Just introduced by Chiappa Firearms at the 2023 edition of SHOT Show, the Chiappa Firearms 1911-22 Tactical Grey .22 Long Rifle semi-automatic pistol represents the latest iteration of the line of rimfire clones of America’s most quintessential handgun, which the well-known Italian company has been marketing worldwide with great success in various versions ever since 2009.

 

This blowback-operated single-action pistol is an almost identical replica of so many tactical 1911-type .45 ACP designs, and is perfect for low-cost training, for plinking, and as a “first pistol” to introduce the youngest generations to the basics of marksmanship and safe firearms handling; the new model features a captivating tactical grey Mystikote finish – a thin layer applied to all outer metal components, offering superior corrosion against scratching, heat, corrosion, chemicals, and other aggressive elements.
