New Browning Polymer 1911 .22lr

Browning is teasing us with a photo of the soon-to-be polymer 1911 in .22lr (but where will we find ammo?).

I thought INGO may want a looksee.

Looks
rather yellow in color. Weird.

It's a 22 so I guess it's OK.

Nothing wrong with yellow guns.

My nephew's yellow 1911 in .22.

Never have been a fan of the green/brown/yellow or any color polymer guns other than black. I don't really even care for polymer in general. It just feels cheap. I've owned a couple and they were fine guns but, it just doesn't feel as nice as metal.

Might be cheaper to shoot .45.

I wonder if this will be sized like those 80% size metal framed models they have. I don't see the benefit in a 22 trainer version of a carry gun, when they change something like overall size, etc.

Maybe Browning will market it with 5,000 free rds of 22lr. Just maybe.

I briefly held one of these Friday at my LGS. I actually did not realize it was polymer. Price was $20-30 less than the metal.

Seriously, are they coming out with a tan aluminum frame as well. I mean I held this thing by the trigger guard pinched between my fingers and it felt like metal.

I sense John Moses Browning spinning in his grave.

Really? A plastic Browning?

Blasphemy.

Why would he spin, Mg?

JMB was a brilliant engineer. Would he not welcome breakthroughs in cheaper, lighter and stronger?
