Colt .22LR 1911

I like the original. It looks and feels--- like the old Army gun. Pete

Yeah....

That sure is pretty.

I see that Colt has a 22lr version of the 1911 pistol available. Plain or with a rail. Too bad we'll never see them for sale here in California.

The Colt .22 Ace has been around for decades. I would sell you mine but is has been sold.

I'd love an Ace, trying to get a decent sized 22 LR revolver right now. But after that I'd really like to have a 1911 style 22LR; are any new one's legal in CA or do they have to pre exist?

The Chiappia is so darn cheap I'm willing to give it a try, but will need to find a single shot willing FFL as its not a CA list gun either. There is a gun tuning place that works on that gun specificially in terms of triggler weight, accuracy, etc.....All together it'd be about $500. It'd be nicer if we could buy a Colt Match/Target type that already had all that and the brand name to go with it.

I have a 1978 era Colt Service Model Ace. And a Marvel Precision Unit 1.

While aesthetically the Ace wins, the Marvel outclasses it in accuracy and reliability. Interestingly they both use the same magazine.
