Hello from France . Thanks for the video that were very helpful. I just bought a .22 Colt 1911 Gold Cup and I watched your instructions before the first disasembly and lubricating. I only passed a few dozens of ammunitions but the gun seems already fun and accurate. Unlike the GSG/SIG it seems to accept all types of ammunition and cycles very well.Many thanks and best regards.

Good to see you excited about a gun - a .22 at that! I'll say a prayer for your recovery.

My Youngest son got one of these in 2011&it came with 2 12rd standard mags&in a Colt hardcase was made 2011&was a 100th aniversary edition for the Mormon John Moses Brownings Colt m1911a1 design.

"That's all there is to it". Mr. GunBlue490 in a nutshell. Simple, understandable and at the same time very entertaining. A big thank you once again.

Thanks so much for such a great and simple and clear video on cleaning it just always seemed so daunting and difficult until I found your videos on this. Thank you and may God bless you in a speedy recovery!!

Good luck on your surgery!

Prayers for your recovery from your knee replacement, Gunblue. 🙏🙏🙏 Looking forward to your next video! God Bless!!!

The finish is beautiful on this pistol. Thanks for this useful video on the Colt Walther 1911 in .22LR. All the best!

Fantastic review, thank you sir. I've watched three reviews of this pistol and yours is the most comprehensive, thorough, and detailed. I had no idea the barrel was sleeved, I thought what I saw was the actual diameter. You're the first person to show a full field strip and ammunition test with different brands for accuracy and reliability. A light on a pistol never made sense to me for a civilian until you brought up varmint hunting at night. I never liked the look of the rails either. I was surprised that this weighs so close to a Government length .45. Best of luck and a speedy recovery in regards to your knee surgery, I hope it helps.

I've had the Gold Cup version of this wonderful pistol for several years and I love it! I have a 1911 for EDC and this gun is perfect for inexpensive drills from concealment without burning up a bunch of center-fire ammo. Great shooter! I sure recommend it.

Good luck with your surgery. Great video.

You really make this an appealing gun.

Very good video sir. It is a good looking 1911. This is my first video watching the field strip of the Walther 1911 .22. The one thing I found interesting was that the barrel is captive to the frame on the Colt/Walther 1911-22. I have a Blue Line Solutions- Mauser 1911-22lr made in Germany, most likely by GSG. The barrel on the Mauser/GSG is not captive to the frame and removes from the slide upon removal of the barrel bushings, guide rod and the spring. The 1911-22s are very fun to shoot. I hope you continue to enjoy yours.

Enjoyed the video! I've been looking into getting one. Good luck and prayers for you and your wife on your knee replacement that you're back on your feet in no time!

This channel kicks ass 😊

Thank you for all the great videos. Your video on trigger pull, especially the story about how the women “squeeze” the trigger, solved my low and left problems. With regard to this pistol, I just purchased one a few weeks ago after seeing your enthusiasm for the weapon. I was a little tentative, as I had a terrible experience about 10 years ago with the Sig Sauer 1911-22. Could hardly fire a magazine full without at least one hang up. Finally sold it and bought a Beretta M9-22, which has been a fantastic shooter. I have only fired about 200 rds through the Walther-Colt, using Mini Mags, CCI segmented and Aguila Super Extra, and have not had a failure of any kind. My only issue with the gun is that it shoots about an inch and a half left. I’m looking for a sight pusher to adjust the windage. I agree with you about the trigger pull and comfortable 1911 grip angle. It’s a lot of fun shooting. Thanks again for all the informative videos. You’re a great teacher! Hope the recovery is going well.

That’s a sweet little 22. Pistol I might have to buy one myself!

I’ve had multiple .22 pistols in my life and reliability of a rimfire pistol has always been hit or miss in my experience, but this has never had any issues since I’ve owned it.

I agree with you, however, I've owned and shot several Ruger .22 pistols for nearly 60 years and I can't recall ever having any malfunctions. I do believe that the Colt Walther is a very fine, reliable pistol, and very easily maintained.

Good luck on the surgery sir! Walther Umarex makes a number of 22 1911s including for GSG, Colt and a few others. I have the GSG version which I’m going to guess is close to 1:1 of the colt and I love it!

Thank you. Umarex owns Carl Walther as a majority stock holder, but they produce air guns, not firearms. Walther makes firearms. GSG does NOT make the Colt Walther 1911.

Hi GunBlue, I'm saying a prayer for your surgery as I type. I had a knee replaced about 6 years ago, and it's working very well. You'll be stiff at first, do your rehab exercises, it'll come along. What really helped me was to sit and bring my knee back as far as I could, just hold it there for 10 or 15 seconds, and then before you straighten it, look at where your heel is and bring it back another 1/4 inch. Just keep doing that, and you will be surprised how much range of motion you will gain. When you reach the limit, hold it, then go a little bit more. Good luck and blessings to you. I just ordered my Colt Walther 22, looking forward to it, thanks for the training.

Thats the gun I used to teach my kids how to shoot handgun with ,I liked the grip safety for teaching them felt between that and the exposed hammer it was easier for them and i to know when it was ready to fire .It won't fire unless they were gripping it and locks open when empty .and really runs nearly flawlessly And very little muzzle rise easy for them to get used to

I'm glad you're really enjoying that pistol! .22s are the best

Thanks for the review..

Don't have .22's in inventory, but, may have to change that. Had a Remington semi-auto 17-shot rifle as a kid. Great wood stock too. They're fun, just hard to find quality ones anymore. We'll look into this one. Good luck on the procedure. Everything has improved about those over the years, and very likely everything thing will go just fine. Cheers.

Good luck with the new knee! Had my right knee replaced last May, best surgical decision I’ve ever made, nice to walk without pain, first time in 5 years, now the left knee will be replaced next month to complete the bionic pair. Hope and Pray your recovery is as smooth as mine was. 3-4 days using a walker, then nothing more than a cane to stabilize after that. I’m 73 and the Physical Therapy was relatively easy, some minor pain but not bad. Prayers for a speedy recovery! 🙏

Glad to hear you have a call into Silencer Central about the adapter for a silencer, as my 22 can came from them. I checked out these online after your last video, and I need to verify the metal it is made of, as I live in one of those states that won't allow the sale of firearms made of metals where the frame, barrel, cylinder, slide or breech-lock is composed of any material with a melting point of less than 1,000 degrees F, or an ultimate tensile strength of less than 55,000 psi, or comprised of any powdered metal having a density of less than 7.5 grams/cubic centimeter. So firearms like the Ruger Wrangler .22 revolvers, Walther rimfire pistols, Cobra, Phoenix Arms, Heritage Arms, Hi-Point, and GSG rimfire pistols are not allowed in this state. And since this one is made by Walther, I am going to have to verify it's build before attempting to buy one. Not seeing them in the local shops though, which is usually a sign they don't meet the proper build requirements. Would really like to own one though.

Mr. Gunblue I'd like to ask you questions on revolver springs. I just got a Taurus 942M and man the double action pull is nuts. I understand that you can't go to light as it may cause light primer strikes, but if I could lighten it up a little it would help. Thank you for your time and hope your getting back on your feet.

It's virtually identical to the Chiappa 1911-22 take-down procedure, but the Colt Walther appears to be much better made.

Can you do a complete video on disassembly and cleaning of a Ruger Mark IV ?? 😊

Thanks for this video. The manual is sparse on detail. The wrench and loading tool aren’t mentioned. Thanks!

Hello Sir… I alway enjoy your videos. You are extremely knowledgeable. Thank you. 2 Questions please. 1) On this Walther (Which is amazingly simple to take down) after cleaning; when I rack the slide, it does not stay back unless I manually push up on the slide lock. This is a brand new pistol for me and I haven’t gone to the range yet. Hopefully tomorrow. Is this normal? 2) This is the wrong venue for this but my SW Model 41 is a great pistol but I struggle after every take down getting the trigger guard to lock up flush. Does the safety have to be on? I eventually get it but I fight it every time. Thank you… Gene McCann / GA

Take care!🙏🏽👍🏽😀❤️🇺🇸

What are your thoights on the trijicon scog for an ar15 rifle? Thank you for the knowledge you share.

Please you sound very well read on Colt's what's the quality of them these days some have been disappointed with quality control, I have seen a video on You-Tube about a military modern 1911 that came from the Colt's custom-shop it had a poor slide to frame fit it rattled like a rattler snake, there was a gap at the bottom of the flared magazine, he slid a piece of paper through it to prove his point, I don't know if they altered the pistol, but they come across as genuine, does Colt's now have issues with quality control? You might have something to say on the matter constructively.

One more thing please. Where can I get replacement grips for this. Apparently the screw locations & size are different compared to a full size 1911. (I guess that was 3 questions. Sorry) Thanks. 👍

Nice 👍. Trying to decide between two revolvers.... If you had to choose between two of the same size and weight, option 1) is a 4" 357 mag, 7 shot cylinder , using 180gr BB hard cast, or 200gr grizzly hard cast. Option 2 is a 4" 41 mag, 5 shot cylinder, using 230gr BB hard cast, or 250gr grizzly hard cast. Which one would you chose to save your life in big Bear country?

0:25 hello sir, I just obtained the colt Walther 1911 22 pistol, I must say I’m not fond of the trigger pull. Would it be safe to say if I followed your video “ how to tune a perfect 1911 pistol trigger” on this pistol that I would find everything similar as you would on a normal 1911. I think your video makes good sense and I would like to do it to this 22 government model. Please let me know your thoughts on this question Thank you, Bob

I've seen some video on questionable poorly fitted parts from the Colt custom shop it was a 1911 military spec in 45 acp brown coated covering, the fit barrel bushing to the barrel was slacker than it should have been, it must of affected the accuracy of this high-end pistol, the fit slide to frame rattled without a bullet being discharged down the range, thumb safety didn't feel positive, they talked about the flange magazine well, had at the bottom a gap you could pass a sheet of paper through, it cost over 2200 dollars and came directly from the Colt custom shop. This video is on You-tube makes a legitimate argument for not now buying a colt 1911, what on earth is going on? I understand Colt has changed hands, no one can sell on their reputation alone, standards and quality control seems to be wanting for another phrase that comes to mind. Colt at one time meant to the most part excellence and reliability built into these fine guns, USA stood for something then, I sure loved to shoot my "Gold Cup" and it was extremely accurate and well made with tight fit tolerances, how does these things happen, Colt was a giant in the industry, hmm sad. As a young man in the early 80's I bought my first 1911 Gold Cup the build quality was excellent, tight Bushing to barrel fit, tight slide to frame fit, positive click as you thumb hit down the thumb safety, there are several video's on poorly fitted pistols and revolvers, the Colt Anaconda 44 magnum had a review his revolver he took the stock grips off to see the inside workings, there was chunks not grinded down but it looked like it had been chiseled down, hmm the video camera picked it up in great detail, what a untidy mess under the stock grips, then he tried to put the grips back on it, he was going on about the grips being difficult to align them due to poor engineering. I had a few good years in the Tyne Valley Gun Club as vice chairman all that meant really was life membership, 40 odd years ago yes it was fun and I shot a lot of ball 230 grain down range, yet the slide remained reasonably tight after 2000 rounds, can you tell me what's happening to their brand, have they no pride in their workmanship. Colt1911 warmest regards, the sport of shooting in competitions alas got canned in the UK I just watch others shoot on You-Tube these days since they reformed the part one firearm license many years ago. I'm badly disabled so I have to get others to type messages, but I wondered what Colt is doing. @ColtDee

How does the trigger compare to a real 1911? The internals on this gun looks a lot like my Walther P22 made by the same company. Obviously the P22 is a DA/SA and this is an SA so I'm very curious about how the trigger feels vs a traditional 1911. Walther/Umarex make very accurate barrels from my experience so good to see this gun is keeping pace. I really want one of these.

It is a real 1911 and the trigger is as good as my Colt Gold Cup National Match. Being a rimfire, it doesn't require a locking breech, but it's every bit a 1911. The crisp trigger lets off from the box at just over 3 pounds.

Yep, that's certainly not recommended. Detroit Bullet Trap (defunct) once made a centrifugal trap rated for up to 38 Special and 45 ACP that were quite popular for home ranges. That changed during the 70's when the proliferation of new indoor police ranges revealed the dangers of chronic lead and hazardous smoke inhalation, even in heavily ventilated indoor environments. I generally restrict my exposure to very brief periods and not more than once per week, using only 22 rimfires. A strong exhaust is directly over me that removes fumes. I flush all trap lead dust and spatter from the epoxy enamel floor immediately afterwards, which is rinsed down a floor drain.

I would cancel that surgery and lose weight and take supplements to help rebuild cartilage.
