Mauser 1911 22 LR Tan Walnut Overview
The 1911 has been an American favorite for more than a century. A 22 LR version is the cheapest way to practice on that classic grip angle, single action trigger and manual of arms, and it is a pleasure to shoot for long sessions.
1911 Manual of Arms
The thumb safety, grip safety, slide stop and magazine release sit where a 1911 owner expects them, so practice with this pistol carries straight over to a centerfire 1911. Sports South lists the controls as ambidextrous, which helps left handed shooters.
Aluminum Slide and Frame
The slide and frame are aluminum, which keeps weight down and suits the light recoil of 22 LR. Slide serrations give a good grip for loading and clearing. Many full size 1911 holsters will fit, but check fit before you carry it in a holster made for a steel gun.
Barrel and Accuracy
The 5 inch steel barrel gives a long sight radius for a handgun, which helps new shooters hit what they aim at. Expect good accuracy at 10 to 25 yards with ammunition the pistol likes.
Walnut Grips
Checkered walnut grip panels give the pistol a classic look and a secure hold. They are easy to swap for any standard 1911 style panel if you want a different feel later.
Why Shoot a Rimfire
A rimfire is the best tool there is for building skill. Low recoil and a quiet report let you focus on trigger control and follow through, and the low cost per round means you can practice often. Many experienced shooters keep a rimfire next to their centerfire guns for exactly that reason, and it is a great way to bring a new shooter into the sport.
Choosing Ammunition
Most rimfire semi-autos run best on high velocity round nose 22 LR, usually 36 to 40 grain loads. Try a few brands, because reliability and accuracy can change from one load to the next. Bulk packs keep practice cheap, which is the whole point of a rimfire.
Cleaning and Care
Rimfire ammunition burns dirty, so clean the breech face, chamber and extractor every few hundred rounds. A light coat of oil on moving parts is all most owners need. Store the pistol unloaded in a locked safe or case, with magazines and ammunition kept separate.
State Laws
Some states limit magazine capacity or certain features even on rimfire firearms. Check your state and local laws before you order. Pennsylvania buyers can transfer at our Collegeville shop or at any FFL.

Before You Buy
Federal law requires this pistol to ship to a licensed FFL dealer for transfer, and you must pass a background check. Rimfire 1911 pistols can be picky about magazines, so use magazines made for this Mauser model. Aluminum slides do not last as long as steel ones under heavy centerfire use, but with 22 LR that is rarely a concern. Our store title lists the color as FDE, and Sports South lists it as tan.
