Accuracy from the 1911 .22's ????
8/21/2011 1:56:17 AM
I shoot at a gun club.
We use rimfire handguns at 25 and 50 yards.
I currently use a Ruger MKI, Model T512.
This is the 5 1/2" Bull Barrel model.
Using the iron sights, I shoot very well and competatively with it.
I am thinking about purchaseing one of these new 1911 style .22's.
I would like to know what accuracy people are getting at 25 and 50 yards.
Thanks
Good Shootin!!

The only real competitive .22 conversions would be the Marvel, the Marvel, or the Marvel.
The "dedicated" .22 1911s (GSG, Sig, etc) are all plinkers.

Pretty much this. I do have a Colt ACE set up but that is far from a stock setup and it's on a Caspian frame with accurails. The Marvels are very nice.

What about the Marvel? Have you considered the Marvel?

The accuracy has always seemed good with my Kimber Rimfire Target pistol, but I rarely use it these days.

The Marvel is sweet with a price to match... Thanks for the info.

Pfffff...a fool and his money. Marvel is where it's at.

Makes me look good when I shoot it.

I've got the scope mount version, very accurate.

You must make certain that the barrel screw is tight or accuracy will go straight to hell, every time. I have noticed that mine will shoot loose in ~300 or so rounds. A quick turn on the allen wrench (go easy or you can break/strip the screwhead, & replacements can be problematic) and it's back to being consistant again. Unfortunately, there is a bit of play between the barrel and slide and this can affect the POI vs POA. If the screw is checked & tightened periodicaly, before it gets too loose and allows the barrel to move, then I find the accuracy & consistancy quite good out of mine.
Bit of a PITA, but just something to know about these pistols.

Don't crank down on this screw and strip it out!

as others have said the new crop of 1911-22's are not designed as or capable of being used as true target guns. They are not bullseye accurate for regular bullseye shooting at 50 yards. you might get by at 50 feet (gallery ) or 25 yard distances but they won't hold up at 50.

I was thinking more for the plate matches. 8 inch plates at about 11 yards... My son likes the 1911, so I was leaning towards the Sig or GSG. For the amount of money he has to spend right now.

The accuracy I got out of my Kimber Rimfire Target was pretty good. I shot it quite a bit at 25 yards and held my own against the Ruger crowd. However, I couldn't get it to reliably feed any 22lr ammo, and I tried almost everything available. I sold it and still haven't decided on my next 22 handgun, because that one left such a bad taste in my mouth.

I have a Colt conversion that is every bid as accurate and reliable as my MKII target. So much so I had a Caspian lower built for the conversion and don't shoot the Ruger much anymore.

If your looking for accuracy then you have numerous options. As some have mentioned you could get a Marvel with it's sub-1 inch at 50 yd guarantee or you could select instead a Marvel. Or as an alternate just get a Marvel. Any will work great for your purpose. :)

This is what I've been playing with lately, I finally got some more real Colt ACE mags, they are a PITA to find.
Accurized ACE slide, Caspian frame, accurails, nice trigger [bit more creep then I like, have to play with it a bit] and a few other doodads.

My Kimber conversion works great and accuracy it good too. I need a dedicated lower for it now .
12/15/2011 1:38:54 PM
Also pricey...but exceptionally accurate is the Tactical Solutions conversion kit. I couldn't believe how accurate THIS SYSTEM was!
12/24/2011 4:51:44 PM
i can tell you with the utmost confdence that my chiappa is not what your looking for.

Hijack.
Well my bud got a rimfire deuling tree to go with his other bigger one, neither one of us have 22's. I was strongly looking at the Sig 1911 22, since There might be a time in the future I get my self a 1911, having a pair would be great. All I shoot now is my carry Glock 27. Would the Sig hold its own on a deuling tree to 25 yrds how about 50? I've shoot a few ruger 22's and one Kimber 1911 22, it (the kimber)was very nice, and allowed for faster mag changes. Would a 1911 be recommended for its accuracy potential in this situation? To be honest we will do most of our shooting inside 10 yards i bet..
This is the Deuling tree

My Advantage Arms standard kit on my RIA frame would smoke on the dueling tree. My AA kit is way more accurate than me but for real serious work I'd buy an AA target version which is a copy of the Marvel or bite the Bullet and buy a true Marvel. From what I've read a true Marvel I conversion will hold its own again S&W model 41 target pistols.

I purchased one of those 1911/22 pistols made by Chiappa ....It is no John Browning super design but is very accurate and not very expensice...The trigger pull was in my estimation, horrible but I did a nono and reshaped the sear spring, broke one, Chiappa sent me 2 free and I bent one of the new springs to obtain perhaps a 2-3# pull. This of course violates the warranty but it is now a very accurate shooter. I would not suggest just anyone do this modification, and leave it to a gunsmiith....I am qualified for my own firearms..
