Troy - this one was the "NRA Gun of the Week" youtube.com/watch?v=oOXb9PyYkEo Rock Island Armory's XT 22 Magnum handgun exemplifies everything that's wonderful about a 1911...and omits everything that, well, isn't. The robust, reliable 1911 design is a favorite among gun enthusiasts everywhere, While 1911-style handguns tend to be a bit on the pricey side; they don't have the same capacity as other semi-automatics; and they can offer fairly sharp recoil. Rock Island's XT 22, on the other hand, retails for less, feeds from a double-stack magazine that offers a carrying capacity of 14 rounds, and is chambered in the .22 WMR, which offers virtually no felt recoil.
