|  Bit The Bullet On A 1911-22
Been thinking on one for a long time & looked at a Chiappa Citadel Tactical at my locals this mourning - First time i've seen this particular model & decided to give it a try 
VERY impressed 
Came with THREE mags & a very cool soft range bag with hearing protection, safety glasses, cleaning stuff & a BEER HOLDER built in HAD TO HAVE IT!!
Was VERY VERY impressed when i got home & shot it! Love the set of fiber optics- Put a quick hundred rds thru it useing all 3 mags & NO hic-cups -
The thing is a tack driver, was NOT exspecting that 
Anyways for those like me that have been thinking on one to go along with our "real" 1911's I suggest you take a look at one 
Oh yeah, HATE the stupid key safety thing but its on all of them i think-
Also the plastic mags but they work---
Real grown up 1911 grips fit too

Went with the Chiappa as well, different model though... Astonished at the accuracy, no FT-anything, this thing is waaay too much fun! I didn't get anything but an extra mag but for the price, I don't seem to care! Congrats Hoss!
...Pretty sweet those wood grips fit it too huh!! Looks great!! __________________

You know when I saw it I tryed to remember who said what about which make of 1911-22 good or bad but of course couldn't so went with my gut & a hope - Glad now I did 
The grip fit was a pleasant surprise
I'm kinda a 1911 grip fanatic - I now got 3 1911 type handguns & could dress them all different several times a week __________________
