Customer Reviews for Walther Arms 1911 Colt Government A1 12 Rounds 22 Long Rifle Pistol

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.

Love.it. shoots.great

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.

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.

Awesome product for the money... Once again Bud's has outdone themselves... Thanks

I am highly satisfied with this weapon especially for training others. Very comfortable and accurate weapon.

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.

Shot 10 fouling shots,then 5 at 50’ using point of aim.Shots were 4” high and 3” left.Adjusted to the right and used 6:00 hold on 4” round swinger.Good windage now but still high.Using CCI std vel.At 25 yds hits are more centered with 6:00 hold.4”+ group. So I’d like to replace fixed rear sight with an adjustable rear sight.Any recommendations and what width dovetail? The grip safety takes some getting used to for dependable firing.No problems with feeding or misfires. Ammo testing is next step.

I have not been able to shoot it yet. But the feel of it and the workings are great.

Took a little while to arrive, approx. 10-12 days. No problem with my FFL. Went to range this morning and put 100 rds of cci 22lr through it. One jam but otherwise shot flawlessly. Beautiful pistol. Fun to shoot, was as accurate as it could be. Very cost effective for a range session. Well worth the price.

The gun is pleasing to the eye. I have had multiple people tell me that this firearm looks very attractive/appealing. After shooting and comparing to other 22lr that I have, the gun is good, but I do prefer other 22lr pistols that I own over this one. I do still take it with me to the range to plink with.

Bud's shipped my firearm right away. No hassles no out of stock excuses. FFL was friendly also and phone as soon as the firearm came in. Quite empressed with Bud's and will do business with Bud's again.

sweet shooting gun.. it is one of my favorites

I was looking for something in 22 long rifle caliber. When I came across this pistol. I couldn’t pass it up because of it's 1911 design and price. I compared it to my colt 1911 and it is so similar. I love the fact I can now shoot something that won’t cost as much to shoot. Thanks Buds!

super accuracy very well balanced excellent very happy

Lots of fun as this little thing really runs nicely

Excellent finish! A great shooter! Happy to have it in my 1911 collection.

Just ordered the Walther 1911 22LR can't wait to get my hands on it. I HAVE HEARD NOTHING BUT GOOD ON THIS FIRE ARM.

I put in and took out this gun from cart for the past couple of years. I should have bought it the first time. It is a blast to shoot and ran with no hiccups out the box using Remington golden bullets.

My new favorite pistol to shoot, I had to make it was actually firing because it was so smooth and no recoil what so ever. The gun didn't need anything but I added pearl handle grips and not only does it performs well it looks good. The only down side is whenever my wife goes with me the range, I can't get my Colt out of her hands.

Breaks down pretty much like my 1911a1 .45acp. A bit lighter than the .45. All functions match. I'm not a big rimfire fan, but now I can afford to shoot more drills with a 1911 to develop muscle memory, sight acquisition, and deployment. I've only shot 1 box of Winchester xx 40 grain, with no misfeeds of any kind. At 10 paces, it rings 4 & 6 inch steel pretty much every time. Sights easy to acquire, even for my old eyes. Would reccomend to a friend.

This is my favorite target shooter. Smooth, easy, loose 1911 action in .22 lr caliber. 👌
