looking at the 1911 22lr pistol for target shooting any thoughts? im also looking at the ruger 22/45 it has the 1911 grip for the feel of the 45 but the look of the classic ruger
Do you already have a 1911 that you can buy a coversion for? Or would the 1911 be a total new gun? For nothing more than hunting paper I'd go with the ruger, if your planing on paying the price of the ruger for the 1911. Hard to out shoot the ruger in that price range.
im looking at the 22lr for plinking and leave around house for extra protection also like the feel and look of the 1911 which is why i like the ruger 22/45 it has the 1911 grip and feel just in 22lr. found it locally for 279.00
Here's another vote for the Ruger. Fairly accurate out of the box and trigger work only runs about $100 if you want a smoother pull. $279 is about right with sales sometimes going down to $250.
Years ago I just had to have a Colt Ace when I shot a lot of competition. Wanted it for cheaper practice. It would only shoot pretty good using Eley 10X, not cheap.
After awhile I lost interest in my factory Ace and sold it. If I had to buy a targetish .22 it would be a good Ruger (not all are) or a CT made High Standard.
