There's a lot to like about a .22 that handles like the real thing, and the Browning 1911-22 Black Label Medallion 250 nails that feeling. Browning built this one as a purpose-designed rimfire, not a barrel conversion kit, scaled down to roughly 85% of John M. Browning's original 1911. The result is a pistol that points, balances, and operates just like a Commander-size 1911, only with the cheap ammo and gentle recoil that make a day at the range easy on your hand and your budget. It runs the single-action, straight-blowback action that's been a proven setup on this platform for years, and it field strips just like a full-size 1911.
This is the 2026 commemorative version marking 250 years since American independence, so it's dressed to celebrate. The rosewood-colored grips are laser engraved with a waving flag and "250 Years of Freedom," and the blackened stainless steel slide is set off with silver brushed and polished flats for a sharp two-tone look. Underneath the looks it's all business, with a composite frame riding on a machined aluminum subframe and slide rails for durability, plus a serrated slide for solid grip when you rack it.
The compact frame wears a 3.63-inch matte stainless barrel and tips the scale right around a pound, which makes it easy to carry and easy to shoot all afternoon. You get the controls you'd want on a 1911: an extended beavertail grip safety, a manual thumb safety, and the familiar single-action trigger. Steel three-dot combat sights are dovetailed into the slide for quick, clear aiming. It holds 10 rounds in the magazine for 10+1 total.
Like most rimfires, this little 1911 runs best on quality, full-power ammo. Reviewers and owners consistently report strong reliability with mainstream brands like CCI Mini-Mag, Federal, and Aguila, while subsonic and ultra-light target loads can be too soft to cycle the action. It also uses a magazine-disconnect safety, so it won't fire without the magazine seated, and Browning recommends against dry firing it. Whether you're training new shooters, working on 1911 fundamentals, or just plinking, this one earns its keep.
It's built to roughly 85% of the scale of John M. Browning's original 1911, so it's a bit smaller and lighter than a full-size gun. Unlike a lot of rimfire 1911s, it's a purpose-built .22 rather than a barrel conversion kit. You still get the same controls, balance, and manual of arms as a real 1911, which makes it a great trainer.
Like most .22 rimfire pistols, it prefers quality, full-power ammo to cycle reliably. Owners and reviewers consistently report good results with mainstream loads like CCI Mini-Mag, Federal, and Aguila. Steer clear of subsonic, ultra-quiet, or extra-light target rounds, since those often don't have enough oomph to work the action.
Yes. It comes with an extended beavertail grip safety along with a manual thumb safety, just like you'd expect on a 1911. It also includes a magazine-disconnect safety, which means it won't fire without the magazine inserted.
This is the 2026 commemorative edition celebrating 250 years of American independence. It features rosewood-colored grips laser engraved with a waving flag and "250 Years of Freedom," plus a blackened stainless slide with brushed silver polished flats. Mechanically it's the same proven 1911-22 platform, just with special commemorative styling.
It's plenty accurate for its purpose. With good ammo, testers have reported groups in the 2-inch range out to 20 to 25 yards, which is solid for a fun gun and a 1911 trainer. It's not built as a dedicated bullseye competition pistol, but it'll hold its own on steel and paper.
Browning recommends against dry firing it, which is standard advice for most rimfire pistols. Dry firing a .22 can let the firing pin strike the chamber edge and cause damage over time. If you want to practice trigger work, use snap caps designed for rimfire.
