The Chiappa 1911-22 is a .22 pistol patterned after the M1911. The action is not that of a 1911, but a fixed-barrel recoil system and is manufactured from steel and "Chiappalloy" (presumably a pot metal).

If its anything like the Plinkerton 22 conversion dont ever buy it. The gun is poorly fitted and rough all over, and to make things worse one of the cylinders in 22mag isnt machined properly.
