[QUOTE="tinfinger, post: 1085275, member: 4386"] Chiappa is supposed to have a 1911 in 22lr; the company reputation is mixed so you would probably want to research that. USFA may or may not be making a 1911 in 22lr; if so it is probably nice and expensive. If you are wanting the 1911 platform to fit your holsters, etc. then a conversion may be the only economical way to go at this point (Kimber no longer offering a dedicated 1911 22lr). I had a Marvel Unit 2, and it worked OK -- acually shot well -- but among other things the lack of a slide hold-open bugged me. And if you are seeking a 1911 training experience, you probably should have that hold open feature. If you are not absolutely wedded to the 1911, any good quality 22lr pistol would offer basic shooting practice. The Ruger and the Buckmark are the standards of the class, and of course Ruger offers the 22/45 with a 1911-type grip and approximate safety. [/QUOTE]
