Browning 1911-22 Composite (Polymer Frame)
Published: October 31st, 2013
Browning sent out this teaser image of their upcoming 1911-22 Composite pistol. The Composite model, which features a polymer frame, will be offered alongside the standard aluminum-frame models. The new polymer version will weigh a couple of ounces less and have a tan color scheme.
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

Who makes this pistol for them? http://en.wikipedia.org/wik... Since Umarex took over Walther in 1993, well, I think the P22 and the PPQ http://www.waltherarms.com/ (if it works) speak volumes of awful. Pot metal and plastic. I own a P22, long on ergonomics and short on quality. When the front sight walked away I called S&W I mentioned P22 and the operator offered me a pre-paid box. Then I suspect, an automated system sent me a new front sight in 3 days. I wonder if current Walther Service is as good. Geoff Who is underwhelmed by overpriced Hi-point competitors. Posting as guest because Dingus doesn't work.
This is a version of the 85% sized, aluminum frame Browning, it has no relationship with the Umirex or GSG full size "zinc" 1911 branded by various manufacturers, Colt/Walther/etc.
Still waiting for a mod to 9mm.
