COLT Ace .22 LR

Description:
Guns Listing ID: 474078



This Colt Ace 1911 in .22LR is a rare piece. Manufactured in 1936 and still in excellent condition given its age and remaining in 100% functional shape. This is a must have for Colt collectors or just collectors in general, it will come with one original magazine.

Short history of the Colt Ace : The Colt Ace or Colt Service Model Ace was created in 1931 and produced through 1947 to allow inexpensive and low-recoil sub-caliber training while maintaining the feel of the military Model 1911 pistol. The sub-caliber Colt Ace was derived from the powerful .45 ACP chambered Colt 1911 to allow military, police, or civilian shooters to train with the Ace without the recoil and expense of the 1911, but with similar ergonomics and sighting. Chambered for the far less powerful .22 LR cartridge, its barrel was constructed (on all but the earliest models) with a hinged floating rear chamber that amplifies the recoil when cycling the heavy slide, giving it more of the feel of the larger, heavier weapon.
