Shhhhhh... Suppressors are rapidly gaining popularity with shooters of all kinds. Ear plugs aren't really built for kids, and muffs over safety glasses are often uncomfortable for kids to wear. Also, being able to communicate at a normal conversation makes shooting more safe and enjoyable. This firearm comes suppressor ready with a threaded barrel (1/2-28 threads per inch) Black Label Style. Built with a high-strength, compact, and lightweight polymer frame, this model also wears post-modern angled serrated G-10 grips which look amazing but also provide outstanding traction between your hand and the gun, even when wet. You'll appreciate the three-dot combat sights as well; durable and highly visible for quick target acquisition. The skeletonized trigger and commander hammer provide a custom look and feel, and compliment the beavertail grip safety and extended ambidextrous thumb safety. The 1913 Picatinny rail on the dust cover is placed for the addition of a light or laser aiming device, rounding out all the features you would expect from a custom 1911, but available in a factory gun. Not just another barrel conversion gun. Built to 85% of the scale of the original model 1911, Browning has engineered the 1911-22 to be purpose designed for a unique purpose as a rimfire handgun instead of yet another barrel conversion kit gun. Pick one up, admire it, and then buy one - you won't regret it.
