the 1911 I carried in the military. Have shot 50 rounds through it so far, no issues. Good value.
