4.5 inch bull barrel, 10 round magazine, same basic grip angle as the 1911al government model

Not real pretty but works well. accurate right out of the box

Overall a great little pistol. Accurate for yard pests and good for training at a low cost. I looked at alot of .22 lr pistols before buying this one. I recommend it to anyone who wants a good trainer at a good price. Accuracy was a deciding factor along with cost. Used but in great shape, I brought it home for $225.00 out the door.
Anyone who has fired this .22 will eather love it or hate it. but for the price, I think I came out ahead and spare magazine run around 25.00, less on some sights. It fits nicely in most of my 1911, holsters.
The only problem I see is that the magazines don't drop free but that can be a plus in the field.
