I owned a Uramex Colt 1911-22 ... sold it after a short while. Looked like a 1911 ... didn't run like one. Never had an issue with it ... was just disappointed.

I have a certain expectation when I swaddle a 1911 in my hand and that just wasn't it.

Two observations ...

the hoopla over a 22/45 being a PITA are grossly exagerated. While no Lego gun, it certainly isn't a shelf unit from Ikea either. All the little holes, levers and pins have to line up just right and boom its together, not unlike a 1911 and not making an idiot scratch.

and the best 22 shooter I own is an M&P 22. That is a hoot to shoot.
