Got one!
So, I now own a Browning 1911-22....
Learned a few things during its first disassembly and cleaning
1- I forgot about hammer bite, gonna have swap to a bobbed hammer eventually.
2- the guide rod is soft plastic, like a recoil absorber, gonna get spares
3- magazine takes some force to insert
4- browning mags cost as much as sig
5- need to get spare recoil springs, just cause.
6- I did read, no dry firing. any recommendation on decent snap caps?
7- is it ok to leave mags loaded? or just load up at the range. I know normal, but in my experience 22 mags are their own animal...
8- trigger breaks between 5 and 5.5lb. felt heavier, im guessing cause its skinny. happy with the pull.
Any other quirks I should be aware of? or spare parts I should grab? All guns have their quirks, I just don't like surprises. Been a long time since I owned a 1911.
