Chiappa 1911-22 OD Green 22 Long Rifle Pistol - Stainless/Silver, 5" Barrel, 10 Rounds, Rubber Grips

This is the second Chiappa 1911-22 that I have purchased, the first from Buds in Lexington and this one from Buds online. First I'll say that they are exactly as a true 1911 45 as far as weight and features with the exception of the added locking safety device which is proprietary to Chiappa.(NOTE, IF YOU LOCK THAT SAFETY DEVICE TRY NOT TO LOST THE 2 PRONG KEY, OR YOU MIGHT HAVE TO FIND SOMETHING ELSE THAT WILL UNLOCK IT) I strongly suggest that you follow the Chiappa instructions on ammo use! Use quality, high velocity (1200 plus feet per second) and also try and use copper plated / coated 22 ammo since the lead nose will more easily and quickly foul the weapon, clean it often! I had an issue with the first 1911-22 after the first range time, though using good quality ammo, sometimes there were FTF problems and when I had my nephew at the range I noticed that often, the weapon would not lock back after the last round and this of course being a rim fire 22, that failure leads to dry fires. I sent it back to Chiappa through Buds and it was repaired, firing pin was shot along with a few springs due to the dry fire on failure to lock back on last. This one is basically Army type Green but not Cerakote, more of a paint coating, doesn't look bad and the grip is a Hogue, rubber wrap around with finger grips, I love that! Being more aware of the previous problems, I tend to actually count my fired rounds to insure no dry firing and when stored, I always have a clip with "snap caps" in the gun. Takedown is same as any 1911. It's a fun plinker and for sure less expensive than a 45 but with all the heft for practice.

Completely satisfied with purchase, love it & haven’t had any issues with it! Customer service has always been great as well

I purchased the Chiappa 1911 .22 LR from Buds and I couldn't be happier. It feels great in the hand and shoots excellent and accurate. The only problem i had was finding the right ammo. I found out mine has to have CCI Blazer Brass 40 gr. No problems since!!! Great buy, I do recommend!!!!

Nice gun for the money...thank you

Great gun especially for the price. I have put 300 rounds of cheap ammo through it without any issues. It would be nice if the clip capacity was more but at least it came with 2. Great product from Buds.

Seems decent, haven’t shot it yet but the photo shown here is a stock photo. The gun is solid green not 2 tone with black rubber grips instead of wood. The finish on the firearm isn’t the greatest already had some scuffs on it when I picked it up. For the rprice I paid for the gun I am satisfied though. Bought just for the range and can’t wait to try it out.
