Chiappa Firearms 401121 .22 LR 5" 11-Round OD Green 1911 Pistol

The Chiappa Firearms 401121 .22 LR 5" 10+1 OD Green 1911 Pistol represents a modern take on the iconic M1911 platform, scaled down to the highly practical .22 LR cartridge. This rimfire variant serves shooters who prioritize low-recoil training, cost-effective practice, or suppressed shooting without sacrificing the proven ergonomics and manual-of-arms familiarity of the 1911 design.

The OD Green finish delivers contemporary tactical aesthetics while maintaining the classic 1911 profile that law enforcement, military personnel, and civilian shooters have trusted for over a century. Built by Chiappa Firearms, an Italian manufacturer renowned for precision manufacturing and innovative platform variations, this model features a 5-inch barrel optimized for .22 LR ballistics and controllable sight radius. The blowback operation is straightforward and reliable, with user-accessible controls identical to centerfire 1911 variants.

At 3.1 pounds unloaded, the pistol delivers authentic 1911 weight distribution and handling characteristics without the punishing recoil of centerfire calibers—critical for shooters building fundamentals, practicing trigger control, or conducting extended training sessions. This platform excels for operators seeking inexpensive, high-volume ammunition training while maintaining fidelity to the classic 1911 design.
