The Browning 1911-22 Black Label Medallion 250 is a faithful, scaled-down take on John M. Browning's legendary 1911, built at roughly 85 percent of the original size and chambered in .22 LR. This isn't a centerfire gun with a conversion kit slapped on it. Browning engineered it from the ground up as a rimfire, which means the proportions, controls, and feel all track close to a Commander-size 1911 while the smaller frame and light weight keep it comfortable for a wide range of hand sizes. It runs a simple, reliable straight blowback action instead of the tilting barrel of the centerfire original, and feeds from a solid steel 10-round magazine for 10+1 capacity.
This is a dressed-up commemorative edition tied to the 250 Years of Freedom theme, and the Medallion treatment is where it earns its name. You get an aluminum alloy frame, a machined aluminum slide, and handsome checkered grips with decorative inlay work that give it a presentation-grade look. The 4.25-inch barrel matches the length found on a Commander, with serrations on the slide for a positive grip when you rack it.
If you already shoot a full-size 1911, this one will feel instantly familiar. The grip safety, manual thumb safety, slide stop, and magazine release all sit and operate where you expect them. An extended beavertail grip safety helps keep the web of your hand out of the way of the hammer, and the skeletonized hammer and trigger give it that custom 1911 vibe along with three-dot sights for quick aiming. Field stripping follows the same routine as a standard 1911, so disassembly and cleaning are straightforward.
The 1911-22 fills a clear role. It's a low-cost way to drill 1911 fundamentals like grip, sight alignment, and trigger control without burning through pricey centerfire ammo, and it's just plain enjoyable for casual range days and small-game plinking. Like most rimfires, it runs best on quality, mainstream .22 LR ammo and prefers standard or high-velocity loads over the quietest subsonic stuff. Browning also notes you should avoid dry firing it, as is typical with rimfire pistols.
It's a purpose-built rimfire, not a centerfire 1911 with a conversion kit added on. Browning scaled the whole pistol to about 85 percent of a full-size 1911 specifically for the .22 LR cartridge. That's why the proportions and balance feel right rather than oversized for a rimfire.
Yes. The grip safety, thumb safety, slide stop, and magazine release operate just like a standard 1911, and it field strips the same way. The main difference is the smaller scale and lighter weight, so it points and handles like a scaled-down Commander.
Being a blowback rimfire, it likes quality, mainstream .22 LR in standard or high-velocity loads for consistent cycling. Very low-velocity subsonic or quiet loads may not always cycle the action reliably. It's worth trying a couple of brands to find what your particular gun likes best.
The Medallion 250 is a dressed-up commemorative edition tied to the 250 Years of Freedom theme. It carries upgraded grips with decorative inlay, an aluminum alloy frame, a machined aluminum slide, three-dot sights, and a skeletonized hammer and trigger. It's built to be a step above the base models in both looks and feel.
Browning advises against dry firing it, which is standard guidance for most rimfire pistols. If you want to practice trigger control without live ammo, use snap caps designed for .22 LR. This helps protect the firing pin and chamber over the long haul.
The 1911-22 uses a solid steel 10-round magazine for a 10+1 capacity. One magazine ships with the pistol from the factory. Spare magazines are a smart add since they speed up range sessions.
