We are pleased that you have chosen a Browning 1911-22. The
Browning 1911-22 traces its heritage to possibly the most famous
handgun ever built, John M. Browning’s storied Model 1911. Similar in
construction to the Model 1911, the Browning 1911-22 is smaller in
size and lighter in weight to better fit the needs of all shooters.
With a reasonable amount of care, your Browning 1911-22 should give
you many years of dependable, enjoyable service.
