Back, sort of like a bad 1911 penny, with more 1911 guns and caliber variants.
This time with full size and weight .22 that Colt once offered for unique rim fire 1911 gun fun. With its floating chamber, said to be designed by David (Carbine) Williams of M1 Carbine design fame, the pistol was said to mimic the recoil of the .45 caliber pistols. I never felt this sensation at all, but only a curious, not unpleasant stutter. The design is a very interesting study. The Ace is also said to be persnickety to shoot and not too reliable. I've found that the pistol has distinct likes and dislikes about which ammunition it prefers, but is trouble free with .22 Long Rifle loadings that it likes. It's also not the pistol for those who don't tend to fastidiousness in firearms maintenance for it's said to not like to be dirty. I've never tested this as I've always cleaned this one every 200 rounds. This works no hardship and allows for much shooting pleasure on a nice afternoon at the range or in the field. It's said to not be the most accurate .22 pistol out there. This is true, but it doesn't give poor accuracy at all and can stack 'em in there if I'm in a "shooting humor." It's good enough for nice groups on paper, or tin cans, or squirrel or rabbit heads at 20 yards. I mostly shoot CCI Standard Velocity 40 grain solids in this Ace, made in 1983, last year of production.
Highly recommended if one seeks the .22 pistol that most accurately mimics size, weight, and balance of its center fire 1911 kin.
