Customer Reviews for Browning 1911-22 Black LBL 22 RAIL

The pistol is small in your hand, very light weight even when loaded. When using a suppressor the pistol is unbalanced. It’s reliable and the action is easy to work. Mic plinker. In my opinion if you’re going to make a pistol suppressor ready it needs to weigh little more to off set the suppressor.

got this gun for the express purpose of using my registered suppressor on it for some outdoor plinking. Gun is light weight, great balance and feels right in my hand. Great impressed with its overall look and will be taking it out this weekend to my range and put it to the test. Bud's delivered a nice weapon in a timely manner and that is appreciated.

The price of this little pistol is high considering the quality of the product. The frame looks and feels cheaply made. I have seen airsoft guns with a less pronounced mold parting line and a more solid feel to them than this $500 pistol. The slide has at least 1/16" of play between it and the frame. Accuracy down-range is reflective of this design fault. My wife and I were both nailing steel plates with a full-size 1911 (Remington R1 enhanced) but were all over the map with this little "replica". Magazines for this gun are over $20 a piece and it only came with one new. The magazine disconnect may be a trial-lawyer's doing but it's a horrible mechanism for a pistol. If this were a defensive pistol and not a plinker, the mag disconnect would make me rate it even lower than 3/5. A self-defense gun to having a mag disconnect is like a big-off switch for a bad-guy to take your gun out of the fight. This isn't a self-defense gun. It's a plinker and a pistol to introduce new shooters to the sport. With that in mind, the mag disconnect teaches them the wrong lesson. It teaches new shooters that guns stop working when you remove the magazine. So, when you give them a proper self-defense gun they've learned the wrong lesson; that the gun will be inoperable without a mag. That's a dangerous thing. Teach new shooters to be respectful of guns without the training-wheels on real ones. Out of ~ 200 rounds of Aguila, we had roughly 15 failures in this pistol. The failures varied from failure-to-feed to failure-to-fire and failure-to-eject. I plan to re-test with CCI minimags and am hoping for better results. Otherwise, this one is going up for sale or back to the factory. All in all, I was disappointed with this pistol. It is well below my expectations in fit, finish, reliability and accuracy.
