Has anyone got any experience with the Chiappa 1911? I'm looking for a nice plinker semi-auto pistol now and this seems like a decent gun. I've looked at the Sig Misquito and the P22 but they both have issues with jamming I guess. I like the ISSC M22 and the S&W 22 as well but they are both single action only. So the Chiappa is looking good. Anyone have one or shot one? Quality? Thanks for the help.

Yes, have one, shot it a bunch. Shoots Walmart el cheapo stuff with a hiccup here or there. For what I got in mine, not a bad little plinker.

Re: Chiappa 1911 22lr
nothing more than shot is a couple thousand times already. Its not a Kimber or anything like that, trust me, but if you like the feel of it, looks, etc, the functioning, at least with mine, is better than I thought I would get out of a $200+ pistol.

Re: Chiappa 1911 22lr
Its actually fairly crappy quality.
If i wanted a 1911 in 22, i'd get a GSG 1911

Re: Chiappa 1911 22lr
Oh yeah I forgot about that GSG/ATI 1911! Are they hard to find? When I looked up the Chiappa it seemed like more people went that way since the GSG was hard to find. I only saw it online at midwest hunters outlet. Never purchased a gun online. It does look better than the Chiappa.
:edit: Found a few on gunbroker but not sure how that site really works.

Re: Chiappa 1911 22lr
One reason I am eyeing the GSG 1911's is that the barrel comes pre-threaded.
The only caveat is that the threads are metric. But there are adapters for sale at a multitude of places, for around 35 bucks.
Short of a threaded ceiner kit on a 1911, it doesnt get much better.

Yeah I noticed the threaded barrel. Didn't realize it was metric but oh well. Won't be getting a can for a little while anyway. Looked at the ATI site again and found a few dealers near me. Going to go over and check what they have this week. Hopefully they can get me something soon.

so most likely you can pick up whatever 1911 grips you want </div></div>
Awesome. Thanks for being so helpful. Can't wait to buy this thing.

Re: Chiappa 1911 22lr
I went to impact guns main store in odgen today, during my lunch hour.
I was wrapping up my Form 4 paperwork for my silencers when i noticed they had one in the case.
I felt it, and i liked the heft it had. It felt real, the controls all worked, and the sights where nice. The mag feel solid (like i could actually drop it on the concrete floor and not worry about breaking something, and the slide racked effortlessly. For the money, i dont know why people buy mosquito's/walther p22's.
This gun bumped up before my sig p220, on my *to buy list*

Re: Chiappa 1911 22lr
Just got one of the GSG 1911's a week and a half ago, mine has different grips on it that this pistol, and it is a great plinker for the money. (FYI I paid $350 including tax)

Re: Chiappa 1911 22lr
What kind of accuracy does this gun get? How would it compare to a Ruger MKIII? Thanks.

I have bought off of G.B and it went smoothly.. Just make sure you and the person you are buying from have clear communication.

Re: Chiappa 1911 22lr
Forgot i made this thread ha. I ended up buying a GSG a few weeks ago off G.B. Experience on G.B. was great and started a new relationship with my local FFL which I like since he can get me a deal on my next gun ha. GSG is awesome. Very nice feel and a great shot. New grip on and waiting to duracoat.
